ok here is where i started:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=376603

Last night I replaced most all the fuses, and I replaced the spark plugs, so it finally started, there was water down where the spark plugs go, which was odd.

Anyway, now that it starts, it has a rough idle, the higher the RPM the smoother it sounds. At idle it is sort of shakey, sounds like it is too low (cant tell because guages arent working) and it also makes a squeeking/whining noise very faintly on some pulley.

I tried to go put the car in "D" but the tranny wont shift, so i pushed down the release with a screw driver, and when i press the gas, it starts moving the car, barely.. but if i turn the steering wheel the whining noise gets MUCH louder and kills the motor.

Also, brake pedal seems to not want to move at all, not going down but a half of an inch.

Any suggestions on what to tackle next? I was thinking TPS, EGR, Battery Terminal Cables, but im kind of confused about the brake and tranny situations.

let me know, and thanks for taking time to help me out!

 

Just went outside to check for any changes in its condition, cranked it.. ran it for a few mins. Got some light smoke, and on top of the power steering reservoir its leaking fluid.

 

Try and run the ECU codes (search for how to's). Most likely you still have something grounding out the spark. Verify that there is absolutely no more water in the spark plug galley/ change the plugs if needed. A brief history on the car will yield more info but sounds like someone might have tried to pressure wash the engine bay.
