Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have 2002 toyota sienna. the car was perfect until after 30k miles. we first noticed the car occasionally had difficulty of starting during warm weather or warm engine condition. then the situation got worst, the no starting got more often. we even got stuck in the freeway and busy street because we stopped the car and had a lot of difficulty to get the car started again. the situation could be dangerous in a traffic busy location. i have two friend who have sienna and they both had the similar problems with their sienna. the usual symptom of the problem: the car takes more cracking to start and then its rpm immediately drops to 400-200rpm and then the engine dies; some times pushing on the accelerator would help raising the rpm and got the car really started; at some other times, the engine would not start at all until the engineer cools down and/or the weather cools down; today, it happened again in an outdoor parking lot. i am still trying to get it started. *nm
