Help with RX 300 Check Engine codes
1999 RX 300 with 175,000 miles. Timing belt and water pump were replaced within 3,000 miles.
Latest codes are:
today:
P1354 Variable Valve Timing
G0300 General Misfire
G0304 Misfire on 4
G0306 Misfire on 6
last week:
P1354 Variable Valve Timing (same code as last 2 times brought in)
P1153 A/F Sensor Circuit Response Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 2
No money due to the economy to buy a new car or SUV at this time. So I will have to do my best to make my Lexus last a couple more years. Any suggestions?

Who replaced the timing belt? Did your problems start after timing belt change? Was the idller replaced/examined.
The variable timing engine t-belt replacement needs special care.
I would start by opening the belt covers and verify the timing is indeed correct.
