Could be 3 things on the limited info I have.
In order of likelihood

1) Throttle Position Sensor-loses power every once in a while. Progressively gets worse over time. While accelerating at a normal rate all power is gone for a split second would be the normal diagnosis

2) Pedal sensor-by the gas pedal-same thing

3) MAF sensor on the air intake box.

Do yo have any codes?

A problem with 1 will normally not give a code unless really bad.

Yeah but it said something like heater circuit sensor.
I notice on my daily driving es300, that same code discription, both car sometimes it lose power for a minute until you let go of the gas pedal.
Where do you think this throttle position sensor is. I notice my intake box have a hole in it, i try sealing but no change.

Is it hard to replace the Throttle Position Sensor, that you were talking about. I heard you can sdjust the senor to your own and made the engine more agreesive, thanks
