Hello all I'm a new Lexus owner and new to CL.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on the threads and I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

Seems like when I try to start my car all I hear is a "click" then a slight hissing sound. I already changed the battery and I don't wanna put anymore money into fixing it until I know what the problem is for certain

Any help would be nice, thank

 

Sounds like the starter not functioning properly.

 

Which i heard is a common problem from my research.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

Anyone recommend a reliable place for a replacement starter or will any Autozone starter do?

 

You can get an OEM rebuild kit from Sewell for around $80. Easy to rebuild once you have the starter out.

 

The whole thing will be getting the starter out. Too big of a job for me to do:/

 

Is your key programmed to your ecu?

 

Yeah the key is progammed to the ecu
