...doesn't work. What is wrong? I have a 1999 Lexus RX300. I bought it used and I have been driving this for about 2 years now. A few months ago, it would not start when I turn the key on and would take a few key turns (turn the key off and on multiple times) and only then the car would start. This happened for some months.
Now, the car doesn't start at all. Some think that it could be the alternator, some think it could be spark plug and some think it could be carburetor....

Does any one know or had similar experience?
Thank you and appreciate your help!!
 
what kind of sound is it making? is it making a clicking sound or no sound at all, i think that it might be the sparkplug my self but its hard to determine without actually being there. You best bet, would be to call the lexus dealer, or any other service company get them to tow it and determine the problem.
 
It sounds to me like a computer ignition problem, which means take it to a shop where it can be plugged in and diagnosed.
 
Starter Relay Is Bad! Maybe? Its Most Likley A Alarm Problem Try Unlocking And Locking And Unlocking The Driver Door And Then Try Starting It. All Lexus Keys Have A Chip In Them On The End Of The Key And If Your Using Like A Spare Key Thats All Metal Its Not Gona Work. Get A New Key Cut By The Dealer
