TonyP Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Starter? Possibly but more likely battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potvolkoffie69 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 So if the battery doesnt have enough power, the starter doesnt work neither ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwoody1 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 thats right dead battery means the starter wont turn the motor over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 So if the battery doesnt have enough power, the starter doesnt work neither ? It doesn't have enough power to work. I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 My new o/e battery holds its charge for a lot longer than 2 weeks so i guess your battery has seen better days so might pay to pop a new one on there. They were under £50 for one from Toyota a little while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were under £50 for one from Toyota a little while ago Im still not 100% sure its the battery because the supra stood still one month before all this and started, i drove it for 1 km to home and then let it there for 1 or 2 weeks...

So basically it's been stood for 6 weeks, apart from 1km? You asked a question why won't you listen to the answers that people are giving you. If you don't want advice don't ask. Go buy a new starter starter motor why don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was just something i forgot to mention ... I REALLY HOPE ITS THE BATTERY and i know you people are pro's about everything of the supra. It's just that i had SO much problems with my supra i hope this is a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
