es 300 stalling???
I have a 94 es 300 v6. The car starts and runs fine for awhile then stalls out? I have replaced all the O2 sensors and the fuel pump. I have replaced the igniter and cleaned all the injectors. I recently took the car to my mechanic and we found the igniter I purchased from O reilys auto parts was defective. After replacing it again the car seemed to be ok. After driving for about 20 miles the car just died and would not start. Does anyone have a suggestion? The car is driving me nuts and puting a hurt on the wallet but i really love this car? Thanks for any help I can get !!! Oh I also forgot to mention one thing the car has no check engine light on and shows no error code.

What do you mean the car runs fine for a while, then stalls out? What is a while? 10 secs, 10 minutes? Remember a car needs 3 things to run, spark, air and fuel. If its not an electric problem, is it possibly the Idle Air Control Valve?
Its really hard to guess what your problem is, you started replacing alot of parts without even knowing what the problem trully was.
When you say the car would not start, would it not crank up and start at all? Or, does it start normally and instantly die? Its like the engine will die, if it is not gassed to keep the RPMs up?

PO may have removed the CL bulb. It happens allot.
Borrow a Code Reader or ask Autozone to get a reading off the code reader connector. I bet you have codes it she stalls, that is pretty SOP.
Take a look at the Fuel Pressure Regulator for a leak.

es 300 stalling update
Hey thanks for the comments. We finally found the problem. We found a short in the wires that go to the fuel injectors. It seems someone had mangled the wires under the plastic engine cover. so with a couple little wire splices and some soder so far so good no more stalling problems. Just need to replace an egr valve and we are good to go. On the flip side of this mess I learned alot about where new problems can occur and possible solutions. I will check in often to see If I can lend a helping hand to the next guy. Thanks Club Lexus !!!!!
