Default 02 lexus es300 ISSUES

Hey guys, so today im at a stop light the light turns green i hit the gas and the car doesnt move. When my key enters the ignition a buzzing noise is now heard from the engine. I pull over etc etc get towed home. I read on the internet that with the situation im in i should clean the throttle body and or the air intake valve. I bought throttle body cleaner and used it on the butterfly throttle. The car hesitates but does end up starting after the cleaning. My check engine, vsc, and trac off lights were on so i disconnected the negative terminal on the battery and let it sit for awhile. After reconnecting, she wont start and im having electrical problems such has sunroof movement hesitation and when i use my lock button on the key a continous beeping noise occurs until i shut my doors. If you guys have ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS please feel free to give advice. Thankyou

I wonder if the stater solenoid is locked on / failed. That would explain the buzzing sound, and the failure to start. It might also explain why it stalled out, if the starter was running while you were driving. just a thought.

Sounds like it wasn't well maintained. The issues you mentioned aren't electrical problems. When you reset the system, such as by a dead battery, the sunroof needs re calibrated. Also the alarm noise will sound if you doors are not closed when you are trying to unlock the car.

How do you go about recalibrating my sunroof, I was wondering why it wasn't working when I turn the key in the door anymore
