Engine problem
1994 Lexus ES 300 6 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 136000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
This car has 225000 miles but engine replacement has 136000.
The car zoos a lot before it finally starts. It also has a skip, stutter, hesitation at take-off if the gas is pressed a lot at once. When the gas is pressed more it just does nothing. Then when it catches it runs smoothly. If it's driven in city it does fine but anytime you need to press for more acceleration like in traffic it takes awhile before it catches and then accelerates.
Would this be a fuel problem or more along the lines of a vacuum of some sort?
Also the check engine light came on.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
