CDubb and SK thanks for your replies. I've been searching on the forum for a while, and cant seem to find an answer to these questions:
Does the intake manifold have to be removed first in order to remove the starter? Lexus dealer said that's the only way to get to it and it requires a full day of work.
Also, is the starter solenoid the same thing as the starter relay?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys/gals,
I've got a 98 GS400 with 52,5K miles on it. Recently it started acting weirdly when starting.
-Put key into ignition, and turn it
-All dashboard lights come on, CD player works, fan works
-I can hear a clicking noise when key is turned to the start position
-Car doesnt start
If i play around with the key (i.e take it out several times) or try to turn it to start position several times, the car will start eventually. Also, If i drive it frequently during the day it starts with no problems. If it sits in the parking lot for a while, then i get this problem.
I've tried replacing the battery on the key and got my car battery checked at a local AutoZone, both of those are ok.
The local dealer says the starter needs to be replaced and they want to charge me $1000 (parts + labor).
Does anybody have any suggestions or does anybody know how easy is it to replace a starter on a GS400 ?
Thanks in advance!
