I have a 2003 Estima which I've owned from 5 years. 18 months ago it would occasionally lose power at motorway speeds but by further pressing the accelerator it would immediately recover. Over time however the frequency of this occurring has worsened with the car now losing power several times on even the shortest journeys but still immediately recovers with accelerator pressure. it has been checked on three occasions by Toyota specialists but they can find no fault showing up on computer diagnosis. I would be grateful for any ideas.

Welcome aboard, Alan......

They are the worst kind of faults aren't they.?...intermittent and leaving no OBD trace.

Which engine.?...2.4 or 3 litre V6.?

Could it be a fuel issue.?...pump/filter/fuel line etc..?...I guess the usual checks of plugs/air filter have been done.

Hope you find the culprit..and let us know if you do.!!

Many thanks for the comments. It's a 2.4 and yes, all the usual culprits have been tested with no success however.

The mystery continues!

Might be worth having a word with Gary at GT Motors in Newton Abbot....Estima specialists.
