Default sc300 automatic. Slow start?

i got this car a few weeks ago and jsut did a tuneup on it. new NGK iridium plugs and cap and rotor and wires. it still starts moving very slow. i dunno what else to do with it. any suggestions for me? what might be wrong or is that normal in the automatic? Thanks all, Matt.

Slowness is a feature of the SC300 auto.
















(I'm kidding)






You should make sure the MAF is clean, then seafoam the engine. Search "seafoam"

the MAF sensor is the sensor that has 4 wires i think taht is right on the intake tube right next to where the air cleaner is. all you have to do it take it out and use some rubbing alcahol to rub it gently, you will see a small thin wire inside thats what you wipe but be carefull dont press to hard because it will break. or u can use some electrical connector cleaner from Kmart or walmart. its a spray bottle. so thats easier.
