2005 scion XB. 175,000 miles. Automatic. No codes came up when scanned.
I've been having some issues with my car's acceleration recently. At first I thought it just needed new spark plug and ignition coils so I replaced those. Shortly after my car's starter died and I replaced that. Now I have an issue where I start my car, drive down the street and then either stop at a stop sign or a streetlight. When I go to accelerate, all of a sudden my car decides to sluggishly accelerate, I am pushing down on the gas pedal but it has a delay in giving any power. It also seems like what power I do get is pretty low so instead of leaving the light or stop sign at a decent speed, I sluggishly pull out. Potentialy creating a dangerous scenario for myself or others.
The kicker is, after 10 minutes or so my car runs perfectly fine as if it never had a problem in the first place. Also the idle the entire time is steady with no power fluctuations. I am thinking of replacing the fuel pump and filter because I suspect that may be the issue however I don't see and videos describing my problem.
Thanks.
Get your alternator and battery load tested.
