Default 98 gs300 cel vsc limp mode

hi im a nub here so here it goes. i have a gs300 1998 and my cel light and vsc light comes on and i have little throttle response (pedal to the floor) when this happens. i have a code reader and some times i can clear the code and some times i cant. i was wondering if there is a way i can use a diffrent throttle body off another motor that will allow me to get rid of this junk a$$ drive by wire my lexus is stuck with, or if any body has any dbw sensors for sale. Thanks

what is the code your getting.... it can be 3 different sensor on the throttle body... idle control motor, the accellerator sensor , or the TPS..... you can use the IS300 throttle but its still drive by wire.... but find out the code first... also do a search...there is a couple of thread on this... im one of them..... asking the same thing....any more question... feel free to ask...

code number are p1121 and some times p1126 will show up too. So will the is300 throttle body work? can i just use the acelerator sensor off one? Dose any body know where i can get just the acelerator sensor, ive tried all the auto parts stores and none of them can get it. Do i have to goto the dealer?

Is there a way i can just pull the pedal sensor off the throttle body and clean the contacts on the inside of it?
