My GS400 Won't start
I started my GS400 and it ran for about a second or two and then cut off. Now it won't start. Sound as if it is turning over, but not sure. I had the timing belt, tentioners and water pump done a year ago by a former Lexus Master mechanic. I called him and he says he does not think its the belt. I also have a Subaru that did the exact same thing and sounded the same, and it was the belt. Now I'm pulling heads on that. It was an interference engine. Does anybody have any other ideas other than timing belt. I can't get it to my Lexus guy for another week. His shop is full.
Thanks
Thanks

Fuel. Spark. Air. Timing.
One of those 4 is malfunctioning. They're all relatively easy to check for. Though, I'd lean heavily towards fuel or timing based on your description of the issue.
Do you have any MIL codes? An OBD-II scanner would come in handy and may tell you what's up.

The only code is a bank sensor code. Thats been on for a while. All I do is disconnect the battery cable for 10 mins and the code clears for about a month. Mechanic told me not to try to start it again, just incase it is the timimg, because it is an interference engine.
