how are your coil packs and spark plugs? Are they original?

I would've gone the Lexus OEM route, but for just 3 vacuum lines I looked up, they wanted almost $100. So I tried to find the best fitting bulk hose I could and cut and routed everything that way.
Check the PCV and EVAP hoses shown in the attached PDF. Both are on the pass side under the intake box. I'm sure they are hard and brittle but most importantly the air intake was removed for the TB service. Both of these hoses are rather difficult to get into place when re installing the plastic intake pipe. Either one could be completely loose as they are hidden under the intake box.

I don't understand ? You HAD the timing belt replaced. So did this start happening 2 or 3 months after the work was done? If it started day one, who ever changed the timing belt is the responsible party. You don't have to worry about what the problem is just take it back and say you did not fix my car.

And how come my first post was ignored???????????????????????????????????
We need the real facts since we are not there, and this is where to start.
