If you have an 03' then you have an RX300.

You need to clean the IACV, along with the throttle body. You can find a DIY over in the RX "First Generation" Sub-Forum.

Default car keeps cutting off

Hello all who helped me
I did some of my own investigating and I let someone borrow my car and they put 87 octane gas in my and it doesnt do well with that gas so it has run its course and is running as usual. But I did get the fuel treatment as rec and will have the throttle,the other things cleaned as well per a friend said that wouldnt hurt. So thank you and Im so very thankful for this website.
