all dash warning lights came on while driving. oil light, brake light, coolant light, battery light. car continued to run. once home turned off and now wont start. warning lights still come on and car makes a clicking sound. 1991 lexus ls 400
Hatterasnc,
You're alternator has gone bad and the vehicle was running on battery power. The "clicking" sound is your now dead battery that does not have enough power to turn over the starter. You might also want to check your power steering pump for leak. This is a know problem with early LS400s and will most likey be the cause of the alternator failure. I just dropped $1050.00 to fix the very same promblems you have.

I have spark to all my spark plugs. I used injector test lights and wasable to confirm that my injectors are firing. I have checked the timingand it is correct. I have excellent fuel pressure. There are no errorcodes present.
When I crank the engine the engine might run fora fraction of a second. If I spray starter fluid in the intake the carwill run on the starter fluid.
If I disconnect the cam positionsensor(s) then the car won't even make an attempt to start. If I plugthem back in then the car will fire up but as soon as I let off the keythe engine dies.
I was going to swap out the MAF sensor but Itried starting another Lexus with the MAF unplugged and that onestarted fine. If I unplug mine it still doesn't start
The fuel pump relay operates correctly. Power is supplied to the fuel pump when the starter is engaged and will continue to run if the motor is "running" When you let off the key and the starter disengages the fuel pump will run until the engine stops moving
check the fuel filter or the air filter they may be clogged and check fuel pressure

greenlight flashing mean error in the system somewhere help if you can thank you god & god bless
If this light is flashing, there is a problem somewhere in your air suspension system. You can check to make sure its powered on in the trunk on the driver side. Behind the carpeting. This is a common issue with that particular year and model. The system tends to go bad righ around the 15 year old mark or so. Also if the light is flashing, the system is not working. Your just riding on the regular suspension.
Hope it helps

1990 lexus ls 400 security system went off now vehicle will not start. Keys open door turn alarm off but starter will not engage. What can I do?
Your alarm is keep your system from starting. When the alarm system fails, you have 1 of two choices, if it is a after market alarm then just disconnect the alarm, if it is a manufacture alarm then you will need to take it to a company to have then replace the alarm or disconnect it. Doing so yourself you can hurt your vehicle more then help it

Where is the 1990 Fuse Box location
there is a fuse box under the driver side dash near the pedals. you must first remove the protective cover from the outside and then you can see the fuse control panel.

My lexus ls 400 has no power but it is running. What's the problem.
The first thing to have checked is the fuel pressure, low pressure kills the power.
