1994 Lexus SC300 3.0L Fuel Pump VIN: JT8JZ31C9R
The car still has the same problem, however, he hasn't brought it back as of yet. We suspect that the used fuel pump is killing it too. At this point, for the sake of convenience, we plan on simply jumping the fuel pump. Thanks to everyone who replied.
