  1. Of course anyway I can help! I am almost certain that will fix the issue!
  2. Does it have a CAM engine in it? If so than most likely one of the most reliable cars you'll buy.
  3. Hi! I actually created an account just to reply to this topic. I had the exact same issue in my 2001 Toyota Highlander V6. If you get on the interstate or motorway with a cold engine it gives you no issue right? It doesn't start acting up until the engine heats up and you come out of top gear which I believe in your car would be 4th. The issue is the knock sensor, the engine's computer is malfunctioning due to that sensor and as a result it doesn't know to up shift. I find that keeping the car in "ETC SNOW" setting helps with this issue but isn't a permanent fix. For me this issue was the final nail in the coffin for my poor beat up 01 so I sold it and got an 05 Highlander V6. You might want to do the same. As for getting the sensors from a pull apart the issue is that this sensor is buried deep in the engine so you better be ready to spend the day there taking apart an engine! Hopefully this video helps you! Have a good one!
