I haven't checked the spark plugs yet, but I will. I don't have the error codes right now. Could a simple cable or plug issue really cause so many problems?

It certainly can, a loose or corroded connection can mess with the ignition system. But given the symptoms and mileage, a professional diagnosis might be best to pinpoint the cause and prevent further damage. I had a similar problem, and it was a cracked ignition coil, which I had the workshop replace.

I took your advice and went to a workshop for a diagnosis. It was a defective ignition coil. After the 95€ repair, my car works perfectly again. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I have a Lexus LX too, and that sounds familiar. Did you check the spark plugs? A misfire, often from a faulty ignition coil, can cause those issues. Any specific error codes from the check engine light?
