Crank position sensor was really dirty, it starts perfectly now, but could that be going?

Still unsure as to what the problem is, but there is a 3/4 tank of gas in the car, so it's somewhere in-between the tank and the engine.

I'll restate that the car was having a few problems starting with a bit of blue smoke for two or three days before this incident. As the lexus isn't really my daily driver any more, it didn't get used too much and then the last time I tried to start, it cranked for a while, but now nothing, just...

It's nice now, so i'll start my checks. it's up at a garage, but they aren't gonna take a look at it till later today, so that gives me time to have a look and maybe take it back without paying anything (friend's shop).

Still not home, still pouring with rain (times like this i really do hate this side of the country). I tried to disconnect the battery, left it off for 10min, and still nothing. I don't hear the fuel pump doing anything, so that's what I personally think it is. there's too much rain and I have...

It's pouring with rain, it and I aren't at home, I'm just wishing for forum magic.

I'll add when it was running though it ran normally. It wa just at startup.

Well, I got the hole in my exhaust welded shut but now my car won't start. It had some problems starting right after I collected it, they claimed it was like that when I dropped it off, it wasn't but it did have blue exhaust on start up. It still cranks perfectly and eveen if I pump the gas, it...

I've been doing some reading here and am now curious as to how much suction you all get out of your fuel tank when unscrewing the cap to refuel. I think I may need to check my valves because i get some serious suction.

I cant fathom that type of power in a car... I'd love to just touch it!

I bought it and neither had I. To be honest I had no idea what I was getting into, but i can crank it and shake houses around me. This car is also solid enough that it doesn't vibrate like crazy, this is a good car to put a system in. Between the stereo here and the german V12s god only knows...

No mistake Nope I meant 5k watts. I have a 180amp alternator and big caps to keep the car from dieing when the bass kicks. I've changed all the internal speakers as well so the entire system is new from the ground up. It's over the top powerful to be honest, but oh so intense.

Thanks guys! I love her!

TOO funny, what a great video!

By north american standards, that's a lot of money for the car. In Canada you can find early 2000 SC430's in the 20k CAD range with full service history and around 100,000 KM on the clock

At least the 1FZ is still big! :] And good luck with the new project!

Here's a finished picture, i'll throw up some of the interior soon with the 5000watt RMS kicker and pioneer system, i know it's all old news now, but i'm having fun with the pictures

In my honest opinion, the only car which may have a better sound is the Lamborghini Coutach... it really does sound that good!

Gotta love when people sell a car with a broken starter, gets you just the greatest deal! Clean looking car my friend. Get a picture of the sun roof, but I imagine that if it has all the OEM controls in the proper place, odds are it's not after-market. Adding a doubleDIN stereo to these car's...

the 8 series is the most fun thing in the friggen' world. It sounds better than anything else! This is the longest spread of time i'd gone without driving the Lexus, but getting back in, you forget how nice everything about it is. The LS is still one of the best cars on the road, respect to...
