Morning .The other morning the temp dropped, started my car it stayed on for maybe 10 secs and died. Hasn't started since ,if I try it'll crank maybe 3/4 of the way then nothing , It won't let you try again for sometime. 2006 lexus is250 6spd,f sport suspension and rims ,nothing else. Any help is appreciated!!!! thanks in advance.

Sounds like the battery. Have you tried jumping it?

IronmonkeY

But of course ,That was the first thing we tried. Same thing no change

No other suggestions?!

I'll give you a bump here.

When you say "it'll crank maybe 3/4 of the way then nothing" do you mean that the engine rotates about 3/4 and then just stops? Or do you mean the engine cranks and fires off for a split second and then dies?

If it's a cranking issue have you checked out your battery wires and wires on your starter? If they are loose or severely corroded that will definitely cause starting issues.

Is the Check Engine Light on? Any other lights?

I'm still somewhat new with my Lexus but could it be an Anti-Theft/Alarm issue that's disabling it?

I've read about some owners having issues with their ground cable of the battery going bad or losing the factory connection with the chassis. Perhaps look into that.

Have you recently had any service done on the car or completed any mods to it?

It tries, like it's about to start then nothing after that. Tricked the starter and it seems to be working, all connections and grounds are nice and tight, fuses aren't broken. I'm stumped

IronmonkeY

In the process of checking that ground now. No none.

P.s. vsc and power steering lights are on.

Thanks guys! Putting it in the shop, I don't have the time or patience to diagnose her.
