Thanks for the replies. I wanted to make clear that the mechanic did NOT find any indication that the ECTS function was not working, but it may be a "false" report (ie: bad sensor). I can live with a bad sensor. The light has not come on since it was cleared. Do you all still think it needs fixed? I'm leaning towards it. Although it's about $400 USD to fix. Kind of steep for my pocket book these days. -jromeo96

I took my '98 GS300 into an independent Lexus mechanic today after an amber "check engine" light came on. After diagnosing the problem, he discovered that my car has an "intermittent open circuit in accelerator pedal position sensor". The diagnostic code is: P1127: ETCS Actuation Power Source Circuit Malfunction. I have had no problems with acceleration (even with the light on). The mechanic did mention the car was operating fine for the moment. He then cleared the "check engine" light. Question: Since this part is fairly costly and I plan on trading in the vehicle in about 6 months, is this something I can just continue to drive and see if it was an anomaly or is this something that can leave me stranded on the side of the road?? thanks, jromeo96
