1990 toyota corolla bad starter?! The ignition swith is fine, but when i got my tires changed the guy said it was probably the cable from the starter that needs to be repaired. Took to auto zone and had it tested, starter came up fine on computer. When i turn over the key, car wont start. Sometimes it does, but usually i have to keep turning it over and over and over and after anywhere from 5-35 times it finally starts! Know specifically what it is?! Help me please!

I am sorry but we have no wiring diagrams here at fixya due to copyrighted material.

The most helpful authority for optional tire sizes with experience is probably "The Tire Rack"...online at "TireRack.com. These guys and gals are Pros at "Performance or Optional" tires. Remember after fitting your Corolla with any new tires...you need to include a four wheel alignment to insure the best performance, and mileage. Also be sure to confirm the recomended tire pressure.

Locate your starter under the intake manifold and gently tap on it with a hammer, tire iron, etc. If the car starter is working more regularly now, you have worn starter brushes. After the tap fix on the starter you typically only expect a few more starts before the starter stops working altogether. A brush set will run any wear from $20 to $50. A rebuilt starter will probably cost about $100. If bad brushes is a good diagnoses, then you should consider buying the rebuilt assembly in hopes that it will never be an issue for you again.

It resides at the top of ur transmission, if u can't see it, just follow ur main positive( + ) battery cable and it will be going to that missing STARTER!

Hope u could see it!

Taaah!

Solenoid is probably bad on the starter, it is connected so replace the starter.

Possible bad ignition switch. Wire the starter straight to the battery to test. It should turn.

This could be due to the follwing
1. Ingnition switch malfunctioning - Replace
2. Starter solenoid swith stickey - Replace

a dropped/disconected starter solenoid cable is a good candidate, a heavy cable runs from the battery to the starter, a lighter cable runs from the ignition to the starter solenoid, the ignition key throws the solenoid which engages the starter pinion gear in the flywheel, and connects the cable to spin the starter motor. even loose may not be producing enoug current to fully engage the starter.
there is a fusible link in the battery cable that is a good candidate.
if the battery were disconnected during alternator changeover, look for loose cables at the battery posts, and corrosion on the posts.
if the battery was not disconnected look for collapsed positive plates on one or more cells of the battery..

no sorry

i know you probably have good tires, but it wouldnt hurt to check into it and make sure you have the most appropriate tires for those weather conditions
