the ecu failing could be a issue i had to get my buddies rebuilt but his issue were more like the throttle body not working 25% throttle no more. a lot of people go thru tps and throttle bodies when the problem lies in the ecu easy way to find out is if you have a friend with the same car you can swap out the ecu to check just have to remove the chip in the key with out the proper chip in the key it wont start. lexus dealer had told him it was his throttle body and wanted 2000 for it. got his ecu fixed and reflased for the key for about 500
