No check engine light? Sounds like "limp mode", but limp mode should be accompanied by dummy lights.
Barring that, transmission stuck in high gear? Are you in "snow mode" or something? It should definitely go all the way up to red line when flooring it in sport mode.

EXACT same problem my car presented with;
....mine choked/stuttered @ 5k RPMs; when i posted this query here.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-5000rpms.html
upon further research, i discovered that the 3GS (gs300/350) had a DEVELOPING problem....I had my car repaired by Lexus under a TAS (Technical Assistance Service) case looooong before the TSIB fix.

read post #31, and #44; (notice the trending before post #31 = all are 300s/350s).
link attached on a Lexus TSIB fix for Carbon Buildup.
unfortunately, the TSIB fix for carbonization is only for cars with symptoms that are replicable by your dealer.
yes, the TSIB solved the stuttering, hesitation, rough idle..........not quite sure if it will prevent any future buildup.

BinaryJay, do you have a pic of where its located. Is it located by the sparkplug and has a connector on the top of it?
