hesitation/struggling around 3000rpm??

Post by DanT »

when i try to accelerate up to about 3000rpm its like hitting the limiter/pulling way in 5th gear.

i know it doesnt rule it out..but leads,plugs,dizzy and most sensors were replaced withing the last year..so was lambda sensor,coilpack etc.

how likely is it to be one of those still? or any other ideas?

i have checked around the tb etc and no obvious signs of loose pipes etc

i am planning to replace the lambda sensor first as seems this could be the most likely cause

NA or Turbo and what year?

Were the ignition parts fitted genuine Toyota parts? Was the car running okay before? anything done to the car before it started playing up eg. part fitted or car washed etc.? Is it firing on all cylinders?

All Toyota parts

Nothing has been changed. .only thing I can think of is as a one off I got the car washed at local polish place and they may of sprayed water in the Bay. .as it was day after that it started playing up

Wouldn't the eml light flash if it was sending an error?

It also hunts at idle and stalls if you don't keep revs up
