Default engine probl***s

I'm having a small problem with my LS 400. The engine warning light and the trac light come on and off sporatically. And when they do the engine will sputter a little like its not getting fuel. It doesn't happen all the time but lately it's becoming more common. Any idea's?

In the past six months I have had the timing belts replaced, water pump, and the Lexus dealer has replaced the plugs and new ignition wires. Its got a total of 108,000 miles. The air cleaner was replaces about a year ago.
