Default Poss starter problem

Yesterday morning I got in the car and it wouldn't start just clicked!! like the starter wouldn't kick in!!

This morning The same thing happened only it took five "clicks" and then it fired up as normal ???

For the rest of the day it starts normal and runs great like it always has?? anyone have any ideas??

Please - Could the starter be on it's way out or could it be the battery???

If it is the starter how do i check it? and where the hell is it??

Your soleniod contacts may be worn, as they are only a 6 dollar item get the one on the output side of the starter soleniod replaced, as these wear out.

This is a known Lexus / Toyota problem.
