I pulled a CEL and came up with a 17 code, that is not on my diagrams on the factory lexus manual.
I have physically located the sensor and it seems dirt connected but fine otherwise I do not see and immediate malfunction a the moment.
The car seems to have the original wires and I also have to guess the original plugs at the moment. I ordered some wires and I have the cap and rotor ready to go, My question is is any one can help my trouble shoot a code 17 ?
I figure that it is causing the car to miss badly how ever neither the knock sensor nor ignition MIL / CEL code appear.
I will be replacing the ignition system if that does not fix this issue does any one know what may be causing this issue? It is very concerning.

I was at a light today and the car just died. I restarted it and its just been acting really abnormal.
I have rebuilt the ECU with the proper caps. Fixing the ECU allowed me to pull codes prior to fixing the ECU the MIL/CEL would not even come on.
I talked to a technician about running a diagnostic for CODE 17 and he must be honest cause he stated that installing the plugs cap rotor wires would be the first thing to do since I have them purchased already to do that my self.
If I understand right the Cam Position Sensor is located on the underside of the intake manifold drivers side Im guessing cylinder 4. Also I was told that there are sensors in the distributor.
I have a feeling that the timing belt tensioner is giving out and that maybe throwing off the cam gears.
Throw me some ideas fellas; Code 17 CMS Sensor No.#1
Could it be bad ignition parts ?
Bad timing tensioner ?
bad cam sensor ?
bad distributor ?
