Its been a few days since I found the issue and the LC is happily motoring around without a hiccup! .. I am VERY confident at this point the issue is resolved. Thanks to everyone for the assistance and recommendations. I will keep updated

Yup your prob right! Which is why i tend to do most of my work myself but sometimes I just have them do the things I dont have time for... may have cost me some time, money and frustration for sure this time!

Phewwww.. I think I may have actually found and fixed it for sure this time! I had previously checked the sensor, but did not pull the entire harness out from where it was routed until today. It was routed incorrectly behind the lower pully and wore through the shielding and the wires. I...

OK I think I have FINALLY figured out the issue. I went out and took the "new" Crank sensor and examined the harness... turns out whoever messed with the sensor last, prob the shop i took it to for the sensor routed it behind the lower pully and it has rubbed through the wires.. AT least i...

WELP... Just drove it for about 45 miles mostly without issue. One little skip which felt like a mis fire and then on the way home it did what it normally does after about 45-60 miles of driving. This time it was ONE major Skip, shudder, while traveling about 55mph on flat smooth road, but this...

@abuck99 Thanks, I did exactly that during this whole process. I cleaned it with some maf cleaner and disconnected the battery also. I just ordered a new maf so we will see how it goes. I welcome any and all recomendations!!

Also when the LC is running fine it does not throw any codes. But when it starts to miss etc it will throw several random codes. Including Misc miss fire codes.

I did take out the MAF and clean it. It looked fine but i guess it cannot hurt to replace it. At this point Ill try anything and willing to throw money at it to an extent.

Ok Everyone long time lurker and first time poster. I have owned a few LCs and 5 Gen 3 4runners and NONE have given me the hard time that my Current 2003 LC is giving me. Vehicle: 2003 LC 189k miles Blue on Tan and in fantastic shape. Its a Cali and now Hawaii car and has had regular...
