Default Did you run into engine trip in the middle of pushing start

LS 460l--2007

When the car is exposed to the hot sun (parked) for one hour or so, I push the start button and the engine attempt to start but never complete the starting process and trips. I have to try about three times before I get it to run.

But it also could start from the first time, but never more than three.

First I thought maybe I am not pressing the break firmly, but after many repeats it became obvious that there is an issue

It is not as bad as I may have made it sound.

I will be interested if any one have seen this issue

Yes, I have but it wasn't parked under the sun. The engine always starts the 2nd time but my problem was that I didn't press the start button long enough. The engine always starts after leaving the car after quite a while on hot days (32°C, 90°F).

32°C
Unfortunately our sun is not that friendly.

I am located at the cancer ring (23 N), 32 would be pleasant.

Nowadays it is 45° C

I am positive something not right with my car. But It is one of those problems that is not reproducible in the presence of the dealer.

Thnx
