So I got this well discussed on the toyota forums topic -
interminentelly the car just does not start - just a click and nothing else. Several tries - it statrts. Happens more when sit for a while. One known fix is the contacts inside the starter. Any experience with this problem? Battery is new and good. Thans! |

I am 100% sure that it's your starter guys. That is the only part I had to replace on my Celica so far. Your starter motor is locked up when you hear the clicking. Be careful not to hold the key into the start position for too long, the starter is pulling a LOT of amperage when its locked up an can drain or kill your battery that way.
I bought a warrantied used starter off eBay for $50 shipped and installation was $100 from my local mechanic. -------------------- '92 Grey Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - Sold
