Cleaned the lead. I thought it was fixed . I drove it into my shop today. shut it off and went to start it maybe in a 60 second window , and just clicks. Took several turns of the key to get it to crank.

update. I pulled the main starter wire at the battery cleaned it very well and bolted it back up. So far it starts every time . Lets see what happens over the next few days

When You say +- VE lead do you mean at the starter ? I have this issue normally if i dont drive the vehicle. but other times it seems random. It happnened the other day , and i put a battery charger on it turned it to 220 amp and it fired right up. If it was a neutral safety issue or a security...

I have a 1uz swapped cressida. The issue i have is it will not crank like the starter isnt getting enough juice. It had the original starter, so i replaced it ( autozone duralast) still had the issues. I thought it was a parasitic draw but it is not pulling any excessive amps when off. I also...

will a mx83 radiator work in a mx73?

My temp on the 1uz usually runs around 87 to 95 degrees even on the hottest days with my 3 core alum radiator and duel fan setup. But when turning a/c on it climbs to sometimes 104. Is this normal. The compressor is always on i will add when the a/c button is pushed . Im not sure if the...
