Starting problem please help!! Vids inside
Okay folks,
I have fixed about 50 little gremlins with this car in the past few months. The (hopefully) last one that plagues me is that the car won't start in the morning. EVER. Come home in the afternoon for work, BAM starts right up. I though it was some security thing because when the car starts it drives just fine (now). No stutter, no hesitation, doesn't overheat etc. This car has new;
Plugs/wires
Distributor rotor
ECU (still thinking this may be the cause but not sure)
Fuel pressure reg
Has good fuel in it (1/2 tank but the amount never seems to effect it)
Links to the Videos of the start and not starting. There is one F bomb in the second video so pardon that.

Try turning it on with the maf disconnected, reset your ecu, do the 12v fuel ecu mod.
Are you sure its not the lexus antitheft killing the starter? Do you always unlock the door with the keys. Not the remote unlock.
