I feel for ya... try posting your issue under the certified Lexus Mechanic thread stickied at the top of the NELOC section of the forums... main page and scroll down and you'll see the NELOC section... that mechanic is high speed.

Try that

I had a similar problem. Go to a good mechanic who can diagnose the exact sensor problem. Where is your car originally from? It could be just a clip that holds the sensor broke off - which was my case.
Let the a mechanic check all other sensors while at it so you don't pay labor twice.
I have good mechanic who did all work on my car including tb/wp change, he's in Brooklyn.
By the way, did you do a tb/wp change yet?
Contact me if interested.

If I remember correctly I had a problem with a camshaft positioning sensor. While there mechanic found two more sensors where plastic clips broke off - silicone did the job great, for a year and a half since this fix no problems. The sensors were on the drivers side close to the firewall.
