Starting issue with 1kr-fe engine - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have exactly the same problem and the SAME engine.
when starting my car from cold start or from a long rest (e.g. >5hours), I get this sound.
I went to see a car mechanic and electric expert.
The Mechanic did not find the problem since when I already start the car to go to the mechanic, the problem does not come back again (remember-- You need to have the car rested for >5hr approx.)... so mechanic couldn't get the problem to come back in order to detect it.

I went to see a car electric expert. Starter was serviced and everything checked.

Problem still occurred after the servicing.

But what I did to resolve the problem now is:

Every time I have to start the car out from cold, I accelerate gently and at the same time start the car.

PROBLEM SOLVED! Car starts at first ignition and problem NEVER reoccurred.

I think the problem is maybe the fuel pump or fuel goes back to the fuel tank after a long rest (it does not stay in the fuel line up to the accelerator pedal - hence the reason it takes some times to start in the morning since the fuel pump starts pumping fuel when you start the car...).
