starting issues! :(

[andrewrocks]

my 95 v6 camry is having some issues starting... and it's getting worse.

at first it was that if i didn't drive my car for 12~15 hours, i would have to turn the key a few times. Now its getting down to around every 8 hours or so.

essentially the problem is this:
i put in my key, radio, stereo, headlights come on

i turn the key, nothing happens

i wait 3 seconds, and turn it again. The engine coughs.

I wait a few more seconds, turn the key and the engine starts like nothing was wrong. This only happens when i've had the car sitting for awhile.

The battery has been replaced just today, and i still have the issue.

could it be that my solenoids are going bad?
If they are, how much does it cost to replace them?

sounds like it, chack the grounds too just in case. its cheap to buy pretty much but a little difficult to install. i jsut bough a refurbished starter and put that in. took 1 hour

if the car has been on for a while and then you shut it. then start it up in like five minutes, how does it start up?
-too quick?
-normal?
-too slow?
