Broken down Lexus Blues
Question: I own a 91 LS400 Went out for a drive the other night and the car just shut down witth no warning in the middle of the road. Started right back up, I drove it back home with no problem until I was in front of my home and it just shut down again, Let it sit over night and it started up with no problem went for a ride with no problems came home and parked it for a few hours and went to go somewhere and it wouldn't start. Cranks over good and strong and even acts like it wants to fire off but shuts right back down. I need to get it at least running to get it to the shop. Anyone out there have any thoughts on just what the problem might be. howlingwolf147@carolina.rr.com

I'll preface this comment by this disclaimer: I am no expert.
But it sounds like the car is not getting a consistent supply of fuel. Because of this, I would start by having the throttle body cleaned. It could also be your Idle Controller Valve.
Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in.
Best of luck.
