Might be especially if it was the inlet manifold that was loosened. It is better to remove completely such things and then ensure they are refitted correctly with new gaskets or seals if required.

An air leak usually produces a hissing noise which can be located with a short length of hose used as a listening tube. Could be a split or displaced vacuum hose which sometimes don't like being disturbed on an older car.

SOURCE: STARTER FOR 04 TOYOTA COROLLA

First, turn the key switch to LOCK. Disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes to make sure the airbag is disarmed. Remove the engine cover panels from below the engine. If you need more room, consider removing the air cleaner, upper radiator support, battery and tray and the coolant reservoir and hose.

Remove the starter wires then the starter. Pay attention to which bolt goes to which hole as they are different lengths. Putting it back together should be self explanatory. Good luck!

Please ask if you have any more questions. If this was helpful, please give me a good rating.

No. Removal of the intake manifold is not an attractive option.
...That will cost you more time and money in the long run.
You will need to replace the intake manifold gasket, and several others.

It sounds like you have a bad actuator. This is attached to the starter and has a solonoid that pushes the starter motor gears into the engine gear. If the solonoid is faulty this may happen. Also check alignment of the same.

How to install a starter on a 2006 toyota corolla?

They only have 2 bolts holding them in. Unbolt/unclip the wires from the starter and then remove those 2 bolts. Replacing it is the same process in reverse.

2006 toyota corolla. when starting click sometimes once. sometimes 4x, maybe stater. mechanic told me, maybe the bendex gear?? do i need to change the whole starter?

You have to remove the starter and the starter drive is a part inside the starter. It's easier to just replace the entire starter.

I am replaceing the starter on a 1998 toyota corolla 1.8 ltr. How do I get to the top bolt on the starter to remove it ?

Hello,

To replace the starter of a 1998 toyota corolla, please follow the steps below:
  1. Remove the key from the ignition, and remove the battery, do not attempt this with the battery in car.
  2. Remove the battery and tray.
  3. Look to the rear of the engine, You'll see the top of the starter, loosen and remove the 14mm bolt/nut holding it down below,
  4. Drain the radiator and remove the lower radiator hose. This will let You squeeze the starter around the AC line,
  5. Then install the new starter, the one bolt You removed from the bottom, screw the last 14mm bolt on the starter into the transmission loosely,
  6. Go up top, reinstall the top bolt, tighten this firmly but not all the way,
  7. Go below, tighten the bottom bolt to final spec.
  8. Reattach all the wires, make sure the trigger wire is snapped in fully.
  9. Go up top, firmly firmly tighten to spec the top bolt,
  10. Reinstall everything You removed up top the below,
  11. Reinstall the battery and make sure the ignition is off while doing this,
  12. Hook up battery and ensure every thing that was loosened has been installed back on.
  13. Then You crank it to see if it will start.

Have you tried using a long extension? I pretty sure that is the only way to reach the bottom bolt.

2006 toyota corolla

Remove the starter & inspect the contacts inside the starter solenoid housing. If they are burnt and/or worn, you will get this condition. Replace the contacts and the plunger, or replace the starter. I change contacts in my shop 3-4 times a week. Quite a common failure. The clicking noise is the plunger hitting one contact, but not the other, due to wear.
