celica isnt starting sometimes. Options

my buddy just picked up a 1994 celica st just before winter hit. he planned on using it as a winter beater. lately it hasnt been starting up right away. it doesnt crank or anything. but then 10 minutes later it will start right up. he replaced the battery with a brand new one, and replaced the alternator and belt but its still not starting on somedays.

anyone have any idea on what could be causing this to happen?

like i said, it doesnt crank over when the key is turned, but all electrical devices work fine. we wait about 10 minutes and it starts right up without a problem.

he said it could be the cold weather, but my celica doesnt have any problems in the winter.

anyone have a clue???

nope, doesnt make any sound when we try to start it. havnt noticed any gas smell. lights dont dim when we try to start it.

could be the starter.. not sure yet. but if it is the starter, then how come it goes days without a problem, and then WHAM! it wont start. but 10 minutes later it will start right up without a prob.

your saying its 10 min on the dot? how many times do you try to start it with in that 10 min? like do you try to start it, then wait 10 min and try again or do you try to start it and try a few more times with in a 10 min period?
