so i just got this problem....

this is the deal, i have an alarm on the car.. which was removed to verify that wasn't the alarm causin' the problem....
so that was NO NO

Battery just replaced so full constant power...

ONe thing that i noticed its this, that i thought i could be my ignition switch, i did get it to start couple of times but then never again....
when i wiggled the key inside the ignition THE CHECK engine light will come on..and perfect it will start....
Now im still trying to wiggle the damn key and can't get the check engine light to come back up....
See its weird cause i know well i don't think the Xb has a chip on the key...but to tell you the truth....when the check engine came on....you surely can start..it..
has anyone had this problem before....

Please if anyone has any idea please share....

fuse?
starter?

 

Chip in the key? These are economy cars not a Lexus.

Does the radio come on when you turn it to accessory?

 

Alright heres what you do. Will the car crank or not? If the car will not crank then check for power at the fuse then at the relay. If the car is cranking but won't start then pull your engine cover off and pull out one coil about half way with a pair of insulated plyers, be sure not to ground yourself to the vehicle when you pull it off. You will hear the spark jumping and clicking if it has spark. If it has spark then move on to fuel. Set a plastic tipped screw driver on the injector and listen for it to click. Let me know more symptoms and I will diagnose it for you. feel free to pm me if you need.

 

hum lets us know what ya find ...

 

Can you have it towed to a shop to get it diagnosed? Hopefully these guys here can help find the problem but if you need the car running fast, you might want to consult a pro.
