This 1999 Rx 300 will not start. If i spray starting fluid in the air filter chamber it will run for a bit.. It than shut off. I am thinking fuel pump. It also makes a clicking when the key is turned to acess.
She said the acceleration was bad before this all happen. If any have some answer please help. I know very little about this vehicle. Where is the fuel pump located and how does one change it. Location of fuel filter and any thing else I might need to check. It has a half tank of fuel. I did check that and the gauge does work. Is there a relay location I need to check for power. I need help fast.
Only WAY TO WORK!!!! Thanks!!

Do you smell fuel when cranking it? When was the spark plug replace last time? You will need more info.

too many possibilities here. iac valve, fuel pump, ecm itself, try disconnecting the battery for a while. and see if that helps anything.

If you have to use starter fluid to make it start, it's obviously a fuel delivery issue. Make sure you got gas, do NOT trust the gauge. If it go enough gas and still won't start, I would get the fuel pressure tested make sure it's within specs. Also check the power and ground for the fuel pump and make sure it's good.

Never mind. Re-read your post and its not what I thought - it was a little hard to understand on first reading.

I replaced the plug. value cover and tube seals. it started and ran fine, it later started making a noise and the check engine lite came on
