As I was prepping our '08 with 250k miles on it today, I attempted to start the vehicle. Nothing happened but it's as if the battery was dead. The next time there was a click. Then the next 2 times there was 1 click. On the next try the starter engaged correctly. The next 4 times the starter engaged correctly.
No codes showing on the Toyota app.
We got the rig in 2019 at 225k miles. I have a good portion of the service records of the prior owner but not all of them. I've not seen anywhere of a starter being replaced. When I went to the dealer to pick up parts for replacing the left lca last week, I grabbed a starter as insurance for our trip next weekend. It was on my to-do for last week but with a sick family I've been behind on everything.
What's the probability this is the starter or something else?
EDIT: I've engaged the starter over 7-10 more times in the past hour with no issues. I realized I've had my OBD reader plugged in for over a week (with little use of the vehicle) and it might have drained the battery.
