My starter sometimes starts just fine and the next time will click 2-3 times then start. Occassionally, it will click 15-20 times and then start fine. Recently the engine rotates 1-2 times then sounds like electrical power is lost. The dash lights will dim and a clicking noise is heard every time the key is turned. The battery has been checked and terminals cleaned. I have had this same problem on my 1985 toyota truck on that truck I changed the starter two times and the ignition tumbler and still had the problem
That is a starter solenoid problem.
starter has its own solenoid. the big round thing besides the real motor.
it has contacts inside which could be worn out .
that is why sometimes it make contact and sometimes not.
tnx 4 using fixya,
