Can you be more specific? How does it idle? smooth? or still cutting out? Have you checked your cats or your o2 sensors? Have you cleaned your throttle body lately? It could be a numerous of things, is it throwing any codes or your CEL light on? if so, what are the code(s)?

I have looked at his car, and the way it starts and idles you would think it was brand new..its flawless..but once driving, like he said around 1900rpm, it starts kicking and hesitating..I looked through it as much as possible, but being horribly unfamiliar with the 1UZ, I was kinda lost on any specifics to check.

he was throwing a CEL like he stated, and TRAC light is on IIRC..
