Default CAR WILL NOT START!!!!!

NOT A FORD, SORRY!!
I HAVE A 00 LEXUS GS300 SPORT.
WAS VISITING MY MUMS THE OTHER DAY AND LEFT KEYS IN THE CAR WITH THE RADIO ON FOR AN HOUR.
WHEN I CAME BACK IT WOULD NOT START SO I PUT JUMP LEADS ON IT AND IT WENT AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

TWO DAYS LATER AND THE CAR WONT START AGAIN. TOOK THE BATTERY OUT AND CHARGED IT OVER NIGHT AND PUT IT BACK IN. IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE IMMOBILISER. IT'S TICKING OVER BUT DOESNT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANY PETROL!

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I COULD SOLVE THIS AND GET IT GOING AGAIN?

ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

if it's trying to start, could well be fuel pump? that happened on my escort.

starter motor is kicking round, but no start!

Was the fuel pump.

**just an idea **

Modern cars don't like jump starts or something it does to the ECU, cant remember but apparently its easy to fry and ECU jump starting a car?

not jump starting... all that does is supplies 12v to the electrics if the battery is too low to crank, as you Jump in Parallel

mayb if you jumped putting the batteries in series... that'd fry the electrics!
