Wildly Inconsistent Starting Issue
1998 LS400 with 270K miles - when I attempt to start the car, I don’t always get cranking. I have dash lights and I can hear the fuel pump running when I turn the key. The starter is relatively new. The previous owner said that if I fiddle with the shifter (shifting it out of and back into park) that it would eventually start. This has been my experience but it doesn’t always start after letting the car resettle into park. As I said before, after attempting, sometimes, many times it will eventually start and once it’s running I have no issues. It seems to be getting worse so I think I need to figure it out. What thoughts have you all? Thanks for the help in advance!
