Default I'm freaking out

I have an is300. When I start my car my check engine came on, my traction light is blinking and my car revs to 3k rpm for no reason. When I switch to reverse the revs drop, neutral they go up again and drive the drop again. When I'm rolling on drive the car shifts into second as if I'm rolling too fast. Any help or advice would be great thanks!

Is the cel on now? As well as traction? It might be the tranny in all honesty but if the cel is on u will have a little more luck finding out what's wrong

Yea cel was on and traction blinking. It felt like it was acceleration itself. When I would press the gas pedal I wouldn't feel it until like halfway down. But here's the crazy thing....after a few times of shutting the car off and on the problem fixed itself besides the cel light and traction....and then after a half an hour those went out too lol....gotta love the Lexus it fixes itself . I think it was something with my Throttle.
