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! |

When my wife's 97 acted just like that, it was the contacts in the starter solenoid. they looked ok at 1st, but were worn to the point the plunger was bottoming out b4 the contacts made good contact, some arcing going on that sometimes took several tries to get a good contact through. Toyota sells a replacement solenoid repair kit to repair it.
Ironically, my Harley had the same type starter and took the same contacts. It also had the same troubles. ... apparently Autozone and others sell kits now too: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wc...ontent=22147948 |
