I have a 2006 Lexus LX470 with 39k Miles. Today something really strange happened. I had been driving the truck for about a couple of hours. Turned it off. Attempted to start shortly after but It simply cranked and would not start. The truck has the automatic crank feature as it simply cranks itself until the Engine starts. I tried multiple times (5-7) then I decided to leave it alone.
Keep in mind that I had about ¾ Full Tank of Gas. New Battery installed 6 months ago.
Anyway, I came back after three hours. Cranked and the truck started just fine. Drove around the block. Turned it off, then on again (5-7 times) and it appears to be PERFECT now. No check engine light or pending codes (I have the OBD scanner). I did realize a strong smell of gasoline while it wasn’t starting though. It was really hot outside (105 degrees) but I’m not sure whether the outside heat had anything to do with it.
Any ideas what could have triggered this issue?
