PROBLEM SOLVED!!! :D Finally after 6 months without my favorite ca in the world, a trusty mechanic in new york told us that the OEM timing belt that another mechanic installed was bad. After further investigation, the engine was wildly out of time. So onward to replace the timing belt and tensioners. It is now idling at 650rpm, and it pulled a camshaft sensor code, we replaced them. Thanks to all who have helped me through this crazy experience!

tried it doesnt work

My Lexus will start then dies within a few seconds. Code scanner is not pulling any codes, fuel pressure device is pulling 40psi. I installed a new battery 2 days ago, I've checked wiring, fuses etc and need some different feedback please. Car was idling a little fast, distributor caps, timing belt, water pump, condenser, radiator, valve covers, engine mounts, spark plugs, power steering pump were all replaced. One day as I was going to school, the car traveled over a series of speed bumps. On the last speed bump, the car made a series of knocking noises, three warning lights came on, and the car died. It would start, but immediately die.. So far in the past 3 months no mechanic in town has been able to diagnose the problem.

I'd like to note that the car was idling a bit too fast, I will try the TPS replacement and look for a ground wire schematic

we checked the voltage and tried everything everyone here said, with no avail hope is not lost :)
-
The spark plugs and ingintion coils were replaced, but I havent tried the STarting fluid , i will attempt it soon, and report back

So Sorry i meant it dies right when you give it just the minimal amount of gas

The car doesnt rev at all, it dies with no load

So I as driving along to school one day, and after I passed over a bump, my 1996 LS400 died on me. We checked the fuel pressure and it was normal. After going over the bump, the car would not start. The distributor caps are brand new, the spark plugs are brand new as well. We replaced the fuel pump ecu capacitors with no avail. We tested the ecu in another ls400 and the car started and worked perfectly. Now the car will not accelerate , but it idles. Im open for discussion. p.s it has 201000 miles
