My Lexus has done 129000 miles, and its my 3rd. Lexus. I love it.

sometimes it will not fire and starter motor keeps spinning even if ignition turned off and key removed.

Then wait a few minutes and its starts okay. Seems to happen periodically and sounds silly but only if left pointing overnight uphill. Any ideas or comments. Thanks Paul

Sounds like the solenoid in the starter is on its way out. There is a link in my signature block regarding overhaul of the starter if it helps. It does of course mean the starter needs to come off, which is in the V of the engine. Not a simple jobs as the inlet manifold usually has to be removed (unless someone has had it off before and done a slight mod on the bolts), although in itself, the manifold isn't that complicated a job if you are handy with spanners and a socket set.
