Car Forum / Lexus Cars / November 2004ES300 shifts early when cold
I recently purchased a 1997 ES300 and I noticed it always tends to shift too early when it's not fully warmed up. You could be flooring it and it won't go past 3-4k rpm until it upshifts. When warm, it acts fine but it always shifts about 1k rpm before redline begines. I had a 97 Camry V6 before and I don't remember it doing this. Any ideas? >I recently purchased a 1997 ES300 and I noticed it always tends to shift too >early when it's not fully warmed up.

But it would have to be REALLY out of tune. I had similar problems twice and it turned out to be bad spark plug wires the first time and a broken rotor cap the second. It had a full tuneup around 1000 miles ago. Unfortunately this car has ignition coils so they should be good. Otherwise when warm, it runs evenly and has the power it should. > >I recently purchased a 1997 ES300 and I noticed it always tends to shift too > >early when it's not fully warmed up.

Perhaps the ECU/TCU are trying to prevent excessive engine wear by preventing high RPM operation before the engine is warmed up? > I recently purchased a 1997 ES300 and I noticed it always tends to > shift too early when it's not fully warmed up.

Always has. Prolly the fluid in the tranny warming up. -d > I recently purchased a 1997 ES300 and I noticed it always tends to shift too > early when it's not fully warmed up.
