Timing chain or starter 98 LS400
Hey need some advice. Started car yesterday and it instantly died. When I went to restart the motor will not turn over but the starter turns (the noise it makes is like when you already have a car running and you try to start and it make s that whine noise). I played with it and the engine turned just a bit and started and was running rough and when I hit the gas it died. Now it will not start at all. Just hear the starter making turning noise that is it. Any ideas? I am thinking it might be the timing chain (belt).. The car just had a new starter put in in March right before I purchased from Lexus dealership. The car is 98 with 226,000 miles. Thanks for the help!
