Initial question:
https://www.clublexus.com/vb/showthr...threadid=18137
Well, I was at my parents' place this weekend, and I want to confirm, that bother their SC & LS400, both has the 1-2 sec crank up hesitation. Although this does not necessarily mean that this is 'normal', or a good thing, it does appear typical for the 400 engines. I'm still going to dig for a techincal explanantion somewhere, somehow.
I feel better about mine now, but again, I'm very curious to find out why this wait is engineered as part of the engine / ignition desgin.
I know what RM stated before, just want to hear it for myself, y'know.
RealMarty, I will find th evidence!

I have long suspected that it is to give the oil pump a chance to get a little lube into the top end......but I've never asked a tech. Certainly, the engine could fire almost immediately.....Chevy and Nissan have long been that way. Dexter, if you find a definitive answer, pls post.........inquiring minds want to know!!!
