First thing to do is run a scan on your powertrain. Does this car jerk? Sounds more like a misfire

Left Delta today would have helped out on scanning.
Make sure you ran a scan before your mech performs a trial and error because he is not certain.
My mechanic says it may be fuel pump

it does not jerk for now sir but two weeks ago it started vibrating and refuse to fire to 40km then my mechanic says is coil which he bought and change and all the problems stop. Only to notice this new development yesterday but this time no vibration and only drives to 60km only.

You can also check the brain box probably the gears aren't selecting more than gear 3

a classic example of one or more cylinders not contributing to the power of the engine, since the engine is not running at full power the ECU will not permit you to change to certain gears so as not to destroy something in the Tranny, so run a scan and go from there, but sometimes the car clearly misbehaves but will not out put any fault codes so don't forget to check the live data and fuel trim data, make sure the person that scans your car can interprete live and fuel trim data. That is why it is good to change the coils as a set, but it might be another component, BTW how many miles are on your car's odometer? If more than 100 thousand, then it is normal that ur car has these problems.

Bros,i have an RX 300 and had the same problem!!mine equally doesn't change gear beyond abt 60km/h.......had to change the gear box eventually plus electrical rewiring. Lexus rx 300 gear box is relatively cheap(90k).
However go for the scan 1st,gearbox shld be your last resort

GAZZUZZ:

A scanner with live data capacity can do that. From there, it can also be confirmed if the TCC lockup is being commanded.

He can equally command the shifts from the scanner if necessary.

@OP, Some factors will limit vehicle speed:

ECT
VSS/OSS
ABS (only applies to newer models)
MAP
Knock sensor.

If the TCC remains in wet connection, the car will drag, but should usually get to about 90km/h. Note that some of these problems will not set a code.

That's a Kazeemized name. You are better off calling it final drive. Also note that 4x4 drive does not make a vehicle an SUV. There are 2WD SUVs, and there are 4x4 sedans.

I thank everybody that shows concern towards fixing my vehicle from gazzuzz to kingreign and other professionals in this forum. Thanks and God bless you. After the scan it brought out p1150 and p1346. So i was directed on where to fix it. I got to the man and show him the scan code the man laugh and throw it away and says that make i forget computer and work on my car. Lol. He entered the steering and zoom off to express road. After testing it he says the exhaust has blocked and could not allow the car to breath. I call kingreign to convince the man on what the codes mean but after the call the man called another mechanic who drove my car and still say make i leave computer code na exhaust blocked. I said ok make them loose the exhaust after loosing the exhause with entered the road and my car flies like plane then they told me to buy catalyst at the exhaust or make them remove the block catalyst so that my car will run normal again but with high fuel consumption but i disagree and called for new catalyst which they fix and my car returns to normal speed. We then rescan the car and the p1150 never showed up again. The p1346 came up but with different status now " cam shaft sensor error signal" before it was cam shaft un alignment and timing solenoid. They told me to change the sensor which i will do soonest. My people as of now my car is flying and i pray it continues. Though i spend money shall.

Congrats but, lack of catalyst won't have affected your economy.
