I have a 99 ES300, 125k, bought it from a dealer 3 months back. The car recently started giving me a starting problem.
Most of the times now it doesn't start. Jump start works.
Assuming it must be a battery problem, today afternoon I jump started it and drove like a mile and sat in the car idling it ocasionally rising it to 4000-5000rpm. After 1/2hr, i switched off and switched on immediately. Damn.. it didnot start again!!!
Took my multimeter and checked the battery, to my surprise, it gave a green light and showed 12.04Volts!!
Last time when I jump started the car, i didnot have to do it again and the battery showed me 12V and thought it was good.
Now today it isn't starting even if the battery shows 12V.
Any one had similar problem? Any clues? :o :(
