Sounds like its carbon build up. There are already various threads on this already.

A simple search would have brought up these threads

I Just received a letter from Lexus stating that they would repair or fix this issue on any 06-10 is model. Even if it were out of warranty. I will try to scan

it can come back w/in 20k, that's why lexus extended the warranty for the 250s carbon deposit.

Free fix regardless of extended warranty or not. SB is out for it. I had mine cleaned like 3 times and I'm only at 61k miles (2006 as well). When it gets bad again I'm going to do the piston ring fix. I drive pretty hard though so its taking awhile for the problem to come back.
