2002 Lexus LX 470. Crank but no start, I've changed the battery and spark plugs and ignition coils and it still will not turn over. I need help please.

You say 'Crank, no start', but you also say 'it will not turn over'. They are the same thing, if it cranks, it is turning over, but not 'firing' or 'starting'. After you disconnected the battery, did you reset the Security System and Engine Immobilizer? You know it has one, that flashing light on the dash? Some ideas here https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+Lexus+LX+470.+Crank+but+no+start Anti-theft Reset https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+lexus+lx+470+reset+security+system If that doesn't fix it, an auto electrician with a $5,000 professional grade Autel scan tool will be able to diagnose the entire car in 30 minutes.

How Labor intensive is it to replace the drivers side lower control arm? I had a shop tell me that the engine has to be removed, and 15 hours of labor are involved

I what to make sure this is correct, this is a 2004 lexus rx 330 and the shop said it was 15 hours to replace the lower control arm. This sounds crazy but it is ture, the engine and trans must be removed to replace the lower control arm, i would replace them both as the labor is only 1/2 hour more to do both,and it inculde an alignment in that time also. its a dumb design. hope this helps good day.

2001 Lexus IS300. If my ECU actually provided codes to obd2 scanner, can the ECU still be bad?

Yes, it is possible for the ECU to be bad even if it is still providing codes to the OBD2 scanner. The ECU is a complex electronic device and it is possible for one or more of its internal components to fail without affecting its ability to communicate with the OBD2 scanner. In your case, the fact that the codes went away after replacing the #35 fuse and the IAC motor suggests that those were the underlying problems causing the "crank but no start" condition. However, the fact that the car still won't start after those repairs indicates that there is another problem, and it is possible that the ECU is at fault. To be sure, you would need to take the car to a qualified mechanic and have them perform a more thorough diagnosis. The mechanic may be able to test the ECU to see if it is functioning properly. If the ECU is found to be bad, it will need to be replaced. Here are some other possible causes of the "crank but no start" condition in your Lexus IS300: Faulty fuel pump Faulty spark plugs Faulty ignition coil Faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor Low compression in one or more cylinders Clogged fuel filter Restriction in the air intake system If the mechanic is unable to find any other problems, then the ECU may indeed be the culprit. However, it is important to rule out all other possibilities before replacing the ECU, as it can be a costly repair.

1996 lexus es 300. The transmission just stops pulling while driving down the road.

the fluid must never be over filled as most do. if was that caused foam up of the ATF and bearings are destroyed.
  • hot engine
  • hood up.
  • in park at normal idle speed, running.
  • dipstick reads L >>>x<<<<H
the x must never be above or at high. hi is for when it over heats the users guide tells what to do , do not guess. or BOOM what you are doing is 100%wrong ,full stop .(adding ATF blind) assumes adding blind, or wrongly. yes lots of things possible there are like 10 on cars tests. all good shops know what to do. not pulling means RPM cream high like neutral for Drive. or stuck a lower gear. as in not upshifting scan the TCM for errors is next. if losing quart of ATF per day the car must not be driven or wreck the box you will, or far far worse. make the core useless. rebuilt tranny needs good core. do if you feel tranny clutch packs slip do not make them slip more or they burn up. stops pulling means what, false neutral or fails to up shift a bad shift solenoid can that.

Where is the location of the fuel pump relay for 2004 Lexus RX330?

does it start with 5%(a tad) right foot throttle pressed? is the IP cluster, IMMO lamp happy? (immobilizer)????? check all fused first? NOT RELAYS. check spark first if engine itself tests good. the classic way for 100 years a test spark plug used. if spark is good then spray test fuel works.? FOR 3seconds if that works, then fueling is bad. (no start) the knock sensor does not kill spark. (it fine tunes spark timing only and only if the engine pings going fast. then scan the pCM OBD2 port for DTC errors. check fuel pressure, at the rail. ok dead fuel pressure. fuel pump relay is called on this car AS EFI MAIN relay HORN RELAY SAME (SWAPS) if the PCM detects spark bad it cuts fuel dead. to prevent crash and burn as see on TV.. the crash sensor also trips the pump off line. page 553 users man FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF SYSTEM The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the ignition switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" once and start it. https://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/8368-how-do-i-access-the-rx330-fuel-pump/

Hi, I need help with Error code P2121 On a 2006 Lexus IS250.

Some throttle pedals when they are replaced need to be calibrated to the vehicle so the electronics understands were the new pedal is for each position as you use the pedal. This is often done using an OBD2 diagnostic system. If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different.
