Hi...I am relatively new here...just purchased a 1986.5 Supra with 90000 miles on it. Yesterday went to start my car...and nothing...not even a click..waited a few minutes then she fired right up..this has happened a few times, think that it may be the starter? Any ideas?? Thanks...Jen

Did the fans and the dash lights come on? If they didn't, you might have a bad ignition switch. Usually a litte CRC cleaner shot into the switch will set that straight, it's just a little electrical tarnish- if you have a can around, it might be worthwile to do it anyhow. After you do it, work the key abck and forth a few times...<br><br>If the fans and lights did come on, consider the following things first- they're free. There should be a clutch safety switch, maybe the first time you tried to start it you didn't have the clutch pushed in (far enough or it stuck in the closed position- if there is one, it'll be a simple pin switch like the one that operates your dome light and hit somewhere on the clutch pedal shaft lube it up a little or adjust it) or a nuetral safety switch if the car was in gear and is an automatic. No click could also be a bad starter relay.<br><br>Usually, if it's not one of the above mentioned switches or the relay, you get the click that tells you the switch is closing but there isn't enough juice to spin the starter motor. Sometimes, there isn't enough juice in the battery to even close the switch, but it seems umlikely that this is the case if the car started right up afterwards. <br><br>Two things to check, a weak battery (or one with corroded cables or terminals) or bad starter. You can have the battery tested (most auto parts stores will test the battery right on the car for free) <br><br>Start with the cheap and go to the expensive or difficult to repair. Check the free and simple stuff, then clean the battery terminals with water and baking soda and make sure they're tight enough. then drive down and have the car's battery resistance tested at your local Kragen (or what have you) If that's good, you may be able to have the relay tested- maybe not- <br><br>If you still don;t have any luck, then pull the starter and have it bench tested before you buy a new one. but like I said, no click isn't usually a starter kind of problem)
