grand lexus Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Having trouble starting my 2000 ES300 (new engine in 2006). I tap the battery terminals and it will start. They are clean as can be. My mechanic says that the starter is probably going bad. Is that likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWoodLexus Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 definately sounds like the solenoid is binding up. Check for a good batter, then the ground from the battey Neg. to where it attatches to the body for tight connections, check tight (and clean) connections to the starter, and check that the starter is tightly bolted to the bell housing since the ground is the case of the starter. If all that is good than it is DEFINATELY a bad starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
