You will have to get in touch with the techs who installed the breathalyzer. It probably works like a burglar alarm. If it feels you are tampering with the car, it will immobilize the engine. Like a burglar alarm, when power is disconnected, the engine immobilizer kicks on.

They're both sayin its on the other end. The system has made it so fuel isn't even entering pump.

So what your saying is, it will crank, but no fuel is being delivered? First check fuses and relays.Check your owners manual. There is a fuel pump shut off switch. You have to do some steps in order for the car to run again. Look under Fuel Pump Shut Off System. Is your security light flashing on your dash by chance? If it is, it's not recognizing your key. It also means that there is no fuel from the pump. Here is a site with some good info about how it works. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/es300-and-es330/660729-1995- es300-fuel-pump-only-powers-when-cranking-please-advise.html

I had my airbags replaced and the entire dash board of my car replaced. When I put my car in the shop there was nothing wrong with my car before I put it in the shop. Now in less then a week after getting my car out of the shop my VSC light and check engine light came on and will not go off. Does the repairs have anything to do with these lights coming on? In addition, when I got my car back my gas cap and trunk would not open using the button inside the car. 1 Answer
