Have a 98 GS 300. Put in new battery cleaned terminals etc... prior to this attempted to start vehicle and just got a click like the starter was not engaging. Thought it was the battery. Before new battery, I cleaned the terminals and the starter engaged and did not disengage even when I took out the key. I disconnected the battery and put in a new battery. I hit the starter with a hammer and it worked. I took it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. Since this, at intermittend times, it just clicks and after a few tries, the starter engages and it starts fine. My assumption is the starter is going. Any comments or suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
