a friend of mine has one and it threw a CEL last week and it needed cam position sensors so he replaced it. well now a couple weeks late it id getting no spark. so in a lexus(glorified toyota) you have the plugs/wires, the 2 dizzy's because of it being an 8cyl, and two external ignitors to make it run.i thought this was ver odd. both wouldb't just go bad at the same time would they? or if one is bad the other won't work. any help on this lexus would be greatly appreciated for sure!!!!!!

any CEL now ?

no cel, he had replaced 2 magnetic sensors two weeks earlier when it did throw a light but i don't think the guy was smart enough to leave it alone

if anyone knows where i can get a downloadable repair manual or even a toyota manual with the same engine and systems that would be awesome cuz i can read the. it could be the ignitors but it has 2 and they both shouldn't go out at the same time.

fuel filter has been checked, it has 2 dizzy's on it? glad it's not my car. the little booger isnt getting spark is all i know and he mentioned a crankshaft sensor but he never showed it to me. i told the guy i would CL it for him for half of what he gets!!!!

also i have the ignitors over here and a set from a diff lexus and i hear they are intechangeable from what i've read so maybe i'll take a peak, same part number for sure. but thanks like crazy for the fiagrams so atleast i can hook my meter up to it. it could be a damn ground for all i know.
