Ok I am stressing out here. I was thrilled when I read this post last year. I did the cleaning and "Voila" worked great! I am in Florida and the July heat has come around again and my Rx is worse than ever. I am not a car girl, (but I do look pretty cute in one) my husband cleaned this last nite for about 90 minutes and once complete it was better, I drove to work today and same problems, I will list.. if anything that we may have missed rings a bell please let me know:
CEL is on and TRAC OFF light is on
1. Car shakes when idling
2. Shaking is really bad when a/c is on, almost non-existent when off, but WAY too hot to drive w/o it here.
3. When at a red light and try to acclerate, WILL NOT get up and go, takes about 60 seconds for the car to move at all.
4. Once car starts to move, will not get up to more than 25 mph for around 4-5 minutes. And then "Boom" big burst of acceleration.
And as I said as soon as I turn off a/c 95% of this goes away???
Is it possible that this was not done properly? He cleaned it all picture by picture, and said that everything is opening properly with no stickiness?
Just dont want to pay the $95 hourly rate at Lexus to get this fixed.
Thanks!!
Update!! I noticed while in park my rpms are perfect @700 and when in park the shaking is slowed down, if I rev it up in nuetral it helps, and when I turn o/d button on it is a little better with acceleration, but I was told it is bad to drive with o/d on at all times.
