I have the intermittent starting problem described on many occasions on the newsgroup and have narrowed the probable cause to the neutral start switch. In Googling the subject I read that the switch has a spring which, over time, fails to activate the contacts because the grease which lubricates the spring dries out. According to one poster, by disassembling the switch and cleaning and re-greasing the spring, the switch will work properly. Before I shell out $250 for the switch at my local Toyota dealer I just thought I'd check to see if anyone else has repaired the switch instead. TIA
