Start-Up problem
We have a 92 SC300, and during the day the car does not start a couple of time when you start it. We checked the battery and it is okay. I have no idea of what this can be. If anyone knows please tell us. THANKS

same problem
if your symptoms are:
1. you start the car and in about less than 5 seconds or so, you hear the car start to die....
2. when #1 is in progress, once you think the car is dying, you step on the gas and it's fine...
3. sometimes stepping on the gas doesn't solve the problem
4. it can take up to 5-7 times trying to start the car to finally get it to work...
THEN THE PROBLEM IS YOUR IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR...THIS PART RUNS TO ABOUT ~$900!
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM...

I have never seen a failed Air Idle Valve but the symptoms Sharon lists are similar to the failing pump ECU, I forgot to add you can test for the pump ECU issue by placing a jumper in the diag port to force the system intp 12v mode, see my site for more details.
