i have a old Lexus es300 with about 240,000 miles on it so i cant complain about the problems well taken care of car but driving around 65mph i have lost acceleration power in my car. I cant accelerate i press the peddle and my rpms go way way up but i don't accelerate. i can pull over to the side of the road turn my car off turn it back on and can accelerate fine again. anyone have similar problems or a solution to this problem?

year??

what is the engine/trans doing? downshifting? or slipping?

what do you mean you turn if off and restart it and then at that speed it doesn't have the problem... what is the problem....?

you were terribly unclear.
