hey guys yeah, I have been having my mechanic who predominately works on european cars do all the work on this thing since he's my main mechanic and does everything cheap. when I bought this he said he works on them too, and he's at a loss at this point. I'm thinking i'll take it to a japanese...

Good idea there too...

I'm in San Diego. Yeah I thought of that too but this guy has a 5 star rating on eBay so I doubt it... Never know though

It is with great sadness I must report that the new (used) throttle body did NOT fix the problem. It has been cooler here the past week or so (since I have had the fix) and I haven't been using the ac. Well the heat is back and with the AC on and it being 80+ out, the loss of power is back. FML...

Thanks for the offer! I actually didn't see this until today. I ended up getting one off of eBay for $240 (with a return policy) and had my mechanic install it for $90 a couple of days ago. Been two days of freeway and city driving, and so far so good! I'm pretty sure that fixed the issue. Super...

Yeah I have cruise. I’m going to call that dealer today and double check. I’ll probably order that instead of take my chances with eBay...

Hmmmm.... Oddly enough when I entered in my VIN on toyota parts, it looks like I can get one for $517.... Not too bad, I wonder if the sensors are included with this? Anybody know?

Hey all. My mechanic found (and ordered) the “hard to find” TPS that ends in ‘30’ NOT ‘20’. I showed up there today and we verified it is indeed a four pin sensor My reason for posting is - there appears to be two sensors in the photo (circled in red). He said the one on the left does NOT come...

Is this simple to do?

Write up: 01-02 T4R Throttle Position Sensor Info Found it. So for $65 I can replace it and not pay the $1300 that I'm reading about? If so how difficult is it to replace?

Hi all. 2001 w/ 240,000. I make the drive up to the Bay Area from Southern CA usually once a month. I noticed recently on these trips that after I let off the gas and then gas it again on freeway there will be no power whatsoever for about three seconds and then you can feel the power kick in...
