Hi guys, having trawled the internet for the past day this forum seems to be the most helpful so i figured i would give it a go posting here. I am having trouble with my 2002 RX250 (M35?) stagea. Twice in the 8 months i have owned it, it has felt like it was going to stall on me. Without moving my foot on the accelerator it has surged and then dropped off. Both time this happened was as i was pulling out of my driveway and up the hill i live on so the car was cold both times. On both occasions the check engine light has come on. The first time the car would not start for about 2 hours, the second time which was only yesterday it didn't actually stall and i was able to drive home no problem however the check engine light is still on. From what i can tell (i only found out about the ECU fault codes reading the forum today) it is coming up with a 0340 code (i will upload a video of the light blinking to YouTube later if anyone doesn't think this would be correct). As i didn't know that i could check the codes myself i had no reason not to believe the garage who serviced it (part of the second hand dealership i purchased it off) when they told me that there was nothing physically wrong with the car and that sometimes gremlins like this occur and that it would probably never happen again. It was within the warranty period last time it happened but its not this time. I am taking it to them in 2 hours to get them to look at it again, if they tell me that there is nothing wrong again is this likely? Or is there an issue here that needs to be addressed before it causes any major damage? Any advise on what i should do from here?
