Check for voltage on the purple wire at the starter when turning the key to START. If no power, check for power at the purple wire coming out of the neutral switch/clutch switch. If no power, check for power coming into switch on yellow wire. If no power, check for power on yellow wire at ign switch. If no power, check for power coming into IGN switch on red wire. If no power, you've got a blown fusible link.

Agree, it sounds like the starter and it happens often on old Camry. When was the last time you had the starter replaced? The cartalk guys once suggested getting a mallet and bang on the starter and it will work. Eventually you will need a replacement. It is way cheaper to go to junkyard and get a used one (ask them to test before buy).

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

check for aloose alternator belt, these are famous for the alternator mounting bolts breaking off and causing the alternator to become loose allowing the belt tension to back off and be loose enough to slip on high rpm causing your condition... at least check alt and battery voltage, especially alternator charging output, go to adiscount autoparts store like autozone or kragens and have then preform a free alt check... on car... please rate my help thanks...
