Startup noise poll
Lets see if we can come up with some common characteristics of the 'startup noise' issue.
I tried to limit the number of choices..but thought the main categories would be
Oil Viscosity
Engine Temp when it occurs
Frequency of occurence
Engine
I am sure there are others..so feel free to comment on other things we may have in common

The only noise that I can hear is when the weather is really, really cold. I hear a hard tick-tick-tick or knocking sound coming from the engine. Once it warms up, it goes away.

I just got my car back from Lexus of Wesminster to fix my engine rattle problem. It took them 2 days to get everything done and it seems like they changed a lot of stuff. I see they changed the fuel pump and alot of "gasket" but I have no clue what it is. The only problem i have right now is that my driver door auto power window doesnt work. When i hold down the button but it doesnt auto roll like other three and the the light flashes on the button. Anyone with this problem?

I believe the poster of this poll is talking about the noise that is addressed in the cam actuator TSIB, the one that sounds like a chain being pulled out of a plastic milk bottle really fast for about a second after the engine is started.

It could happen to any and all IS and GS cars with the 2GR-FSE.
If you think you have this noise call your service department. They are well aware of it and this issue was so bad at one point the parts were on back order. Just make sure they replace all seals and the intake and out take cam or else you'll be going back.
I've had mine fixed for almost five or six months with no issues.
If you look at the thread *engine cranking noise* which should probably be sticked it explains the noise, where it comes from, and I even posted the parts they ordered from my invoice. If its going to happen you can't prevent it, its a flaw..
