RB-GTE Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's annoying, When I turn the key, it will just make one CLICK sound and thats it. I have to keep turing the key, sometimes I have to do it 15 times before it will actually start. The battery on this car is strong, is this the starter failing? Could the battery terminals be the problem? are they not giving connecting good enough for the car to get started? yes look old and almost rusted but can I get these from Toyota? it doesn't look like your regular kind of connector I can get at the local store.

Dnk Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sounds like the starter to me but rusty battery terminals aren't good so i'd definitely be replacing them. Toyota or a local motor factors i'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Almost certainly the starter motor contacts. You can buy a refurb kit from Toyota. Search on here for something like "starter motor contacts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It'll almost certainly be bad contacts in the starter solenoid. I've just replaced mine after having the same symptoms you've described. I bought a repair kit off eBay for about £15 delivered. Just search for 'Supra starter repair JZA80'.
