HELP! Problem with Car..
So i drive an SC400 and lately its been acting up....
Sometimes when i drive, it starts to become hard to accelerate (i literally have to floor it just to make it out of 40 mph) and when i release the gas pedal, it slows down dramatically instead of cruising on..also the brakes get stiff when i brake..theres no check engine light or weird smoke coming out of anywhere...it happens at least once every time i drive it and lasts for about 5 minutes, then goes away...
Any Ideas would help and thx for reading...

I would listen to the other members about it, since im new to Sc's but like V8drummer said it could be your brakes catching. I had this problem on my mkiii supra. It turns out my brake booster was going out. So if the problem happens pull over and check your brakes.
