    It sounds like you lost oil pressure momentarily or at least the ECU thought you did. Have the codes read at Pep Boys/Advance Auto/Auto Zone for free and go from there.

    The problem is asking a bunch of strangers on the internet while telling us more drama than facts.

    As mentioned, you need to have the codes read as a starting point. With those in hand someone here can likely point you to the problem area.

    If theres NO codes almost sounds like loss of voltage like bad connection, short, bad ignition switch. Do you have bunch of crap on key ring?

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    Nothing quite like calling it a feature as though Toyota intended it to happen.

    Kind of a shot in the dark, but going of previous experience..

    You may have trash in your oil which is getting caught in the mesh screen inside the valves. The VVT system attempts to adjust accordingly, ends up throwing a code.
