You are getting power to each coil...

Was it running and it began acting up? Hasthere been any ignition work performed recently?
My only suggestion would be the ignition wires and plugs...possibly some wires are crossed.

The Lexus dealer will be helpful in this instance...write your VIN number down and have them run a service history on the car. Any recurring problems will show up and this may clue you in. Just schedule an appotitment or go in at a time where you have some time to talk to the service advisor.

It could be any number of things including the ECU.
