Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Cycling the key on and off several times before you crank it, allows the fuel pump to prime the system.
How long since a tune-up? Are there any applicable trouble codes?

Have a 1988 Landcruser sometimes when I switch on the ignition relay clicks engine will turn but will not start on turning key on and off a few times once the relay doesn’t click engine will start what...

possible problem is a weak fuel pump. The fuel pump relay will engage for about five seconds each time the key is turned to the start position. If the fuel pump is weak then there is nor enough pressure to fire the injectors until the key is recycled several times. You should connect a fuel pressure tester to the fuel system to see if that is what is happening. Try turning the key on and off several times waiting 3 or 4 seconds between turns and then all the way to start.

How to turn off change oil light on the 2004 Chevy Colorado Pick-up truck ?

1. Turn the ignition to ON do not start.Engine OFF dash board lights ON.
2. Press and release the reset button in the driver information center (DIC) until the OIL LIFE message is displayed.
3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET messages appear on the DIC display, press and hold the reset stem until several beeps sound. This confirms the OIL LIFE system has been reset.
4. Turn the key to lock. If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on when you start the engine, the ENGINE OIL LIFE system has not reset. Repeat the procedure
Alternate Method
1. Turn the ignition key to ON with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. Several beeps sound. This confirms the oil life system has been reset.
3. Turn the ignition key OFF.
4. If the CHANGE/OIL message comes back on when you start the engine, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure
I use the second method, it is more universal and it works for Chevy Venture too.

Hard to start

Turning the ignition key's on and off is leading me to a dirty fuel filter or a bad fuel pump sending unit. Pumping the accelerator peddle does nothing but keep your figure since the engine is fuel injected. Check your fuel pressure at the shredder valve, you should have 60PSI to 65PSI when the key's are at the run position and should drop around 5PSI when the engine is running. There is also a valve at the fuel pump to energize the fuel line and when that goes bad you lose you prim fuel pressure to start the engine. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.

1999 Toyota Corolla CE. For about 2 months, the engine does not start immediately. I need to turn the ignition key several times until it starts. Each time when I turn the key, a clicking sound happens...

it sounds like either your having a short at the starter or the ignition switch is bad, I am leaning towards the issue being the starter, usually when the ignition switch is going bad there will be no click,
