I see where Bullet claims 35% increase on the HP, so putting a non-VVTi in the low 300HP range? Can anyone verify their claims? My 2000 is in really great shape, I'm irrational enough to do this.

Have you done the tap tap on the EFI fuse? It sounds like the engine is cranking, correct? Just no start? I was able to prove the EFI fuse (the big dog) was an issue by removing it and installing a temporary jumper. I actually made my "loop" pretty big, ran it into the car and turned the...

Ok. But it being VVTi doesn't change the fact that if the TB broke it wouldn't "seize"? If it was a fuel problem then wouldn't the thing still crank? In that scenario you are saying that I would have to have had the starter and something in the fuel system take a dump at exactly the same...

He clarified that he was in reverse when the engine shut off. Put it in park, it restarted, went about 15 ft. as he was pushing the accelerator much more than he should have had to in order to get any RPMs.

This is not on my 2000 LC, this is my son's 2008 GX, it has VVTi - does that change anything in regard to the symptoms being inconsistent with a broken belt?

Yes, it's under the hood. Engine lost power when it was running. Starter - thinking not, as it lost power when it was running, started, then cut-off again Battery - Good, checked at autozone. Assuming they checked draw and voltage, my son took it in Grounds - The ones on top all look good, I...

Did you happen to sort this out? I'm having a no start with single click. Thing died while idling, restarted, died again. Battery is good. Sounds like you were having a different problem though?

Good afternoon gentlemen, was hoping to get a little help with our GX 470. Son was idling in the driveway, thing just cut-off. Gas was low, but not empty. Started back up, he pushed the accelerator, nothing happened, died. Now it won't start at all. Turn the key and it gives a single...

Got this bypass last fall. No issues whatsoever of course. Yea, you can pull the box, repair it, or get a new one, but for me this was ideal given the cost/time between the two options. Dude shipped it pronto. Highly recommend.

Looking at a 2015 LX570. They don’t want to budge off 34,250 plus their $995 dealer fee. 78K, no rust, interior basically flawless, everything works. Regularly dealer serviced through about 62K. Exterior condition very good overall, a few deeper scratches and a decent ding. Wheels are...

Please let me know if you have one or have a lead on one. Thanks!!

Bypass ordered, but couldn’t help myself…..jumper from F to battery, switched to stop the draw when off. 😂

Thanks!

So what did your repair entail, just tightening up the receptacles (or whatever they are called) that the blades of the EFI relay go into?

Thx for your reply. I’ve got pretty high confidence in the “fix” cause basically it looks like we’re making new connections without paying $500 for a new box. Was curious about going direct to battery from the F terminal. Is this just intended to be an emergency kinda thing or am I ok letting...
