1999 gs400 doesn't start - then it does?
I have a problem that I haven't found exactly the same issue on these great forums. If I leave my car unstarted for a few days (like over the weekend or longer), I have a heck of a time stating the thing - all power comes on but won't turn over for a good 10-12 cranks. However, once it's started it starts and runs just fine everyday...
Is this a starter issue? If so, why does it seem to do just fine as long as I run it every day?

Thanks all - the battery is pretty new and still in good shape. I was guessing the starter also but it doesn't make sense to me why it acts just fine as long as I'm starting it every day

Yuk - that stinks! I noticed today too that my vsc on / off and abs idiot lights came on. Car runs fine - is this issue somehow related or are things just starting (no pun intended) to fall apart?
