2008 Lexus RX350. I replaced the plugs, coils, MAF sensor and the fuel ratio sensor. The car starts then immediately dies, it may be a fuel delivery issue, where would I go from here?

Question edited for clarity, full year make model. Question moved to model category. It sounds like you are subscribing to the "let's try changing this" method of car repair. Have you disconnected the battery recently when this problem started? It is one of the classic symptoms of a good engine immobilizer. Is the theft light flashing on the dash? It has a sophisticated engine control system and will generate codes for everything that is wrong with it. You just connect a pro grade scan tool computer to it. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me I have an ES330. Great car! ..

Check engine light and vsc

Source: What Does Your Check Engine Light Mean? When the powertrain or engine warning light illuminates, it could indicate several issues. In addition, it does not have to be a significant problem, such as a misfiring engine; it could be something minor. When a potential problem is detected, the car's computer will alert you, and the check engine light will illuminate. Typically, either the transmission or the engine is involved in these issues. Regardless of whether you believe the problem to be minor or not, the check engine light should always be addressed immediately. The simple reason is that the exact cause of the warning is unknown.

Lexus RX400H won't start. Prior suddenly stopping the car was having temperature issue. It has been scanned with 3 different machines, but it is only picking light and ac error code.

2006 Lexus RX400H hybrid .and long story.(you added and very very good)and if was mine, my story would be same, park it and wonder what to next.?this car is very complex, unlike ICE real cars were simple and still are to a good extent.I do wish you find a good shop to cure all that.a full service manual in hand may do the trick.IDK.good luck! and be SAFE.use the scan tool as the hybrid starts and fails to light off the engine, see DTC code for that.scan before ,during and after failuresand use the pending button too on t he scan tool as here may be marginal or intermittent failuresalso (Im no hybrid guru) but some hybrids do not run the engine (to save fuel) until the battery has some amount of discharge detected.some even have switches to set the mode you want,save fuel or save battery life, IDK this car.

2008 Lexus GS 450. The electrical box under the battery has a broken prom. What's this box called please.

I spend 20 minutes earlier searching to no avail. I edited your text for clarity and moved the question to the model category. I was not sure what this 'prom' word meant, but in the wildest of guesses, think you mean 'prong' or better still 'connection pin'? So then, I attacked the question from the 'faulty steering aspect' and BOOM! Power Steering ECU is below the battery.

2006 Lexus GX470. How to fix the out dated computer?

You can get a cheap scan tool on Amazon for $35. If you want to do it for free, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for 15 minutes. After that though you will need to know the radio code and you will have to reset the security system.

I have a 2011 Lexus 570 LX I'm trying to figure out how to remove a console lid it's a dual lid on a cool box to reupholster it.

SOME CARS SEATS MUST COME OUT TO REMOVE THE WHOLE CONSOLE TO WORK IT. THE REAL SERVICE MANUAL COVERS ALL THIS FROM LEXUS. SOME LIDS DO NOT COME OFF, WITH RIVETED HINGES ARE WORSE, THOSE PLASTIC FAKE HINGES. ONE MUST LOOK CAREFULLY TO KNOW THAT.

How to remove a 06 Lexus is250 ECU and mainly the junction block mounted inside the case that sits above the ECU

  1. Locate the ECU: The ECU is typically mounted under the hood of the vehicle, near the firewall.
  2. Disconnect the battery: To avoid any electrical shock or damage, disconnect the negative battery cable before beginning the removal process.
  3. Remove the cover: There is likely a cover or panel that needs to be removed to access the ECU. This may be held in place with screws or clips.
  4. Disconnect the electrical connections: The ECU will have several electrical connections that need to be disconnected before it can be removed. These connections may include plugs, wiring harnesses, and other components.
  5. Remove the mounting screws: The ECU is usually mounted to the vehicle with screws. Remove these screws to release the ECU from the mounting bracket.
  6. Remove the ECU: Once the screws are removed, the ECU should come out relatively easily. It may need to be lifted out over the junction block or other components.
  7. Remove the junction block: The junction block is mounted above the ECU and may be held in place with screws or clips. Once the ECU has been removed, the junction block should be easy to access and remove.
Note: It's important to follow the steps carefully and to be cautious when removing electrical components from a vehicle. If you're not confident in your abilities, consider hiring a professional mechanic to remove the ECU and junction block for you.

2003 Lexus ES300. The oil pressure light is on but oil level is OK.

Redi Hoxha The oil light only detects loss of pressure not oil level. Your oil pressure sensor or switch monitors oil pressure in your engine. It sends these signals to the ECU and to your oil pressure gauge or warning light. Swap out the oil pressure switch. As an aside, I worked in a place with artwork from a very accomplished Toronto artist who signed his artwork just 'HOXHA'. https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+lexus+es300+oil+pressure+switch+location ..

Oil light on engine work roughly

It is possible that the issue could be related to low oil pressure in the engine, as this can cause the engine to run roughly. I suggest having a qualified technician take a look at your engine to check the oil pressure and ensure that it is within the acceptable range. Additionally, they should be able to advise you on the best course of action and help you solve any other issues that may be causing the rough running.

2003 Lexus RX300 - Front Headlight - How to replace small round 3 inch light

The round bullseye light? I thought that is the daytime driving light but it's not, it is Main or Low beam. I read that the best way to remove those is to turn the wheel and remove the wheel well liner. It gives the best access in that corner. I asked the mechanic at the Lexus dealership because I told him it was hard to get to the lights because of the battery being in the way, and I read that tip. He said "yes it is the easier way".A trick for testing your lights is to park in a mall with a glass window in front of the car. You can go through the lighting options and see what is working.

1999 lexus gs300 wont start

What EXACTLY does it do when you turn the key? This will give clues as to where the problem could be. A slow sluggish crank suggests a low battery charge or an old weak battery. In general any battery over 5 years old is considered 'Old' especially if the vehicle is used a lot. Just spinning could be a Spark issue and spinning, catching and immediately stalling out could be a fuel supply problem. Comment below with more information and I'll try to help you more.
