when turning on the engine the light turn on and then delay few seconds then you hear the engine starts....could it be the battery...its like when i turn on the headlight twice...my car is 3 years old...is it time?

i thought this was normal? i would hear the lights and dash light up then the engine will sound turning on? think its normal cars three years old as well almostt.. or am i not getting your topic? lol

don't mean to be off topic but has anyone experienced a constanttt engine crank trying to start the car but it wouldn't even start at all. it's weird. but when it stops and i try again it starts normally. it's only happened a couple times

You say 3-years old ...is it a '06 or '07? Is the problem consistant?

I'm thinking it's normal, goes through it's little self-check routine first before starting.

07...never had this problem before...the needles on the gauge doesnt even move all the way....

My IS350 is 2007. Gauges do the full sweep thing during pre-flight check.

Could be any of the following if it's either cranking slowly or cranking for awhile before "catching":

1. Low battery
2. Fouled plug(s) and/or plug wire(s)
3. Alternator

If you're under warranty, it would be worth a trip to the dealer to get it fixed for free.
