This car should not be driven any further in limp mode, the fuel economy will not improve.

There is a description of the poor performance in this thread;

[Poor Acceleration in lexus es300 2003 - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk Community](https://community.cartalk.com/t/poor-acceleration-in-lexus-es300-2003/183890)

Last month I drove a customer’s Lexus with P0325 fault, even with a V-8 engine the car was barely drivable.
