My 2001 Lexus ES300 won't crank. I thought the battery was the culprit so I got it charged put it back in and it still won't crank. I filled it with gas the night before and put an STP fuel treatment in gas tank. Went out to drive the next day I have power cause th lights and all come on but it won't turn over. What do you think it is?
Does it click when you try to start the car? If so, change your starter.
It clicks and actually sounds like it wants to crank normally, has power to lights it just won't crank. I've never put a fuel treatment in it before....
The issue is with the starter. Check it out (connect cables directly from the battery poles to the starter and see if the starter turns over. If it does make the same noise as you hear now, the starter is bad.
