James, sorry I couldn't get to this earlier, I usually zone out on the weekends...

To test the Crank Position Sensor, just ohm it out, it has 2 pins


Cold 1630-2740 ohms
Hot 2065-3225 ohms

Obviously you'll be checking for the cold indication. Since you already ordered a new one, check that one so you can see what you should be getting on the one that's installed.

James to save you time and effort, just bring it to the lexus dealership bro, just pay the diagnosis fee (depending on the dealership its anywhere from 85-130 bucks) Let them find out whats wrong then take it back and you fix it bro..


Just my .02 cents, because i want to see this car up with the new wheels already!!

James, the cam angle sensor should read 835-1400 ohms cold, 1060-1645 ohms hot
