Sorry for not mention it earlier. It went on and then off. Then they check it code P2121.

Finally,

I go to the dealer today and they found out what the problem was. It was P2121- Throttle PDL- Position Sensor; it needs accelerator pedal sensor and reprogramming. Te quote for the part alone is $700, the labor might be an hour, which is about $129. I try to look online to find a cheaper part, however was not successful. Anybody know where I can find it for cheaper?

Will it start when you hold the card close to the key?

Yes, it will.

Hello All,

I got a 2004 Es330 with only a valet key and a key card with the key and key code. I assume that the key card is the master and also be able to program additional master key. I got a new master key cut from the key code at SPARE CAR KEY. It work perfectly: open the doors, lock and unlock the glove compartment. The only problems is the it will not start the engine nor unlock and lock wireless. I've try the gas (5 times) and brake (6 times) trick. but was not successful. Please help???????????

Please don't send me to the dealer. Thanks you

I just finish changing the spark plugs, the problem still exist to a minimal. The inside three spark plug take forever, especially the middle one. It snow here in Houston, TX for only one day. I don't think that could be the problem.

I will try to change the rear spark plugs and see what happened. It was fine until the snow happened, something must be frozen or something. I don't know, I will keep update later.

Hello to All,

I recently bought a 2004 ES330 with 142k on it. It was running great for about a month or so. Recently, the accelerator seem to be hesitating for a second or two, especially at low speed? What could be the problem? From my experience. I thought it was the spark plugs. But I can only change the outside three. The inside is a lot more difficult. Please help with advice on changing the inside plugs or identify the problem. Pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you in advance....

I recently bought two blank uncut keys with remotes on E-bay for my 2003 Lexus ES300 from remotez4less on E-bay for a best offer amount of $64.00 each, e.g., $128.00 + $10.35 combined shipping and handling. They also can supply you with programming instructions as well and you may, in fact, be able to program the keys without having the dealer re-program the key for you as I read into their instructions. In any event, the Lexus dealer in Camp Hill, PA. cut the blank keys for me for $10.00 each. They also said they could program these for me if needed for $30.00 total. All together, this is still probably less than the Lexus dealer would charge for 1 key. The keys I bought after being cut do open the driver's door and turn over the ignition but they won't be able to start the car until I actually program them with the instructions they included. These instructions while very explicit and detailed do not seem to be too hard to follow. I would highly recommend their key blanks with remotes. They come with the 1616 battery installed in them as well and they were shipped out to me within a day or two. Good luck with your problem.

Please keep me inform. thanks

there are many discussions here on forums on this exact topic. use search button.

i believe you will have to go through the dealer to program your remote, since you dont have a master key with remote anymore. blank keys could be purchased on ebay or other sites.

How much will this cost me?

Hello to all,

I recently bought a 2004 ES330 from a previous owner. All the owner have given me after the purchase was a template key and the valet. He doesn't have a master keys nor any remotes. It is very inconvenience to open and close the door with a valet key. When it rain, I can't open the trunk to put my equipments into it. Does anybody know where I can get a master key made or do it myself? I've search all over the website, but most of the information is out of date. I don't want to go to the dealership which will charge me an arm and legs. Thanks you everybody in advance. :(
