Update: The problem is solved. Again something completely random. Looks like one of the wires carrying current from the ignition to the "HTR" heater relay port was dead, so we took it to an Indy shop and the guy there just tapped light from a cartridge fuse port to the HTR relay port and the...

This thread is a direct spinoff from this thread; I noticed the fan stopped working after this "fix" to the issue of the thread was carried out. Not sure if that "fix" is the direct cause but it's the only change on the car before this happened. Doesn't really mean much but good to point out I...

Update: Well I guess the problem has been solved; car went over 60 kilometers without missing a beat. For some unknown reason the front fan blower refuses to work. The rear blower works and the A/C is spot on but the blower in front isn't working. There was some condensation/water around the...

Codes have been cleared but I haven't gotten around to reading them. Past few days been hectic. Today we went on another foolhardy adventure and got stuck on the road again. However, we either lucked out massively or my dad chanced upon the solution. We bought some starter relays (albeit used...

Another update. The saga continues. The car magically started today. I guess it's worth noting that the EFI and STARTER relays were removed for the whole of last night and are (apparently) 100% working (tested the relays by connecting them to a battery and they click every time). Got some...

Okay, another update. I can't check the Engine ECU via techstream since the car won't start so I just went to the Repair Manual and on Page DI-34 under "Engine does not crank (Does not start)", the suspected areas were listed as Starter, Starter relay, and Park/neutral position switch. No clue...

Nah, petrol.

Checked the EFI fuse (fuse 21 under the hood according to the user manual) and it looked good. Contact wasn't broken and it didn't look colored or anything. It's also worth noting that I don't get any crank at all. No crank, no start. Turn the key in the ignition and a few clicks can be heard...

Just took a look at it, one of the pins looks like it has some brown coloration at the base (on the plastic) but it doesn't look so bad. There's audible clicking when the key is turned in the car (right before the car refuses to even crank), but I'm not sure which exact relay is working and...

Update: I checked the MAF Sensor and it isn't throwing any codes in Techstream and appears to be functioning well. Last night, I was coming home and the car started acting up again, slowing to a stop and the car cuts off, push it onto the side of the road, wait about an hour, engine cools down...

Yes, this is a 2UZ-FE but it is Europe spec (dash is in kilometers only, and running the VIN shows it's for General/Europe market). And no, there is no CEL or MIL (check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp respectively right?). The check engine light works (as evidenced by the dash...

Lol yeah, we made it back. Got the car towed back home. Pretty sure it was the starter. If it was the timing belt it should still crank apparently. After struggling to get all the way home, the car started up after (I suppose) the starter cooled down a bit. Guess a starter and timing belt are in...

2004 LX470 Was going out on a trip and the car abruptly stopped while I was slowing down for a speed bump. Car refuses to start. Oil level and pressure is ok. Coolant is ok, no overheating. Battery is at 14 volts. Two nights ago it did this but the the three times that it did (engine shuts off...

So for the past few months (since circa February), the rear right (passenger side) tire has been giving me massive grief. Unbeknownst to me, two of the four clips (the ones that sit between the caliper and the brake pad) that hold the brake pad in place and prevent them from falling out when...

The part number is 85381-12060 for both nozzles.
