Dude, you got right down to it!! You didn't talk about your dog, or a kid that threw a rock at your car, or painting your car.....you got right down and said it was the map sensor, and the plastic cover for throttle body area! Thank you for an accurate detailed explanation of how they work, how to clean them, and how it affects the car. I'm subscribing! 👍😎 A++

My father-in-law had a 2002 Lexus GS 300 with 136k on the clock that I was asked to sell for him. His Lexus had a similar issue in that when I stuffed the accelerator to the floor to get ahead of the approaching traffic the Lexus would "hang" around 4,000 rpm (suspended in time almost) and did NOT shift until my foot was lifted - totally unsafe!!! This video changed everything because instead of paying a local mechanic $158 to just diagnose the car I cleaned the mass airflow sensor with a special spray, pulled the airbox to find it crack-free, cleaned the throttle body and butterfly, and installed a new air filter to one that should have been trashed years ago! It's a completely different car(!) that now launches in acceleration quickly and shifts smoothly through its range easily getting ahead of any approaching car. THANK YOU very much for this excellent, informative video! The Lexus was just sold with spunk and longevity to a new owner who is delighted!

Very helpful and comprehensive video. Thank you. 330 000 miles, very encouraging.

Excellent video, and excellent explanation of issues. Just started having this problem with my 2001 GS300. It has 318,000 miles on it. This has been a great car (bought it new for my wife) and with your detailed video I'm sure I can fix it and she can keep driving it. Thanks!

Thank you! I had the same blown out air box resonator and it totally fixed my drivability issues! Couldn’t find this info anywhere else!

I've been using Gumout injection cleaner in the tank with theh PEA in it, and it's been doing a great job keeping the injectors clean, also I've used CRC's intake valve cleaner a few times cleaning the intake valves on GDI engines, and that makes a big difference if you haven't cleaned the valves.

Bro. I have an 02 IS300. Your video is one of the BEST & most informative video. Thank you! Do more 2jz videos! Lol.

one of the best videos i’ve found and such a great explanation on the 2j and possible causes of issue and fixes

You helped solve my issue on my GS300. Thanks man!

I did my ignition coils spark plugs the solenoid and cleaned my throttle body it had a bad hesitation at idle after it worked like new 💯

Thanks a lot bro !! The cars WAY more responsive ! No more hesitation

You are the man!! Look I wish I could give you all the money I've spent being a parts changer! Thank you thank you thank you thank you for sharing the knowledge! Bless your journey ❤️

Finally the search is over, this is the kind of video we need!

330,000 miles and still running good? Yea this is why i love toyota and lexus

No BS . . . It REALLY fixed my hesitation issues!!! THANK YOU!!!

I just found this exact problem with my 2002 gs300. Thank you for the video.

dude…i honestly think you just solved my problem on my 2016 chevy malibu lt 😭🙏🏽 thank you fr!!

This just happened to me just now, thank you for this helpful video. I will checklist just like this and update you on how it went. Probably good to clean my master air flow censor.

I'll be damned!!! I've been chasing a stumble/hesitation problem and way out of wack fuel trims on my '04 IS300 manual for two weeks now. I was convinced it was a fuel delivery problem since I could not find any vacuum leaks or CEL. After watching this video I went out to the car, popped the inlet tube off and sure enough, two massive holes burnt through the silencer box on the tube. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO!!!

Excellent video. This video helped me diagnose my Honda Odyssey air cleaner snorkel leak. Thank you!

Damn thanks for this video, for the last 5 year’s I thought something was wrong with my is300. Just just bought a new coil pack and spark wires thinking it would make a difference until I saw this video. I’ve checked the mass flow sensor and it looked dirty, clean it with the mass air sensor cleaner and the car ran like nothing happened. I use a K&N filter and you have oil them every time you clean it. Yep those oil from the K&N filter can mess up your mass air flow sensor.

You right about that I've been searching couldn't find anything in depth had that hesitation when putting my foot on the pedal going to do everything you said see how it turns out either way I appreciate your help keep it up thanks again .... Until then ....

Thank you for the video ! I fixed my problem without a mechanic!!! So helpful thank you again !!!

having the same problem with my gs300 ans because of you i found the vacume leak that was causing my problem thank you for the video

My Toyota Camry did the exact thing. I was like it better not be the transmission. I'm gonna do this. If this solves the problem. Then your video helped me.

Bro you’re the holy grail 🙌🏾 I have exact same problem in my gs 300 2004

Wow - probably THE best troubleshooting video I’ve ever seen - HUGE THANKS!! Not sure how anyone could give a thumbs down?!?

Life saver was about to start taking my car apart and see if it was a misfire but it’s for sure the sensor thanks 😊

One of the best videos I have found for this issue with the 2JZGE. I have a 01 is300 and I'm having hesitation and acceleration issues and hope it helps me out..thank you

My car had been low on power so like you, i tried cleaning the maf sensor and cleaning the filter to see if it would help. While i was putting the air filter back in i noticed the intake hose had gotten very loose allowing unmetered air to the engine. I tightened it back up and after a few miles of driving it was running perfect again

I am glad I found your video. I follow your direction and I just fixed my car hesitation problem. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the video it made me understand a lot and I applied it to my own vehicle

I ve got the same symptoms in my 1GFE. .IS200 Sport...will get it checked thoroughly. ..Thanks for uploading this👏👏👏

big thanks i am having these symptoms as well. will go check this out!

Thanx alot. I followed your video and fixed two issues at the same time, hesitation and low power.....Nairobi Kenya saying kudos!

