GS300 2008 3l rwd
I don't understand what's going on. I was driving as usual, left the car for a couple of hours, then I come back and start it. Nothing unusual happened. It seemed like I was driving on the PWR. I put the car in gear, let go of the brake, and the car stalls and displays an error code. There were no jolts or kicks, nothing at all. I did this a couple of times and decided I couldn't drive on the highway. I was waiting for a tow truck, and, oddly enough, I calmly drove it there myself. At the dealership, I forgot waht they changed , but they also said there was no oil. After the service, everything worked as usual. Then I left and sat for two weeks. It was cold. I got in and warmed it up properly so it would engage easily, and the same thing happened again. After that, I drove away and it's still parked in the parking lot. I don't want to waste money. One person wrote, "It's the throttle body actuator. It most likely went bad or needs adjusting. It's a fairly simple swap, I think it's like 4 screws."
