Toyota avalon hesitation on acceleration

Toyota starts without problem and idles smoothly for about 30 seconds, then idle begins to slow, and hesitates before shutting down. Pressing acelerator causes the engine to miss badly and shut down.

SOURCE: A 2007 Toyota Avalon XLS.

This is the downfall of a new toyota congrads you can relate to me i Own a 2008 Scion tC these new toyota's are driven by what is called "Drive By Wire Throttle system" there will always be a delay in the throttle response espcially in newer toyota's with an automatic transmission hence the newer ones have a 5 speed automatic transmission instead of the 4 speed automatics kind of a poor design on there end with the Drive By Wire. Sorry this is a problem that happens to be a design flaw on toyota's and some people notice it more than others.

SOURCE: throttle hesitation

Sounds like the throttle body is dirty, in my vehicles every three to four tanks of fuel in goes a bottle of heat. Even in the summer I have this ritual monthly. Try this for a couple of months and see if it improves.

Motor hesitates & bucks after slowing down & then re-accelerating

HMM, it has been awhile since ive worked on that toyota motor. Check for vacuum leaks on hoses and the intake manifold. Check egr system for a dirty pintle leaving the egr stuck open. It will cause bad acceleration and idle quality. A properly closed egr cannot be blown through to the opposite port. Check for a clean throttle plate, if it is not, clean it. If it is a fuel injected engine check for bad fuel injector o rings for wear, if they leak they cause fuel burning and idle problems.

2001 Toyota Avalon quits when at idle

Just had the same problem on the 2002 Avalon. Pulled the throttle body off and removed and cleaned the Idle mixture control valve which was caked in deposits. Runs like new now. About 2 hours of work or less. Common problem with this model I heard. Hope this helps. Some one gave me this info over a year ago and I finally got around to doing it.

Idle too low on hot starts 2001 Avalon

Sounds like you idle air control valve is going bad. They start acting up on a hot engine due to sticking or high resistance through its internal windings. It will get to the point where the engine will stall every time you take your foot off the gas.
I suggest getting it replaced and the throttle body cleaned at the same time since it will need to be removed to replace the IAC.
