2001 rx300 won't stay running
i've got 2001 rx300 w 82k (original owner). car starts if i put my foot on gas. car will continue to run until i take foot off gas, the car dies. Any other car, i would think fuel filter. hoping thats not it since changing is a PITA. any ideas?
what can i expect to pay for a fuel filter or a fuel pump replacement?
thanks

This is an excellent thread by tcheung 87 describing the IACV cleaning https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=358579
I can tell you I have to do this very same process every other month or so because I don't run an air filter. Sometimes I have accumulation, sometimes not, but it always seemed to coincide, at least when I lived in Mexico City, with higher times of contamination in the air and more so toward when I had higher mileage on my oil due to the nature of crankcase ventilation system found on our RX300s.
Another thing I'd run in the gas either a bottle of Chevron's Techron or better yet, Redline's Fuel System Cleaner (Pep Boys is where I have seen this for the most part), but Techron does a pretty good job by itself.
Apart from this, try disconnecting the battery cables for a few minutes to rest the vehicle's computer (I have actually found this to be more effective than the EFI fuse trick we know of).
