Throttle Problems, Please help!
Well, I have an 01 gs430 that has been a great car up till past couple thousand miles. When i'm at low speeds and give it gas to get going again, the car doesn't respond, it just sits there until I give it more gas then it finally kicks in and takes off. It doesn't do this constantly, only random times throughout a drive. (Went to dinner today, did it twice on the way back to the house which is about twenty miles.) Any help would be great, the dealerships and everyone I know can't figure it out.. I've replaced the throttle box on it and didn't change anything. Still the same problems. Could it be fuel pump, injectors?..I'm really not for sure.
Thanks!
Thanks!

+1, get us the code. Cleaning the maf will help, also try some lucasoil fuel system cleaner when you go for your next tank (put in right before you fill up). If none of that works, you'll probably be getting a check engine light in which case it could be a plug, coil, or injector. Also, the fuel filter could be to blame for your issues, so check that out/replace it.
