Default Super weird freak problem, car tried to start itself with no key
I was eating lunch when my car started to turn it self on 3 times!! Before I attempted to disconnect my battery, my crank pulley started clicking and slightly rotating with each click. Afterwards it tried to start up one more time. My car has the factory alarm and I just swapped over my 2jz-gte into another shell due to a wreck. The front of the car is lifted on jack stands because I was switching out the lower ball joints, if being off the ground makes a difference lol. What can it be clublexus?? Please help, it's so weird!

Your starter contacts are sticking. Time for new ones.
