SOURCE: During hot weather or during long hot drives when

Are you sure this is a 2000 model? What size engine - 3.5 or 3.8? And does it really speed up, or just not slow down? Never, ever heard of this happening in an LX5 Intrigue. Did someone just replace the engine? I would have someone check the throttle cables for binding, and have them disconnect the cruise cable for a test drive. And stop watching the news about Toyota : )

SOURCE: rough idle and poor start ups in cold weather what

You will need to make sure that the health of the car is good. Make sure that the fuel , fuel filter and the delivery is good.
Secondly check the spark intensity, check the plugs, the wires and trigger for the coils. make sure all electrical points are tight and clean so as the starter cranks without any lagging.
Finally check the plug gaps, the timing and fuel tuning.( hope the valve settings are good)

2009 Tahoe hybrid. Slow to get going in hot weather with A/C on
Hot weather and A/C on will always bring about a bit slower acceleration due to air density (hot air) and load on engine (A/C Pump). If this was not noticeable in the past with the A/C on, then I would say that you likely have an issue with the A/C pump at this time and suggest that you do not run the A/C until fixed. If you do, you will likely burn up, or break your drive belt that runs your power steering, alternator, water-pump, etc. The other thing to check on is your temperature gauge. If there is no gauge, be sure the temp light is not coming on. Overheating will also cause bad acceleration, but also result in expensive damage to your engine.

Check your coolant level when engine cold, low level coolant does not circulate very well at idle and will cause poor heating,at higher RPM water pump turns faster to help circulate.

Lexus SC430 Stalling Problem
Check the EVAP system canister purge valve, usually located on or near the canister itself which should be near the fuel tank. If the valve is clogged or stuck, it will cause excessive backpressure in the vapor return system, which sounds like what is happening here. Good luck, hope this helps.

Engine will not idle and run when starting in cold weather
Have a mechanic take a look at your throttle position sensor and engine idle sensor. Make him manually adjust them as opposed to just putting in new ones. It may require that you have to have a higher idle than normal. Your underlying cause is going to be that I am sure you have a lot of miles on your engine.
