dani_r Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 There's been an issue with the Supra starting on occasion since I put it back on the road the other week. Basically the car will 'click' but not turn over, if i leave it for a second and try again it fires up. Any ideas? Feels like starter to me, but hopefully someone will be able to help!

Terminator Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It is a RRPITA to get off and back on, changing the contacts is easy. There are some useful threads with pics of how to access bolts, they are worth studying before you get stuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yep i had the exact problem it was on and off for year on a year. But one day (only the other week) it took 10 mins for it to finally catch. I posted up a "Wanted" post and got a whole starter motor for a good price off a a member.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Also consider that it could be the battery. Myself and a friend on another occasion had this exact problem. Replaced the battery and it worked fine ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
