So the other day i went to start my car. I turned the ignition, but it wasn't turning over. After a few times of trying, it started and ran fine. I assumed it was the battery. So i got it checked and there was nothing wrong with it. So i thought it was the connection. I changed to Battery Terminals and it still does the same thing. This has been going on for about a week now... I'm afraid that it just won't start one day. Does anyone know anything about this that could help??? Is it the starter, Alternator, Distributor Cap???
 I need Help

if all you hear is a click when you turn the key, i'm thinking its your starter.

contacts in the starter sound like they're on the way out, every gt4 i've owned bar the orange one has done this so it must be a common fault on the celicas
