Loss of power and engine light on in Landcruiser

Hello everyone, I own a 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser with 290,000 km on the odometer. I've noticed a loss of engine power. The engine starts fine, and the battery and connections are in good condition. I usually let the engine run for a minute before driving to properly lubricate the engine and turbo. However, the check engine light sometimes comes on, and at those times, the engine idles low and won't rev, which is dangerous because I have no power and can only drive at 50 km/h. To solve this problem, I stop, wait 3 minutes, then restart. The check engine light goes off and the engine revs normally. Sometimes, I have to turn the engine off a second time before it works correctly. Would you have any advice or ideas on what could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

A 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser is experiencing a loss of engine power, with the check engine light occasionally illuminating. The engine idles low and won't rev, limiting speed to 50 km/h. Restarting the engine sometimes resolves the issue temporarily. A suggested solution is to check and clean the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, as a dirty or faulty sensor could be causing the problem.

Start by checking the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. A dirty or faulty MAF sensor can cause power loss and trigger the check engine light. Try cleaning it with a MAF sensor cleaner and see if the issue persists. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
