Car starts then dies immediately
I recently bought an 01 is300 that had a bad oil leak. Found the leak was coming from the cam cap right behind the vvti pulley. I removed the throttlebody assembly to gain access and reseal it. Once I put everything back together the car will only start for a few moments as it revs to 2k and dies. It doesnt matter what I do with regards to throttle it always does the same thing and dies. Ive checked resistances in both the two position sensors as well as the throttle motor and theyve been in spec.
Im not sure what to do next. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
