starting problems
about a couple weeks ago my car started to have a lil problem. When i would turn the key over it would just click ( radio ect would come on) i have to do this about 3-4 times and then it will actually go to the starter and turn the engine over. does this have anything to do with the seleniod? please help!!!

Re: starting problems
If it's clicking that means the soleniod is working usually. Sounds more like the starter motor is wearing out.

Re: starting problems
before you go replacing the starter (or even rebuilding it), check to make sure your battery is good. take it to auto zone, o'reilly's, or whatever chain auto store is in your area--they should test your battery for free.
reason being, the starter on my dad's car (96 camry) was doing the same things. i checked the battery and it was putting out 12.8 volts or something close to that...so that number sounded good to me. but AFTER wire-hunting for a f#%*@& 'ballast resistor' (i was told that was what was wrong since i 'knew' the battery was good) and AFTER REBUILDING the starter.... it turned out just to be a bad battery. but the battery was less than 6 months old. so IF its your battery, make sure to get a GOOD battery (Duralast, Optima, Interstate).

Re: Re: starting problems
I replaced my battery... and alternator (funny how things seem to all go out at once). after all that I still had the issue with the starter not kicking in till 3 or 4 tries.

Re: starting problems
