Hi,

I take care of my 2007 RX350 well, regular oil change, etc., including new spark plugs and engine coils (only the back 3 coils) changed nearly 1 year ago. I have uploaded a video of the morning engine sound, first start of the day. I am wondering if the sound is normal. It sounds like a bit sputtering to me?

Here is the link to the video https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hdC...ew?usp=sharing. Sorry it's quite dark, because of the hood covering the light in the garage.

Thanks for any thought!

That sounds like a Diesel engine. Not good.

It's loud in the video, but you have the microphone right next to the cylinder head, so it's going to pick up all the clicking and clacking.
Does it quiet down after a couple of minutes?
Does it run and drive normally (other than the noise)?

If you answer Yes to both questions, don't worry about it. It's normal.

I'm sorry but on my laptop with volume on max I can only hear the fuel injectors clacking, my speakers not picking up the sounds you are hearing.

Yes to both the above questions. Thank you!
