sounds like the gas pedal...especially with no kick down. get down there and check the 2 plugs. and then bite the bullet and buy a new one.
Model year 2000 CL500 is lagging instead hard accelerating when floored, then seems to hiccup at 3500 rpm before releasing its power...Thoughts?
Greetings all,
I hope everyone and their loved ones are doing well.
As mentioned above my 2000 CL500 is lagging (no kick-down) when accelerating with throttle floored, then seems to hiccup at 3500 rpm before releasing its power to redline.
Car seems OK otherwise and drives normally - just doesn't seem to 'give it up' like she used to when pushed.
I'm curious to see if anyone has experienced a similar symptom.
Love the car - Rides like a dream and it's always been a gem for the 12 years of ownership - But the above situation has me perplexed.
SEARCH function showed a couple of possible options, but nothing concrete so I'm inquiring with other owners or any auto mechanics here.
Throttle Actuator?
MAF sensor need cleaning or replacing?
TPS?
Thanks.

and there is a pedal reset that you should view. i do not remember the sequence but it does the affect the driving style. i think you turn on the ignition the depress all the way including kick down, turn off the key and then release pedal. you should still go view a video though.
