Thank you. This seems to be what I was looking for. Luckily we have a certified Lexus mechanic here in my city, so I will go to them and tell them about the issue. Hopefully they know what to do then. Thanks!

Hi, Im a Dane living in Germany, and about ½ a year ago, I bought a Lexus IS220D. The car was used, had about 96.000 km behind it, and is from 2010. The car is very good, and Im a happy owner. I bought the car with 1 year of extended warranty. BUT: I noticed something that I need to understand. When I accelerate, fx. when I want to overtake another car on the highway, I experience something, I can best describe as small "slips" or "holes" in the acceleration. It is like for ½ a second the engine is not getting enough gas. It happens several times, but only when I am accelerating by pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I experience this typically between 2-3000 rpm and I experience it no matter if Im driving in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5ft or 6th gear. If I accelerate normally, without pressing the gas pedal to the floor, I do not experience these slips. With a normal steady acceleration everything is just fine. The engine otherwise runs very normal, but I expect something must be wrong. A Toyota mechanic in Denmark just made a small rutine and oil check of the car, and he said it was running perfectly. Before I go to a authorized Lexus mechanic here in Germany, I hope I can hear from someone in here, who might have an idea what is causing this problem.I still have ½ year of warranty for the car, and I need to figure out before this warranty runs out, what this problem is, so I can get it fixed. Hope someone can help. Any ideas what is causing these "slips"? Thanks, Regin
