Hi Scotty, as much as I would love to go on a tangent about how much I watch your videos and how much they help me learn, I rather get straight to the point so my message doesn't get skipped. I have a 2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD with just under 145,000 mi and it only cranks but won't start. It drove perfectly normal until out of no where I turned it on quickly to move it to change my parking spot, Then when I tried turning it back on it only cranks but won't start. Car has a check engine light, has a alternator light, and has a "Check VSC" light, The brake pedal all the sudden seems super heavy as well. Last oil change was 3,000 miles ago and it just realllyyyy sucks that this is happening in the worst time possible, this is my daily driver and the car that helped me move out. I hear a humming noise from my rear driver side when the car is turned on before turning on the car and I also hear a clicking noise in the front passenger side like if it were coming from the glovebox. I have a full tank of gas so I don't think it could be my fuel pump but I can be wrong. I have not checked for spark yet because I haven't gotten to it and I haven't checked for fuel pressure. I've gone and binge watched any video that could give me a lead on what's wrong but I'm still clueless with nobody around me to help. Now I'm no mechanic but I have gone and installed a new alternator and spark plugs myself. I try and stay OEM when it comes to those types of things. I bought starter fluid and sprayed it into my intake and car still did not start. I tried unplugging my MAF sensor then turning the car on and still nothing! Honestly COVID has hit me hard and I just have no means of sending my car into the shop to later getting a ridiculous bill on top of what I already have. It's hard to dedicate all my time to this car when my work van also has problems but I also can't send it no where. Help scotty!

Hy!

Perhaps this video will help. Super heavy brake pedal is normal when the car is off.

Good luck!
