2010 tacoma v6 sr5 prerunner, 124,000 miles.

this Tacoma starts after several days of not starting. brand new battery.turn key on and get nothing but a click. after a few days it start up ok.what could be the problem?

 

Battery terminal cleaned?
Cables cleaned? Tight?
Check the battery voltage when off and when on?

Starter? Or starter relay? I just googled how to check a starter without taking it out - looks like it’s just a jumper but do at your own risk. I’d prolly do the relay route to start. Check the cabling to it as well.

I’d take the time to do the cleaning of MAF and throttle body but they’d be more an issue if it’s turning over at least.

 

Welcome to TW. First and foremost is clean and tightened the battery terminals. If that doesn't fix your issue, its likely a failing starter. If you have access to another vehicle, you can remove the starter along with the battery and take it to an auto parts store to test both.

 

I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY. CABLE CLEANED AND TIGHT.WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON NO STATER TURNING OVER JUST A CLICK AND FEW DAYS LATER STARTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.I BELIEVEED ITS THE STARTER AND SOLINOID.THANKS.

 

Had the same thing happened to me, replaced the starter problem solved!!
