| Description of the problem | My 2004 toyota solara sle v6 exhibits severe throttle lag at speeds lower than 50 mph. The lag is at its worst while decelerating and then accelerating, with a lag of up to 1-2 seconds. The lag is also severe from a stop or from a rolling speed of 10 mph or less; to compensate for the lag, it is natural for the driver to press the gas pedal even further and when the vehicle finally decides to respond, it responds with rapid acceleration. This is a safety issue and has nearly caused several accidents throughout my 3 years of ownership. Toyota issued a tsb for new programming for the ecu/ect and it has failed to fix the problem. *nm |
