Confirmed. The power wire on the cam sensor was between the head and the rear plastic guard. Got under there when putting the outer guard on and slipped between them, pinched a hole and would shut off the ECU, so no crank or engine kill without generating a code.

Finally had the LX brought to the dealer and after 2 hours they state that one of the wires to the camshaft postion sensor is damaged. Seems that if the power supply wire to the CPS is damaged the ECU will shut all engine functions down (but not generate a CEL?), but damage to the another wire...

The left bank spark plugs ae under a rather large wire bundle, and part of this appears to go back to the starter area. I will deep dive into this first. Nothing was touched in the ignition switch area and when it does start, I can start it 5 or more times in a row without fail. Seems when it...

Will check out the grounding. The charging wire was removed for the timing belt change, but no grounds. A bad crank position sensor would explain the abrupt engine stop, but that does not explain why it would not crank to restart, unless it sets a code without setting the check engine light...

If it was only no crank then I would look at the starter. But it sheets down abruptly, then no crank. This is not logical for either the starter or the cam sensor. Is the oil pressure sending unit tied to a no crank scenario?

Challenge - LX shuts off and no restart Performed the 90K service, timing belt, water pump, valve lash, spark plugs, other checks. I've changed plenty of TB and a few on a LC as well. The LX470, 2006, fired right up and settled into a smooth idle. It did present the VGRS light but I suspect...
