My Lexus LS400 stuttered for a few seconds when pulling into a parking lot. After a meal the car started fine but didn't respond well when I went to pull out onto the road. The car was very sluggish, not responding to the gas pedal. Then it stalled going around a corner when I stepped on the pedal and at a stoplight, too. It also wouldn't shift well, yet when I shifted manually the car ran well through the first three gears. This car has been running beautifully and the problem occurred like a switch was flipped. Can someone tell me what's going on with this car?

Could be gas related, Pump, Filter, MAF, Injectors. Could be Cat decided to clog, maybe a chunk busted loose and clogged the exhaust. Any number of things. I would suggest going to autozone or Advanced Auto parts and having them plug their code reader into the ECU and see if any codes are popping up. If the car is dying, you should have a check engine lite that has come on, especially since the car would have been running sluggish and probably rough or misfiring at some point. If not then you may be looking at ECU problems.
