A bad ignition coil, or may be MAF. Clogged fuel filter will be restricting high RPM power (like full throttle going uphill), not take off.

 

So no filter and I have a cold air intake I just removed and cleaned so check the ignition coil? And thanks for all the help

 

Clean the MAF sensor.

 

Do you know where its located? Thanks

 

In the intake. Google up on how it's done. There are gonna be threads explaining it on this forum or ClubxB for sure.

 

Ok thanks ill try that and let you know thanks

thanks

 

Ok did like it said bought the cleaner and all ........still sluggish on take off bad

 

Also the cold air intake is sucking air good you can hear it

 

Check engine light is not on?

 

No

 

Just my 2 cents, but we need to eliminate some possible causes.

How many miles on your car?

I'm sure you have the right gap 0.031 on your spark plugs.

Check your engine hoses air/vacuum hose for leaks or needed replacement.

Have you ever changed you $12.00 PCV valve?
A stuck open valve or leaking PCV hose will cause a lean air fuel ratio and driveability issues like surging. When the valve is removed from the valve cover, a vacuum should be present at its opening. When your thumb is placed over the vacuum leak the plunger should "snap back" into the valve. When removed the PCV valve should rattle when shaken. Please note that if the valve does not rattle when shaken, it is oil sludged and must be replaced.

DIY xB Fuel Filter Change $60.00, which is right under the rear seat cushion https://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93840.

Clean your fuel system thru the gas tank with professional BG 44K Fuel Cleaner some say it is alot better than SeaFoam.

PS if you would like to purchase BG 44K Fuel System Cleaner it's hard to find + only sold to car dealers or auto repair shops. You find it on ebay or from where i buy it http://www.autobahnpower.com/products.asp?recnumber=542. I just bought 6 cans for my 3 cars + to save$ on shipping. You get a 11 oz can for 20 gal gas tank. I split the can run for 2 continuous fill ups on the xB.

Good Luck.....

 

The xb has low mile for a 06 like 45000 its a show car but we have been driving it a lot here lately that's when this problem started the plugs are good just changed them with the expensive one like 6 bucks each

 

I just turned 50K miles on my 2004 xB Spider themed showcar, When I did not drive it alot I always added a fuel stabilizer to my gas to prevent gumming/clogging up the fuel line + injectors while not in use.


Have any pics of your showcar to share?
