kbeckle Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello, The starter solenoid on my '97 LX450 started acting up (intermittent starting). I disconnected the ground on the battery, removed the starter, and had it rebuilt. I then installed the starter, reconnected the ground, and tried to start it. It turns over, but will not fire. I have checked all leads that I may have inadvertently knocked loose, and all fuses. All check out. I called a Lexus dealer and talked to a service tech. Although very helpful, he could shed no light on what the problem is. The security light on the dash does NOT blink, although I'm not positive it was blinking before removing the starter. I'm wondering if having the battery disconnected for approximately 48 hrs has anything to do with the problem, i.e., does the immobilizer have to be retaught, such as when a new key is inserted? Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the engine cranking normal and just not turning over? Or is it just clicking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougjohn2 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 EFI fuse? EFI relay? both would cause the same symtoms. disconnecting the battery for a couple days wouldn't have any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
