2000 Lexus Lx470 205k Miles
Hey y'all. I've been having an issue with my 100 series lately that I just cannot figure out. Couple days ago it would crank strong but not start, so I read forums and tried replacing 20amp fuel fuse under the hood and that seemed to fix it... for a bit. After that I left it for a couple days to replace the fuel filter just because I figured it was time it needed a new one. I know it has good fuel pressure because fuel was spewing out when I took the line out. Now its doing the same thing, crank no start but now it will start for a quick second or two then die. I've checked the 30amp ignition fuse and replaced it as well still no luck. I've ruled out the immobilizer with a spare key and don't see the red key thing next to the radio, I even swapped out the radio fuse because I had an extra one laying around. I've tried starting it with the truck in neutral but no luck. Weird thing is that it'll start right as I let off the ignition, it's like there is just the slightest sweet spot after turning the key right then moving it ever so slightly to the left, it'll start then when I let go it dies. This is leading me to believe it might just be a bad ignition switch. Is there anything else/ any further diagnostics I can do to rule out other things? Really stumped on this. thanks!
