Hi all -
I'd be deeply grateful for sage advice. After completing a head gasket replacement on my 1997 LX450, the engine turns over and sounds like it is about to start (machine gun sound) but never actually starts. It last started about five months ago. I've tried searching for similar issues so I have listed the symptoms below.
CEL ON
Fan turns slowly
New Diehard Gold Battery (tested)
New Denso Spark Plugs
Reman Sequoia alternator (photoman upgrade)
Reman Denso starter (tested)
Red Battery light on
Fuel comes out of fuel return line
Removing gas cap doesn't lead to any hissing sound (i failed to de-pressurize before beginning the HG job)
Throttle intake won't open so starter fluid doesn't help
I've also attached a photo and a video.
Any advice on where I should turn to next? Many, many thanks.
