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

Its just something that goes bad sometimes. Sounds like the starter.

Sweet guys. Thanx for your input. Much appreciated. Any major company in mind that u guys think is the best to go to for a starter???

does anybody have a pic of where the starter is on the back of the engine block???

No but it's roughly around the passenger axle if that helps any

wow, i just went to advanced auto parts and got a starter. that sucked. never had to change a starter that was attatched to the back of the engine block. Hope i never have to do that again...
Thank u guys for helping me with everything. I probably would have never of figured this out alone. Much appreciated

So are you up and running?
