The starter solenoid is staying engaged internal. replace starter solenoid or starter you'll be fine. good-day. If it makes a rattle (clak.clack.clak) before it catches it's just worn teeth on the fly wheel and it goes away. If the starter isn't engaged by the selonoid but it has power it's defective. If that still isn't it it's either the wireing to the starter or the switch itself

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.

When i turn my key, i hear clciking and finally the car turns on after about 20 turns. sometimes contact is made, but not all the way and sounds like it gets stuck in the middle and stops, so i have to...

this is caused by a bad starter, i would also check to make sure the battery connections are clean and tight, this is common on forgein cars, you get a click and as you kepp cycling the key it makes the connection inside the starter and starts, 99% of the time its a bad starter it will get to a point soon where it doesnt start anymore and you will get stuck. hope this is helpful.

How do I change the starter on a 99 avalon

Could be your starter, sounds like your starter soloinoid(pulls starter gear into flywheel) might be defective. First it will not pull gear in, then if it sticks in your car could keep starting even if the key was turned off .
without looking at the car I could'nt say how hard it would be to change. It has been my observation that newer cars are much more difficult to change

99 avalon starts runs fine shut off wont start unless jumped then continues to start several tinn=mes until this happens again?

Sounds like either the voltage regulator or altenator is bad. Most part stores will test altenator, battery, and starter for free in the vehicle or out. Double check relays and cable connections
