No other problems, but it gets extremely annoying. I tried the gear shifting to get rid of it, and it was only temporary, and then it got the the point where I couldn't drive anywhere without flooring it to bypass the bogging. It was only two hundred dollars at Lexus, I recommend changing it before the problem gets worse.

Went to get it diagnosed.. didn't throw any codes which means its NOT the throttle body. They tried convincing me it was the throttle body (but that throws codes every time) Im just gonna get the pedal sensor fixed and see what happens. and yes its getting real annoying.

Are you still experiencing the smell at higher RPMs? Did you figure out what was causing it?
