I just recenlty bought a 1993 es 300 for $3400 with 105,000 miles. The guy that I brought it from always got his car serviced at Lexus. He told me that the Idle speed control valve needs to be replaced and so I did that and it cost me about $650. My car was jerking and it doesnt pick up right away when I push on the gas. Also when Im in traffic or stopped up the hill my car turns off. I always have to step on the gas coz when I stop then go my car is jerks. After I got the idle speed control valve replaced it is still doing the same thing but not as much and it still turns off on me. The check engine light is not on, but my mechanic said that now that we replace the valve everything opened up and now they saw more problems which now I have to replace the TPS.
So my mom drove my car and she said after what I spent how come its not fixed? So she called the shop and asked them why my car is still having the same problem and the manager said that I have to fix the air flow something and the transmission is not shifting correctly and it will cost me about $2000 to fix everything.
How come my mechanic didnt tell me about this?
I'm not really sure what's wrong with my car. Should I get a diagnostic test? Because Im starting to doubt these people
