After failure we replaced spark plugs, wires and got fault codes for mass air flow sensor. We replaced the MAF, got no more fault codes, retested, and got virtually the same test numbers as before the repairs. The catalytic converters are original. I run 10w30 full synthetic oil and again the car runs fantastic. Where do I go next? My next thought was the catalytic converters. I wouldn't think it would be an 02 sensor. If it is the Cats are any of the aftermarket Cats any good? Thanks. Mike D.

Lexus diagnosed my problem as bad ECU. They quoted 1100.00 to replace. Any suggestions?
