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++

you can clean them with the proper spray (there is such a thing) but is better to just replace them they are Not expensive just make sure they are Not Knock Offs? from China! but actual Toyota parts. most are held with two screws one on each side pull it out and replace with new one . runs smooth and you can say goodbye to the engine hesitating in most cases.

@@chuyocaca4153yeah but how long will it last. I rather clean the ortigal part.

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 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 💯

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.

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

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

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.

Definitely clean your mass air flow sensor, only spray the area inside the tubing not wjere the electrical connection meets. There's a kit with an maf cleaner and throttle body cleaner get that and clean both out there's tons of vids how your car will run much much better

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

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.

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

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'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!!!

So I changed my Mass Air Flow sensor and my hesitation problem stop. I have a GS300 98 and nobody couldn't figure out my problem. I came across a thread that someone recommended changing his air flow sensor resolve his issue after trying to clean the mass air flow sensor. My mechanic was surprised this was the issue all along because my check engine light didn't come on. I recommend getting your Mass Air Flow sensor from your dealer. This is my second time changing it over the last 3 years. You should change it yourself its 2 screws and a clip it is very simple.

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.

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.

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing

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

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

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 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

I ve been having the exact same issue on a Nissan VQ40de and could not figure it out, so have been throwing parts at the engine one by one, Plugs, Mass sensor, even bought a fuel pump and was going to install. Going to open the air intake up and have a look. Fingers crossed. Thanks

@@Kholmes97 I recommend that you inspect the intake from the air filter ducts and hoses until the Throttle to check for any defects. I thoroughly looked without dismantling and found out that my rubber hose was cracked. If u still don't see anything then do what he did in the video and dismantle the intake to have a better look. I go to the desert frequently so I clean my air filter every 2 weeks and in order to remove my air filter there is a flexible rubber hose that flexes every i remove the air filter. That hose wore out due me cleaning too often. It all made sense after I found out the problem. 😂

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

i never comment bubt salute brother 😁

Thanks for the information man really can in clutch but are you from Texas

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

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

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!

How's the car doing now

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

To disconnect that "MAF" sensor I think it´s that the name, do you need to disconnect the battery?

Can you do one for the other sensors

Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It checks live, record, graphing, emissions readiness test, transmission codes, ABS, SRS, oxygen sensor test, and MORE! It has code-connect to diagnose codes. Get 4 aaa batteries for under the rear cover. It comes in a black pouch. It checks from 1983-2013 and is updatable. Get a USB cable to update it. EBAY has it. It costs from $160.00- $170.00.
