Lexus Repair: 2000 LEXUS ES300, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position

Question
CAR RUNS WELL. SOMETIME WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, IT WILL NOT RESTART. IT SPINS BUT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE IT IS GETTING GAS. I CAN ONLY GET IT TO START AGAIN BY DISCONECTING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITING A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN RECONNECT IT. . WHAT COULD BE CAUSE OF THIS ? FUEL PUMP OR COMPUTER

Answer
MOST LIKELY NEITHER. TOYOTA COMPUTERS DO NOT FAIL... EVER... (UNLESS YOU OWN A PRIUS, BUT THAT'S A RE-CALL LoL!)


Check the fuel pressure @ the fuel rail 5 minutes after you stop the engine. It should maintain 25psi.
Check that the computer is pick-ing up the NE+ (crankshaft position sensor) & G1 G2 (Camshaft position sensors) sensors so it knows what's going on.


Scan the thing to see if it has stored any codes in the past that have been put in memory.