My hesitation problem was my Throttle Pedal Sensor. Fixed it this afternoon! She's running smooth now. I'm also changing the MAF this week too

Thank youuuu it’s works ✌️ In Lexus Gs300 (2007) The car is flying 😎😎

Thanks man for the heads up

Thanks for the information,

Excellent video. Fix my car by clean the Mass Airflow Sensor, now it drives well.

Looked around videos finally some one that made my day thank you

Great video

Thanks a Million.😎👍

this is very helpful

You know what you’re talking about ❤🎉

yes you got the problem right i was having the same issue and happen to find out that both of my es330 fresh air intake hose were busted open and got it checked our with few mechanics they both had a different view one said fuel injector and said might be your transmission because it was gagging on acceleration but anyway after replacing those two intake hose it runs like a brand new and one more thing also cleaned my body throttle that also made a big difference.

Thank you my 2005 dodge stratus is doing the same thing. At least I can save a little money to fix it.

great video I'm having the exact same problem 👍

i never comment bubt salute brother 😁

Great vid. My 03 GS300 has the same problems. Will attempt this fix and see what happens.

Gonna try cleaning my MAF sensor on my 2003 chevy trailblazer. I'm having a very similar problem. I actually have some MAF sensor cleaner in my garage. Thanks.

You doing very good job Very good Nice Movie 👌👌👌 Teaching very good 👌 👌👌

Thank you!

Hey so I haven't changed my o2 sensor since I got the car and will thy make my is300 hesitate after a period of time

Thank you bro. That help my problem

My son needs the hood prop as well. You forgot to mention that as a common problem, he replaced the hood cartridges once but went back to that system. Ok he has the hesitation to I cleaned our mass air flow and still have the hesitation. Thanks we will check for cracks. :P

I have the exact same symptoms but on my diesel 1kz-te hiace. It has a throttle position sensor though...GRR Im pretty sure i have a fuel leak somewhere need to test. When i push the plunger til it goes stiff, after a wee while it will become soft again.

My 2001 2jz GS300 is doing this exact thing. It that about 297k miles. I'll clean that up THX!!

My car hesitates like how you described which I’m going to take a look at later, My other problem is my car idles super rough after it gets up to operating temp either in reverse, park or idling at a red light. It doesn’t turn over and there’s no leaks or check engine light. Took it into the mechanics and now it sounds like my alternator or timing belts is whining or rubbing after leaving the shop. It’s done it a few times before and has even stalled a few times because of the rough idle

You can also cool the o-ring to fit into the gap.

Verry Nice work Thank's

Hi I have a lexus gs300 1998 model I replaced the Rocker cover gasket and on rebuild I noticed I forgot to put the vacum pipes to the vacum switch valve on the back of the manifold! Does anyone have a clear picture of the layout so I could out this matter right please it's idling rough but dives fine anyone please ?

Maf cleaner is ether (quick start fluid) Brake cleaner is acetone (nail polish remover). Blue devil gasket repair is kitty litter (silica gel) and lye. Most qwik fix products are household chemicals .

I've got the seem issue with my 2000 Dodge Dakota 4.7L/V8. Plus it's idling a bit high.

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing

I have a similar issues like this after I stop at a stop sign the car hesitate like its about to stall I had a machanic checked it out he ran a diagnostic but didn't find nothing... how can you help me?

Cool. I suspected a vacuum leak when it smoothed out as the rpm's increased.

had a similar problem with my carburetored civic 95 d15b engine. runs normal but the moment i floor it it lurches and jerks for 5-7 seconds and then it goes vrooom all the way. took it to a carburetor guy said there was a fuel leak and he cleaned it up and changed some gaskets. took 5 dollars. after that it worked like a charm and no hesitation after pressing the throttle. no more jerking. but now its doing it again a little bit and its only been 2 weeks. i don't think anyone checked the air flow sensor. so im gonna do that. thanks for the vid!

I love this video for me

Its always the most simplest...we tend to overlook! Great video..subtledriver! So a new MAF sensor would fix the bad acceleration throttle response?

My car Hyundai accent Hesitate when Accelerate on idle when warm. Any solution? I have replaced Ignition system And serviced car recently. HELP

Hi... I have a same engine...but my car problem is I had one master key...which accidentally got damaged after that I'm having difficulty in starting my car....nowadays if I put my key and start ..the car starts and dies and the security light starts blinking and never gets turned off even after trying several attempts to start. What might be the issue?

Ok some im having a problem similar to this and my short term fuel trims were lean on both banks. I cleaned the mass air flow and i also noticed the air box where the air filter is ,was not fully latched ,leaving a gap. After i properly latched the air box the fuel trims went back to close to normal. Could that gap in the air box have caused drive ability issues?

Thanks that might be my problem..

Wish I could fix the power loss and jerking on my car but have no idea whats going on. I did a check on the maf sensor and the car stops as soon as i unplug it so cant be the maf sensor. Im getting quite frustrated. Cant even get up a hill sometimes with foot flat to the floor. Was told could be turbo?

My car does this exact same thing but also my speedometer stops reading after i get to 30mph. Any ideas? Its not the VSS because my cruise control and odometer are working perfectly.

Get some gumout or Techron, something with a lot of PEA!

please help me to my chevrolet spark 2015 LS1.2 no check engine light indicate to dashboard and low voltage result to scanner. dont have to supply negative power from ecm to main relay. thanks in advance

Have a Mazda 2002 truck and jerks and shudders when I step on the gas. Changed the coils and plugs but didn't help. Still doing the same thing.
