Forgive me if this has been posted recently, but I couldn't find it upon a search. I have an 01 Avalon. Obviously I've been through a fair number of battery replacements. This time, (last week) upon startup and drive. Its like a tank. I thought a couple of drive cycles on the highway would do it.. nope.
When you first start it up, the RPM's hover around 1500... until you put in drive. When you on the highway, the engine begins to stutter around 40-60. It gives your the impression its about to shut off. But so far, it never has.
If I let it warm up for a minimum of 20 minutes... then it drives fine for a few short trips. Then next thing you know... its back again.
Supposedly there's these instructions where you get the car up to 60 mph, then let it coast down to zero. I do have the available land (industrial park on weekend) to run these odd cycles.. I just dont' have the full instructions.
Any help?
Thanks.

Hopefully this helps, especially the last post at the bottom.
But I still wouldn't mind help from someone in the know.
