My celica sometimes does not start on a key turn, starts ok after a delay. Normally, it is attributed to the starter contacts.
But sometimes the starter engages and turns, and then dies. Restart works. Battery good, no other issues. What else to blame in this case? Thanks! |

Perhaps stupid/obvious/unnecessary, but corrosion on the battery terminals?

I replace the battery a couple times while this happening.

If you have had to replace your battery a few times..ever think about your alternator? If your alternator is bad its just going to drain the battery. Worth getting it tested. This post has been edited by DeviantCorndog: Jan 1, 2014 - 3:46 PM |
