Don't replace anything until you know the exact problem... don't waste your money on a MAF sensor unless you are SURE that it is the MAF sensor. There is a decent chance it is the MAF, but there is a chance it might not be.
Ive seen somebody replace a cam angle sensor, a relay, the distributor, the IAC motor, for what?... a short to ground on a wiring harness.
Simliar symptoms could mean tons of things... find out what it is first, then fix it, don't just go on hunches.

Too late..as mentioned on my previous post I already changed the MAF but same problem. It could be an electrical problem..so how do I find a bad ground on wiring harness? The check engine only tells me I have bad knock sensors. I already bought a new car but it would be great if I can get it fix. Lexus wants $3500(ouch!) to fix it..they want to replace the wiring harness, ecu, knock sensors, o2 sensors. I think there's nothing wrong with the ecu and o2 sensors.
