Lexus GS Fuel Consumption Issue

Hi, I've got a 2007 Lexus GS hybrid with over 217000 km on the clock. Lately, I've noticed the fuel consumption has gone up a bit, and it's sometimes a struggle to get it started. I'm thinking maybe it's the throttle valve acting up? I've had a quick look, but I'm not really sure where to start. Any ideas?

A 2007 Lexus GS hybrid was experiencing increased fuel consumption and starting difficulties. The initial suspicion was a faulty throttle valve, but further investigation suggested the accelerator pedal module might be the issue. After consulting a workshop, it was confirmed that the accelerator pedal module was defective and replacing it resolved the problem.

Given the symptoms of higher fuel consumption and difficulty starting in your 2007 Lexus GS hybrid, a defective throttle valve is a plausible diagnosis. Furthermore, consider assessing the accelerator pedal module, as a malfunction there can influence throttle valve operation. Proceed with caution.

Thanks for the reply! Accelerator pedal module, eh? Is there any way to check that myself, or is that something I'd need to take to a shop? I'm not exactly a mechanic, but I'm happy to try some basic stuff.

While basic diagnostic procedures can be attempted, accessing and testing the accelerator pedal module on a 2007 Lexus GS hybrid often requires specialized tools and diagnostic software. Given your novice expertise, it is prudent to consult a qualified technician for comprehensive assessment and repair.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. I took it to a workshop, and it turns out the accelerator pedal module was indeed the culprit. They replaced it for 205€. Runs like a charm now!
