Hoping someone can help me here. 98 lexus es300, v6 engine with 220k miles. When I go out to start the car in the morning(in the cold), it starts to crank, but then stops. it has intermittent clicks, which points to a bad starter to me, but then it’ll start to crank, sometimes crank slow and die off, or it’ll have enough to start the car. Once it starts to warm up though during the day, it starts fine with no problems.
I want to say its the starter but the conditions seem to tell me maybe the battery doesnt have good CCAs? the battery is less than a year old. If any more info is needed ill gladly provide it. thanks!

I’d look at the battery first before anything else.
How old is it (if 4+ yrs old then probably time for a new one!)
Is there anyone nearby that can test it for you?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well the battery is about 9 months old so less than a year old. I had autozone test it a couple months back but when they tested it it was still in the car and they said it was good. Not sure if that makes a difference with it being in the car versus out of it.
