Are you sure you have a spark on ALL cylinders? there are two coils on the LS400 one at the front of the engine and one on the driver's side of the engine opposite the battery tray, this one has caused problems before.
Another symptom is the cats glowing red hot when the engine has been running like this for a while.

Also is the timing belt OK not slipped a few teeth?
