I assume you have checked the battery? If less than 12.4 volts that is probably the cause of the problem. If it is OK, get under the vehicle and thump the starter solenoid (the cylinder attached to the starter itself) with a hammer to loosen any internal rust. Also check the earth connections - finally jump the connections on the solenoid with a BIG screwdriver - but keep your hand well clear of the metal parts unless you want a nasty shock. If all this fails, you probably need a new starter motor

Wil not turnover makes all the usual sounds when starting then will start clicking will not engage starter & turnover moter

Probably a rusted starter solenoid - get a hammer and give the solenoid (cylinder attached to the starter motor) a few good thumps. If that fixed it, get the unit replaced because it will happen again.

If this trick does not work, check the wiring for loose or rusted earth - another common fault

Why won t my car turnover

  • Okay, a clicking sound is the solenoid engaging the starter drive gear but the starting motor is not turning over. First possible is low battery. Second is bad or dirty connection, usually battery terminal. Good enough to energize solenoid but not enough amps to spin starter. Third is a bad starter motor, usually a brush corroded, worn or stuck.
  • Lift the hood and look at the battery terminals. if they are clean and tight, check the battery for charge. I usually hook a booster on and try cranking the engine over. ZIf it works, charge or replace the battery.
  • If it didn't crank, Take a jumper cable and connect the one end to the battery positive. Touch the other end to the starter motor terminal. Motor should turn over, if not, replace the starter.

Starter good but still won't crank,

remove the starter and check the condition of the ring gear and pinion teeth. Any burrs on either makes it hard for the pinion to engage the fly wheel a split second before the armature starts to spin.

My 1996 Toyota Vienta won't turnover with the key in ignition. Plenty of electrical power, air con runs as does the lights. Fitted with an immobilizer, wondered if that might have something to do

Check wiring to your starter make sure all the wires are secure. Its mainly sounds like you need a new starter. If you hear it clicking it is likely engaging just not spinning

1995 toyota celica starts up when cold and will run until i get wherever i need to go. Then if i shut off and try to restart it doesnt make any clicking noise and wont try to turnover until cold.

So when your engine is hot the starter won't engage. Try cleaning and tightening the wires that are bolted to your starter first. You want bare shiny metal to metal at all your connections. Take care when unbolting the wires because you could strip or break the studs on the solenoid. If this doesn't help then I would say the solenoid is going bad and will need to be replaced. It's usually a good idea to replace the starter and solenoid as one unit. Hope this helps.

Turn the key just a clicking sound all warnings flash !! wont turnover

This sounds like a duf battery, try another charged battery on the car, not with jump leads as a dead battery will sap power. If still the same with another battery I would have starter checked as the only other clicking noise can be a solenoid kicking in but not engaging the starter, Cheers good luck

Battery is charged. Went to start car at the end of the day, and there is a mechanical clicking sound (all dash indicators light) but the starter motor won't engage, and car won't turnover. Bad...

Do this to check if it's a bad battery, turn head light's on and try to start it, if head light go to dim or off, bad battery not holding a charge, if light stay on ok, then this will take two people tap on the starter kinda hard with a hammer or something you can reach it with while some one hold's to key to start, if it start's bad starter or trys to turn engine replace it.
