2002 LX 470 won't start

The battery seems fine as all panels display. The starter seems to be clicking away as is should (doesn't sound slow). But, it doesn't even try to turn over. Tried about 4 times waited a while and then started. Later doesn't seem to start at all. No fuel smell under hood during process.

    2000 470 that seems to not hold a charge.  Alternator is working, when jumpstarting it will hesitate then after a few tries it will turn over.  When it does turn over it does not act like a bad battery rather than a sticky starter, not certain what to check.  Also thought that the battery might be the wrong cca's

For 2002 LX470; after monthly starting failures each month, over seven month period. First, battery was replaced, then throttle assembly, then engine computer, then ignition module, then transmission, then problem was attributed to a cracked fuse module and entire module was replaced. Port for one of the fuses was supposedly cracked (although no final determination could be made because module is completely sealed and cannot be opened without destroying entire contents). Problem attributed to expansion/contraction in module that had crack, resulting in intermittent starting failures.

2002 Lexus LX 470. Crank but no start, I've changed the battery and spark plugs and ignition coils and it still will not turn over. I need help please.

You say 'Crank, no start', but you also say 'it will not turn over'. They are the same thing, if it cranks, it is turning over, but not 'firing' or 'starting'.

After you disconnected the battery, did you reset the Security System and Engine Immobilizer? You know it has one, that flashing light on the dash?

Some ideas here

If that doesn't fix it, an auto electrician with a $5,000 professional grade Autel scan tool will be able to diagnose the entire car in 30 minutes. A $130 scan tool is garbage.

Won't start

Switch on head lights or cabin light. If they doesn't come on or is weak, the battery is flat. Ensure that you switch off the lights.
With ignition switched on, assuming the lights on the instrument panel cames on and your immobiliser is deactivated, turn ignition to start. You should hear the solenoid at the starter making a click sound. If not, the battery is flat or the starter solenoid is faulty. If it does make a click sound, the battery could be too low to turn the starter or the starter is faulty. Assuming the immobiliser is working correctly, and the starter tries to turn the engine but it doesn't want to turn, the gasket could be blown and the cylinder filled with water, or the engine could be seized.
Hope it is not the last case. MarioCpt

My 2002 mazda protege lx refuses to start. The battery is fine, but the engine/stater makes no sound or attempt to start. What is the problem?Could it be a relay,the starter?

If your battery is known to be fine then you probably have a bad starter. You can pull it and take it to autozone and they will test it for free before you buy a new one.

My 2005 caravan won't start. When I turn the key I hear a clicking sound but it doesn't start. It worked fine earliar today.The battery is fine for now.

Possible causes are: 1. Loose or corroded battery cables. 2. Bad starter 3. Dead battery. Try tapping on the starter with a hammer while someone is holding the key in the start position. If it starts then replace the starter. Thanks

2000 Lexus LX 470 won't start

put battery on charge for a at least a day if not two before you start interfering with with anything.Sounds like a flat battery or battery not holding enough reserve amperage power.
