Problem overview

Some Lexus GS300 owners report experiencing issues where the engine turns over but does not start, often due to a dead battery, alternator problems, or a failed starter. Additionally, faulty engine spark plugs, electrical issues stemming from a faulty ground connection, or a damaged starter relay can also prevent the vehicle from starting. In some cases, owners have been informed that a bad oil pump might be the culprit after a mechanic's inspection. Furthermore, issues with the fuel pressure sensor located at the back of the engine may hinder the starter from turning over. It is advisable for owners facing this problem to investigate these potential causes to effectively diagnose and resolve the issue.
