hey guys ok well

the problem:

the car is a is200 sports 1999 automatic 170,000km(105,000miles i think)

the car has this problem idles at 3000rpm

i checked over everything for an air leak of some sort an nothing,

i drove the car around for 3days in this condition then i thought possibly its the throttle body so i pulled it apart an cleaned it an put it back on,

drove it back home from work where i did the cleaning, the next day i was driving it an the trc off light apeared an started flashing an the engine light apeared constant an i have no power till my foot is flat to the floor ( like it is in limp mode) i stopped on the side of the road turned it off for 15mins then started it an all good, then later in the afternoon same problem returned an hasnt gone away since,

checked for codes an had only a throttle code cleared it as i thought it was from when i removed it, started the car an still same issue, tested again if code had relogged an NO CODES!! wtf

need help urgent!!

Ok well wat I did was reset ecu then disconnected tps car still idled at 3k lol throttle butterfly operates as normal an fully closes an opens no leaks anywere I checkd EVERYTHING wat next u rekon jus try a new tps or mab swap the one from the cruise control piece as they are same part numbers

na man not floor mats lol definite problem under the bonnet, i can get 2nd hand throttle body complete with sensors tps an he lot for $225 but its a bit of money wasted if it doesnt fix the problem. but then what else could it be ??

Hi guys,

I have the exact same problem recently, with my IS200 6 speed manual.

173,000kms

Car randomly hesitates, still drivable - at one point it pretty much had next to no power - Engine light stays on traction control light blinks.

Lexus dealer wants to change the whole throttle assembly (i'm guessing this includes sensors) - they want a few K to get it rectified - which is way too steep considering the price of a whole 1g-fe engine.

Do you guy believe it's just a couple of sensors to change and all good?

yep sold a few of these. i work for toyota/ lexus

aaaaaaaaand there's your hookup.

funky's post applies here pm the guy... answer was on the lexus forum. not here

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
