2008 gs460 starting problem
1st wtf moment with the new car.
2008 gs460
81k miles
Been sitting for about 5 days and go to start it. It fires then dies. 2 more attempts and it just cranks.
3rd time start and floor it, almost starts.
4th time it starts with WOT.
Everything seems fine, no cel. no weird sounds. all normal now.
I didnt drive it, just let it idle for a minute. was only moving it out of the way.
The last week was freezing around 0 degrees F for days and it started each time without issue.
Its not a battery problem bc its only a year old and cranks just fine.
Any insight is appreciated.

Just because a battery is a year old doesnt justify that it is good. I would put a volt meter to it and test it, also I would inspect the air filter to see if theres any blockage or if theres any animal nestings, next I would remove the throttle body and clean it inside and out it could be gummed up with gunk.
