Starting???

[2kcamrytnr]

hey everyone need some help, i have had trouble starting my engine on my gen 4 camry lately and was wondering cuz it takes me like 4 or or 5 tries to get it going and no its not the battery because i just got it replaced like 2 days ago, i thought it might have been the battery cuz i have an amp and sub running off of it too but got the battery the replaced and its still taking just as long to start, any suggetions???? i was thinking it could be like the starter or spark plugs? but idk any help would be appreciated thanks

Whats the voltage on the battery while the car is off?

Did you check to see that your terminals are connected securely?

Whats the voltage when the car is on?

Do you run the sub/amp when the car is off?

4-5 times to turn the engine over, or 4-5 times of turning over to start?

4 or 5 times to get it started but once its started it runs perfectly fine, the battery terminals are cleaned and have good contact and its new so i dont think thats it, i dont know why either because it just got a full tune up like a month ago

Engine cranks normal? Hard starting when hot or cold, both? Might check IAC valve.

So you turn the key and nothing happens, that 4-5 times? Or, you turn the key and the engine turns over but won't start, you do this 4-5 times?

so when you turn 4-5 times, you hear this "click" sound and nothing happen right...!

mate you're having the same problem as i am. how many km has your camry done??? if it has done more than 150,000km and you have not changed or replaced the Starter, i would suggest you get a brand new starter, about $150usd-$250.
