billy hoang Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 its a 1993 lexus ls400 . i just did the brakes yesterday . rotors , pads and bled the lines. i think i might need to bleed the lines again though . brakes feels like mush . so the next day , i go to start the car and it doesnt turn on . all the elctrical turns on but the engine doesnt . so i connect a jumper box and it turns right on . i let it sit for about 10 minutes . cut it off .... same problem . does anyone have any idea what it might be ?

ED. Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Sounds fuel related to me. Maybe the fuel pump? Fuel pump relay (if Lexus has one. I know BMW does). Clogged fuel filter? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It is not fuel as it runs fine once started just has no power to restart. You seem to have either a loose battery cable or a bad battery. An alternator is a possibility but not the first if the car runs fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
