I have problems when I start my 2018 Camry Le A25A-FKS

1- when car is cold (cold start) rpm goes to 2k and then returns to 1.5k.


2- after about 1-3 hours of being stopped (maybe less or more) sometimes it starts from second try normally (I don't have clips for this situation)
or sometimes starts but rpm does not go to 1.5k directly, 0.7k then 1.5k


, also sometimes it do a hard single click sound and it start from a single crank I think this is not normal.



I have changed battery, spark plugs and air filter

And I cleaned the throttle body

Edit: if I turned off the engine and started it again at same time engine starts normally

Edit: I scanned the car with scan tool and I got X0811 code (engine difficult to start)







This also other video shows the problem happened after 2 hours car has been stopped

I had a similar issue with a totally different car long time ago and it was a crankshaft position sensor which would get heat soaked and would become faulty. Car would run fine for a long time after cold start but would not restart or would be difficult to start if sitting for a while.

This might be totally unrelated but I thought I would mention this.
