Slight Jerk When Slow...
98' es300
130k
I've noticed a very slight light jerk when im going slow (under 10-15 mph) - I've havent noticed any changed in the car when idle.
Could it be a dirty TB? or MAF? any other recommendations?

It only does it when driving slow? Hmmm
.... Why don't you drive faster?
Could just be the transmission shifting causing that "jerky" feeling, or maybe even bad mounts?? As long as all your indicators say the car is fine you shouldn't worry too much. And you shouldn't have to clean your intake components rigorously to have a smooth engine, just make sure it gets done once a year.

i think i know what you mean... on certain low speed the gear will shift and you will feel a slight jerk. i'm trying to figure that out too. my 2000ES only has about 77k miles on it.
it feels like its shifting late or too early. i'll check out the shift linkage upper and lower and adjust it to see if that helps.
