i had the same issue two days back when i was on the road and the car just died, i didn't even noticed except when i placed my foot on the accelerator and felt that its not responsive. i took it to a car workshop and it turns out it was the "Fuel pressure sensor" however it wasn't just that, on top of the sensor it created an electric short that damaged the "ECU" luckily wasn't major and that also had to be fixed. i paid 200$ to fix it. i gotta mention your video made all the difference thanks a lot.

[@shermandeeking4713]

My car has the same issues it takes gas when it wants and sometimes it will just drive slow and won't pick up the gas.i brought it to a garage many times but the person said they don't see anything wrong.

lmfao that's so funny I ordered one from longo Lexus last Wednesday 11/8/23 and it was like 195. They been lagging it and I had to call them today (monday) and threatened to cancel if they don't ship it and their excuse was "we been behind with online orders" but he said he will ship it out right now and then I got shipping info today after that call lol. If anyone wants good price one in Midwest Orland Lexus in Illinois has them in case for faster shipping.

@@edward1927 I saw another YT video; which suggested unplugging the fuel pressure sensor to get the car started. The car is supposed to run but poorly ... because there is no fuel pressure sensor. If your car doesn't even start with the sensor unplugged, you might have a different problem than the sensor.

When you had issue would the car just lose all power to everything when you hit the ignition?

[@MsHooper101]

dont actually remember the details of symptom, but go through this thread for the answer, i do remember that this guy was dead on !! solved the problem, and made the diag easy, and also that the fix did not seem likely, sensor on back of engine below intake level, wasnt hard to get at, just swap it if in doubt.

[@stephencetnarowski244]

I tried what he did and it changes nothing. I hit start when it's green and it kills power to whole car. Have to unhook battery for like 2 secs and it goes right back to when I was about to press the button to start

[@dtnel]

IS this relevant to the 2010 RX350 vehicles as they went to jump start it, car had been on used car lot from Auction for about a month then they went to jump start as mentioned above. Replaced 4-5 fuses in underhood fuse box and have to go back to check fuse panel under the dash as still have no comm on the dongle scan tool but able to pull codes using a wired scan tool but alot of active & also history codes for "lost comm" or "no comm" on alot of modules. I've identified one potential fuse under dash I need to check. Also there's a aftermarket valet switch for a aftermarket remote start system that's installed but they said the car fired every time prior to this. I'm thinking with so many blown fuses that they potentially hooked up jump box cables backwards or it has the issue in this video. LMK your thoughts in regards to if this vehicle has this known issue with the fuel pressure issue that could be causing no crank no start and the no comm issues.

Great video/diag Oz. Definitely an interesting one. Haven’t ran into one as of yet. No comms can definitely get interesting. Thanks for sharing. I’d have to look at the diagram. But you mentioned you had good power and grounds. Good comm coming into the PCM but nothing coming out. Would’ve been great to see some captures.

[@OzMechanics]

Yea unfortunately on this one i only taped the end. Shop was packed that day

[@PaulOneel]

I have a question. If you went as far as testing power and grounds why didn’t you just check 5v reference? Just trying to learn not acting like I know everything just questioning. Seems like it was guess work/ experience that found that and not necessarily diag. Don’t mean that rude but over internet is difficult to explain. Lol

[@OzMechanics]

I always start by verifying we have good powers and grounds then we verify our 5 volts. Start from the roots and branch outwards. And it’s all good brother thanks for stopping by and watching

And remember I added that off camera I tested the can line going in to the pcm and out. We had activity going in but none going out
