might want to provide some more info like a sc400 or a sc300, things you have done to it, how many miles.
with what you have said first guess is fuel pump ecu has bit the dust.

I did the mod on the fuel pump control plug jumped the red and black wire with the green and that took care of the issue now it stars on point but the pump sounds different.

Thanks Ali the an electrical issue for sure it was the fuel pump cover that has the 8 8mm bolts that hold it against the gas tank it was not in place so it wasn't getting enough ground put it back drained the gas because this car has been sitting for 10 years, put new gas back in there turn the key it started right up now I need a working fuel pump control!!!!
