cardona6569 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hello: You have a problem with an electrical system, since you were able to regain control of the car. I had a problem like that and it was the mass-airflow sensor. Try cleaning that up. Get the codes they will pinpoint exactly what the problem is. You can also go to the Lexus dealer have them diagnose and they take it for the actual work to an independent which would charge much less.
