Check your ground...I had the same problem and found that I didn't have a good ground. I just added an additional ground cable from the battery to the block and haven't had a problem since. If that doesn't work then you might be lookin at a new starter. Good Luck

i had this problem to for a while.
it would have to click like 30 times and then finally turn over.
i checked EVERYTHING and got a new starter, battery cable, the works.

after dealing with it clicking for like 2 months none of the dash lights came on.
it might be your ignition switch thats what my problem was.
i havent had a problem since.

putting a part store platinum peice o crap remanufactured starter on my yota was the dumbest thing I ever did to it. I would take a used oem starter with new contacts any day.

but first check your power and ground cable connections and make sure your wires are not corroded under the loom/tape
