intermittent limp-home mode - WHY?
my car is hard to start and runs on high idle (17-1900 ish) and hardly any power when a gear's engaged. so called limp home mode from what I am told. Thing is, this is intermittent and every so often the car just all of a sudden runs well for a bit. Then once it cools down the same problem occurs. What is it? A bad sensor? Idle valve? ECU?

uh, yeah...that should have been an obvious abb for me. Oh well.
Yes, there's a CEL on...but here's the thing. I already went past lexus and had the tech connect to their computer. I was hoping they could tell me what was wrong, then I could go home and fix it.
Thing is, we couldn't get a reading from the ECU.
My only option now is to return it to them and have them figure out why the ECU didn't give a reading and take it from there. I'm afraid that's going to be $$$ - so I thought I'd check in here first
