lambobaby1218 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I started the car this morning, and it did that false start thing, where you think it's starting, but then it dies. This has NEVER happened to me before, esp. with the push button start. I started it up again, and it started fine. Could this be an issue? Or am I just being normally overly concerned?

clay1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Happened to me ONCE in one year/31,000 miles, about four months ago. I would just let it go. Wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorDanH Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Same with me...only one time in 22,000 mi on the IS350 (2007). It happened when the car was quite new, and did it only the one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambobaby1218 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm about ready to take it in for the 30,000 service, so I'll mention it to the dealer, but not worry about it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaugster Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It happened to me once as well. It was just after I had reconnected the battery after performing some work. I just assumed that the car needed a few more cranks than typical to learn itself after the power was disconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ame03 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think this happens when you release the brake pedal too soon, it happen to me once but i released the brake pedal too soon on purpose i don't think you should worry about anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even not after you stopped the engine the last time before?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambobaby1218 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 The first thing that I do when I get in the car is put my foot on the brake and press the button to start it. I don't turn on the radio first thing. So no, I wasn't messing around with the radio before I started the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
