#25 of 27 Re: Occasional starting issue with 2002 Lexus ES 300 [jbwheeler] by johngreis Sep 30, 2009 (10:58 am)
Replying to: jbwheeler (Sep 29, 2009 1:27 pm) About 50 plus years ago I had the same problem on a Studebaker. I carried a hammer with me and when it wouldn't start I gave the starter motor a whack. I finally took it to a garage and they said it was just the brushes. They sometimes hang up in their holder or get warn down to the point that the little springs can't push them against the armature. Replacing the brushes fixed my bug. That's a lot cheaper than replacing the starter motor.   An even cheaper way is to carry a hammer.
#26 of 27 Lexus LS 460 Fuel Injector Problems by jimscar1 Oct 16, 2009 (12:04 pm)
I have a 2007 Lexus LS460. A few months ago I started having problems starting the car after sitting for about 2 hours. It starts fine when cold and fine when hot but when it partially cools down, it cranks through two cycles before it finally starts. It also seems to idle a little rough and sounds a little different. Lexus has replaced the fuel injectors once which helped for about 2 months. They now tell me they suspect the cause is the Costco gas I have been using. They say they have about 30 vehicles with the same problem and all have been burning Costco gas. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
