My 87 toyota..... I have tried turning on the ignition, waiting, turning it off and then it starts right away. my starter started grinding, that is why we replaced it. so, if I turn the igintion on, wait, turn off, then it does start right away. even with the new fuel filter, it's not getting gas right away?

if the starter spins and grinds when you try to start the truck your starter is bad it could be a starter drive or other bad starter parts the problem with knewer cars is its just easyer to replace the starter then it is to rebuild then and more cost effective.
POSSIBLE CAUSE BATTERY CABLES COULD BE LOOSE OR CORRODED OR BAD GROUND CABLE.YOUR STARTER SOLENOID OR STARTER IS FAULTY.YOUR CAR COULD BE IN THEFT DETERENT MODE.ALSO CHECK IGNITION FUSE TO MAKE SURE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS GETTING POWER.BECAUSE A BAD IGNITION SWITCH WILL CAUSE NO START PROBLEMS.
Hello;
The problem you are experiencing is one of two possiblilties. First, the bendix is weak in the starter. Best course of action is to replace the starter. When you pull the starter out, use a pry bar or screwdriver to rotate the flywheel an inspect the meshing teeth of the flywheel. If there is a section that has worn teeth then the flywheel needs to be replaced.

My truck was doing the same thing, and it turned out the starter was going bad, it started drawing too much juice from the battery, so the crank power from the battery wasn't enough to start the motor, but the battery was good, if you jump start it from another vehicle and it starts right away, it is most likely your starter.
The interlock can have something to do with it. I've actually seen those devices rob the battery and create no starts. If it's not installed properly, then it can cause different things to go wrong with the car. Check the condition of your cables. Use a remote start button on the solonoid to make sure the solenoid isn't bad. Load test the battery as well. Check to make sure that your alternator is charging properly.
