Default How to get out of limp mode?

I replaced the secondary air injection valve along with the 2 knock sensors because all sorts of of chistmas lights were lighting up on my dash. The car had no power before I changed it and now it feels the same. It doesn't want rev. Did I happen to make a mistake?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes. You'll have to reprogram the windows & seat memory afterwards.

This sounds like the best option, here is how you reset your windows https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...-or-reset.html

Yes I left it unplugged for the whole entire day as well as overnight and it still drives the same.

Can leaking fuel cause it to be weak?
I noticed the fuel injector was leaking out of the top because the tan retainer/spacer on top of the fuel injector o-ring was missing for some reason. Maybe it broke off when I was removing the fuel rail.
Anyway I bought a new one and replaced it. No more leaks from what I can tell, and now it feels normal.
