My 1999 SC300 was hit from behind the other day. When I went to move it out of the road it would not stay running. The vehicle would crank but the fuel was cut off. It would sputter out and die. The damage didn't look that bad and I didn't see any fuel leaking from underneath. Do you all know if there is a switch for the fuel pump to reactivate it? My cobra had a button that could reset the fuel pump but I couldn't find one on the Lexus. Any help would be appreciated.

Try resetting your ECU by leaving the battery off for a while then come back and try it again. If that doesnt work try running 12V to the pump and see if it activates. Do this by by-passing the Fuel pump ECU.

How bad was this damage? Bad enough to kink the fuel line/ tank ?

thanks for the help fellas. actually the damage wasn't that bad considering she hit me going 45mph and i was at a dead stop. the bumper and trunk were pushed in some but the lights didn't even break. i looked underneath and the bumper didn't even get pushed into the spare tire well. i just figured that it must have killed the fuel as a safety feature. i will take a closer look at it when i can get a ride to the tow yard.

Thanks again for the help fellas. I was able to look at the vehicle today. She hit me so hard from behind that she knocked things loose up front in the engine bay. I reconnected a few things from the airbox up to the intake and it runs now. The bad news is it looks like the frame is damaged. Another fight with the insurance company.
