Doesn't work..ideas?
Got my new key to program the remote open close doors / trunk...but NOT THE START!!!.
Go through the steps...but the last one..insert new key for 60 seconds and the blinking light stops..
That doesn't work...the blinking light never goes off.
Tried for over three minutes ... blinking never stops.
Ideas?

Waited over 3 minutes
The thing is...I got the door / trunk / lock unlock to program...
I only have one key....how to tell if it is a 'master'?

Also, is it grey in color with a Lexus logo? Usually that's a valet key.

See if you can find someone with Techstream or get one of the cables from ebay. They are very cheap and commonly come with a back up of the software.
One thing I am wondering is, how would we know if there is a problem with the ECU registering the pedal presses?
What if the ECU cannot tell I floored the gas at all?

The immobilizer and remote fob are totally separate items. You would not want your immobilizer to stop working if your battery died.

If your remote battery dies, the immobilizer is not affected whatsoever.
Your statement only applies to the smart keys in the 3rd gen or later. And even then, all you need to do is place the key right next to the start button on the ignition to start the car.
All stock 2nd Gen GS have ETCS. Electronic Throttle Control. If you start your car, push the pedal down, and engine speed does not rev up at all then you likely have a defective Accelerator pedal position sensor.

What do you mean by the first part? The immobilizer is a NFC device. As long as it is within range of the receiver, you can start the car with a dumb metal key.
Maybe you misunderstood my comment in the first place. I was just explaining that the functions he programmed could be tied to the remote fob and not the immobilizer. That is why he was successful with those and not the starter.

I know the second part, I was just wondering why the process was not working. NOW I wonder why the pedal process did not work but TS did. Was it something I was doing wrong or something wrong with the car. I do not know how particular the system is.

I think I understand what you were saying now. You were explaining to him that it would be a bad design if immobilizer stops functioning when battery dies.

That, and I was implying that even though he got the buttons programmed, that may not have been relevant.
