My problem
I've been having this problem for a while and it got worse. Everytime i start my car it makes a click noise i turn the key again and it starts. at first i though i was not holding the clutch all the way in but now it takes me about 3-4 clicks before it starts. What could be the problem and how much would it cost? I dont know too much about cars. Also another problem i have is a noise that comes from the rear when i brake. it sounds like the muffeler is scratching the floor when i hit the brake (usually the noise happens 3 sec before the car goes in to stop. i thought it was the brake pads but they are goodand the noise comes from the back of the car.
Thanks everyone |

Re: My problem
The starter motor could be binding due to worn bushings. Could be a faulty connection to the starter or battery.
the noise from the rear- something worn or loose in the suspension debri between the brake pads and the rotors do the pads have wear sensors? did you check both the inboard and outboard pads? |

Re: My problem
A clicking starter is a common problem with Toyota starters. Most often, the problem is sticking starter solenoid contacts. See the following links for descriptions on how to replace them. This is a really cheap and easy fix and should be the first thing you try after you check all the cable connections and the battery quality.
