Sounds to me like the fuel pressure sensor may be the culprit. Unplug it and see if the car starts, you may need to click the start button twice. If it does start, you'll have to replace it.

Just a btw, it needs to be changed if it's going to be driven, can't drive it around like that unplugged. You can find it on eBay for $25, give or take. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Pressure-Sensor-89458-30010-For-Lexus-IS250-IS350-GS300-GS430-New/163021979878?fits=Model%3AIS250&hash=item25f4de00e6:g:QEcAAOSwdbZa4ZEU&vxp=mtr I would also change the sensor's crush gasket too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-90430...tatK9S&vxp=mtr

No I didn't unplug anything else. So my problem may be different. The car just cranks I don't get any sputtering or anything. I still think its fuel realated. Maybe its the fuel pump. Is there anywhere easliy accesable where I can hook up a fuel pressure gauge?
Or is there any other way I can confirm its the fuel pump. If I sprayed some starter fluid and it showed some signs of life, would that confirm that the engine isn't getting fuel?

Push the gas pedal all the way down then try to crank it.
If it won't crank the plugs could be wet.

I tired flooring the gas pedal and cranking a couple times before I removed the fuel pressure sensor plug. I only tried it twice after I pulled the plug. I'll try it a couple more times tonight.
It does crank but just does not fire up. It will keep trying to start for about 5 - 7 seconds continuously cranking. If its flooded is there any other way to get it to start?

Spray it with starting fluid before you try again.
Pull the easiest plug if you can. See if it's wet at least.
Check your battery it's probably taking a drain with no starts also.

Yea I'll try some starter fluid first and then pull a spark plug to see what the condition is. The battery did drain but I hooked it up to a charger last night. So its either too much fuel or no fuel at all.
If the plug is dry then its more likely the no fuel scenario. The fuel pump is not cheap so I want to make sure that's the problem before I purchase one. From the couple places a called for a quote the range was $450 to $3000 to get it locally for a new one. I can get one from Rockauto for about $250 but I'll just have to wait for the shipping to Canada.
The alternative is going to a local U pull yard. They have 1 IS350 in their inventory. I could pull the fuel pressure sensor and fuel pump if the car still has it. I'd only pay like $50 for both parts there.
Not sure if you've seen my other thread but the car was cranking longer than usual past couple days but it would always still start on the first push of the start button. It seemed as if the car was loosing its fuel prime and wouldn't start until it pumped new fuel.
