Hi Guys
I am wondering if I have a problem with my transmission on the 2000 GS300 Sport.
1. When rolling at about 15 mph then placing foot down there is a hestitation then kicks in (seems quite a common problem)
2. When the car changes from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th the transition of the gears seems slow.. almost like its slipping slightly. However when i pull away from standing still it pulls fine.. no slipping. Just seems the gear changes are slow and the engine revs very slightly.
I have had the fluid changed.. no affect
Does anyone have any suggestions to what it could be?
many thanks

Couple of weeks ago I got Engine Fault code P1121= Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor/Range Performance. It was a persistant problem too.
Reading a few threads around the net I come to the conclusion of the problem.
I replaced the air filter, cleaned MAF sensor and Throttle Body and I have not had a single engine light on since.
So if anyone ever gets P1121 = Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor/Range Performance code then that could be cause of the problem.
The reason for this post was that out of all the threads i searched for never gave a definate result to the problem. So I wanted to log this for others :)

hi
Error code turns out to be P1121 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor/Range Performance.
hmmm not sure what to do next.. dealers seems hesitant in giving a proper solution apart from replacing the throttle body (damn expensive)
I am wondering if the throttle cable is the problem... when i pull the cable i have slight play.. as in i can pull it backwards and forwards.
Should the cable be tight??

2000 GS300 Sport
HI
Wondering if anyone has had the following problems. I have the car booked into Lexus but itching to know what it could be before then.
I started noticing when rolling down hills that when i applied the gas the tranny takes a second or two to pick up... then noticed each shift between gears was slow and slightly slippy.
Then I have had 4 occasions where i have had the engine light come on and the car goes into limp mode.
I also feel the engine is sluggish and very uneconomical when driving normally.
When cruising at 40 and i take my foot off the gas pedel the car feels like it is in a much lower gear.
regards
My Es300 Runs Bad After Sludge Clean
in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330

hi guys
Wonder if someone could help me please.. I recently bought a 93 ES300 for my son to use as i already have a GS300 and I love the brand.
Problem is that i read up that the older Es model suffers from dreaded "sludge" which worried me as the car has 140k on the clock and it has a patchy service.
I wanted to give the car a service myself and I thought i would take off the top cover of the engine and it looked pretty sludged up in there.
So I have cleaned it all up and whilst performing an oil change i thought I would run some soapy hot water through the engine to give it a good clean.. and leave it to drain overnight, looks real clean now!! amazing :)
I have topped it all up with oil and changed all the other parts (filter and plugs etc.)
problem is now when I start the car she sounds rough as hell.
Anyone know what could be the cause of why she is running so bad? Sounds like some tap dancing!
thanks
Johno!
