You feel it when you would slow down at a stop sign and then accelerate again, right?
And let me know how it goes, good luck!

Its only when I take off at a light from a complete stop; lightly gasing it I can feel it. But it might be because im lowered too.. little wobble, hesitation on acceleration for only up to like 5-10mph..

Is this the same symptoms?

TPS issue perhaps? My SC400 had this same issue, and it was all because of the TPS.

I was thinking it can be that too, but it can just be so many things, and the mechanic told me to forget about even trying to fix that because that's how the car is because of the Electric Throttle Body... But who knows.
And what did you do about this on your SC?

The mechanic is an idiot, let's get that subject out of your head.

This isn't normal AT ALL. The car is acting up and we're all determined to help you brother

.

On MY GS? I have the same style throttle body, on a v8, not a v6 like you.

I get NONE of those issues you speak of. Have you considered having your MAF and throttle body cleaned up? Have you reset your battery, to see if it's just the ECU acting up? It might help.... disconnect battery for about 15-30mins, reconnect, readjust your radio stations, roll your windows down and up (relearning each window, there's a topic on here somewhere) and your sunroof also.

This is an extremely common problem with the SC300/400's, so maybe do a little searching around those forums to see if they can help point you in the right direction. And the tech is full of it... Keep searching, you'll eventually figure it out.

Another possibility: bad computer? :/

i just realiZed today that when i put the Gear on "S" and leave it on number 5, the kicking doesn't happen at all and the car is so much smoother with accelerating lightly and everything, i'm surprised...
Can this point out the problem why it does it when the car is on " D " ?
