I have been running with a 25 amp fuse in place of the 20 amp fuse for my EFI for a month now with no problems.

I shall one up you, I am using the 30, but the culprit of my problems was the configuration of the Yaesu 2m radio.
 
Well said, so you can replace that over priced main relay- fuse box, leave your valet key in the ignition or you could make a custom jumper device to put in place of the EFI fuse and have no further plomlems as others have.
Been following along with a couple of the "turn over but no start threads", mine just recently started doing the same thing. I know this might be completely ignorant but Im confused as to how to install the "jumper wire." Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks in advance

Sorry haven't been around. I used a peice 14 gauge solid core wire about 3/4 of a inch long, removed about 3/16 of the shielding off each end then bent it into a u shape hammered the ends flat and use it like a fuse.
 
My fix is to put the key in the ignition, turn it to on but not all the way to try and start it, just enough for the radio, etc to work. Then walk away for 5-15 minutes. When you come back, it will start. Has worked for me 3 times now. No idea exactly why, and you can sit there and wait for the security light to stop blinking also, then it will start. :) Good luck!!
 
SO it happened again today...leaving the boys' football games, and it just cranked. I could see the red security icon blinking. I just left the key in and 5 minutes later the icon stopped blinking, and it started right up. Still not sure what the perm fix will be....but good to know the trick still works...
 
I just bought a 2000 LC. The master key fob would unlock the doors remotely, but the key worked manually. I took the battery and electronics out to replace it. With the fob taken apart, vehicle would turn over but not start. I tried the valet key and it would not work either. I immediately thought oh no....fuel pump. I read this thread, put the guts back in the master fob including the old battery and with initial hesitation the LC started. I waited fifteen minutes and tried it again. The LC started immediately. I'm about to go to the store to buy a new battery for the master. I hope that is all there is to it. BTW, this is my first LC and I am loving it! I am looking forward to participating in this forum.
