Toyota lucida that was running fine then suddenly stopped,lights came up on dash then the engine died,tried to restart but the starter motor just clicked.i have changed the starter but it still clicks and the engine wont turn over.

Most probaby engine starter, but also possible battery low amperage.

Sounds like you forze up the engine.

with the details that you have provided, it sounds like it may be either a ground, or ignition relay, but I've also encountered the same problem being the starter wire to the starter. The reason I think that is because of your dash lights coming back on .If you have use of a voltmeter you can test and see how much power is actually going to the starter An ignition relay could do the same, but usually won't interrupt the engine after it's running.

Seems like a bad battery terminal connection to me, try having someone hold the terminals while you crank it. Check where the wires bolt onto the terminals too. Could also be a fault in the ignition switch.

seems like you need an alternator try charging your battery star the engine and take off negative cable if engine dies it's your alternator. did you have an alternator light on in the dash

And I am sure the car is gutless. There is little that you can do with it if it has died. You might be able to find another one at a scrap dealer and it is not too difficult to do the change over. The cost of a new one will bring tears to your eyes but the 2c engine is bulletproof and will give you thousands of miles of hassle free travelling. The older turbo engines need to be idled for a couple of minutes after a run to let the turbo wind down. If you don't they will run without oil and suffer premature failure.

We cannot understand what you are talking about Let me know so we can help but with a jumble of words that dont make any sence we can not help you

There are various things this could be ie inhibitor switch on auto box relays wiring fault or ignition barrel problems try putting the starting the car in N instead of P and wiggle gear lever about other option bypass everything and connect a live feed straight to starter motor cranking wire which is located on the starter motor, if car still wont turn over tap starter motor with a hammer, if hammer trick works then you need a new starter

check the starter

Hello Friend,
Pull out the spark pugs so, there is no longer compression. Put a wrench on the crankshaft pully. The engine will turn and the pistons will travel up and down. This is of course it the engine hasn't seized. If the engine turns its the starter. Simple.
