1995 toyota camry not starting

[HMGDRFTER]

okay im not sure whats wrong i think it might be the fuel pump but im not sure... the car is not starting at all.. when i turn the key you hear like a really light click thats about it, the battery has power, and everything seems okay but it just won't start, it won't even attempt to turn over so it could be the starter but when i hit it a couple times car still doesn't start up. and im not sure it could be the dizzy too but i doubt it b/c it won't even try to crank, my only leads as of now is a starter or a new fuel pump. any ideas?

might need a stronger battery

no the battery is the right one b/c its been working... just all sudden won't start anymore, put the battery in the teg and the teg started up fine.

starter solenoid.

Since it is a Toyota, it could be just worn out starter contacts. New starter contacts and/or repair kits (starter contacts with a new plunger) are usually kept in stock at Toyota dealerships.

i got the starter checked at autozone it passes, so do you think the starter contact could cause it not to start? also i checked the fuel pump its working, and the starter is working, so i don't know what else there is, unless the main relay or some kind of relay is messed up... any ideas?

fuel- check, spark- ?, air- i'm sure it's there check to see if you have spark if the starter is good. you can always hear the fuel pump prime and the main relay is what makes the click noise when you turn the key once/twice. you could have a bad igniter in the dizzy, bad plugs, or wires? i don't know seems like you have checked most things. could even be the contacts on the dizzy cap are corroded(spelling?). it's prob something really simple i would bet on it.

Open up the starter and visually inspect the starter contacts and plunger. They wear down and/or get corroded over time causing starting issues. Contact between the starter contacts and plunger usually can still occur so this is probably why it passed a starter check. Google is your friend on Toyota starter contacts related material.

im 100% its not the dizzy b/c if it was the dizzy the car would try to start but just won't crank, it'll try to start but never start thats the spark issue, my issue is that i have nothing, im begining to think that it's just the starter.

mayb you're just out of gas.

idk, my cluster says i have more than a half tank left, plus i opened up the gas thing b/c i didn't have a pressure tester to see if gas was comin in and it was, plus even if it didn't have any gas it would still try to crank right now i have nothing, only the cluster lights come on.

sounds like a starter solenoid/relay

if it was the dizzy or fuel pump it would try to crank but never fire up how many volts is the battery getting.

sorry i misread the light clicking. starter or battery or as another poster said corrosion in the contacts. it's gonna be something really simple on the starter or the amps getting to the starter correctly. i know my dad's del sol starter went bad a couple years ago and it would click and after tapping it would start just to get it home. if the battery is ok it's gotta be in the starter then.
