I am soooo stuck, i have a 97 lexus ls400
driving home one day on the interstate, I noticed a change in throttle. after getting off the interstate i had NO power at accelleration cant out run a metro!
finally gets up to speed but cant get a good kick down at high speeds
can barely make it up a hill from a dead stop!
I am LUCKY if i get 5 miles to the gallon and the fumes are BAD! (smells like raw feul). If i put my foot on the brake and give it a lot of gas I have very little pull
transmission checked out fine
code check on engine light suggested Throttle response Sensor,
and rich AND lean feul mixtures!
so 480.00 later we changed the sensor NOTHING
the shop suggested AFTER they changed the TRS that it was the catylic converter that it had collasped, so I took it to a muffler shop, nope not it!
any suggestions at all?
how could cleaning the throttle body help with the dramatic loss of fuel? it would seem that it would not go anywhere!
