After a recent blowout of the front passenger tire, my car immediately stopped running. I noticed some damage to some wiring which seems to lead to suspension sensors or components in the wheel well. My car turns over fine but not seem to be getting any "fire" at the ignition. I dont see any damage to any components or anything else but the wiring.
What type of wiring is located in the front wheel well of the 91 Lexus LS400 and how could damage to the wiring cause ignition failure?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Check for any damage to the crankshaft possition sensor, it's down low right next to the crank pulley, if it's damaged, replace the sensor and repair the wire!
