Gonna report the fault when they got it.

Thanx for your help.
What was the issue? I'm having the same exact problem on my 99 GS400. Please help me, I couldn't believe that I found a forum explaining the same problem, but there's no answer, you never said what you did or eat the Mechanic did.

He hasn't been active since 1-13. Wish we'd found out because this may help others with similar symptoms.

Some people don't come back and we have no idea what was the cause of the problem. Root causes below are what I know or experienced about no start issues.
1, Immobilizer
2, Sensors
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...fuel-pump.html
3, NSS
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...not-start.html
4, Timing belt

Sensors can be mostly detected reading codes but others can't be.
Regarding 1 and 4, many people are reporting. You'd find how they found and fixed the problem searching the Forum.
The immobilizer issue can be confirmed by the blink/stop of the LED.
