Like I said in your other thread as well...

The 400 doesn't have that. That is for the 300 only.

Why does the dealer has a listing with a part number showing this part?

I can tell you why Sewell just used a 'stock' picture for both models, however if you look at the list below (on the GS400 menu) that part is NOT listed, however if you look at it on the GS300 menu below, that part is there.

GS400

GS300

Because they didn't use a VIN or set the engine option. That part is only for the 300's. It tells you if a part is for one or for both so if someone told you that was it they didn't try hard enough. If you've already done plugs too, try moving around the good coils to other spots the see if the problem follows the coils.

tried switching the coils around already, all coils are showing the problem... do you think it could be the ECU?

What codes does it have?

If its all 8 then there are a few things i would check. First, I would hope it's just bad gas. Second, do plugs. Third, check the coils. If it's just one side of the engine (1,3,5,7) it could be VVT-i related. If it's all 8, you could also try swapping ECU's with a friend to check. If you swap ECU's to test you would also need their keys close to the ignition to get it to start.

O.K. I have check everything

Coil are good, installed in another gs and the worked fine
check my crank sensor and it read 2.2 ohms
check my cam sensor and it read 1.4 ohms
All new plugs

check my MAF meter and it read lower in ohms (specs) from what it says in the manual

If a MAF meter isn`t working would that cause the car not to have injector pluse and spark?

I have a 99 Gs400 ECU but I have to get one of my keys flashed to see what happens.

Any more suggestions?

I think you need to clarify exactly whats going on so someone can diagnose it for you.
