I wanted to know do i need a new starter

The starter itself might need cleaning of old dirt, grease, oil, or crud inside, but I think your starter solenoid is failing. The contacts in it are probably pitted and failing.
Those starters are pretty bullet-proof. Don't exchange it for a cheap alternative. Just replace or repair the solenoid.

My 93 Lexus LS400 won't start. It clicks and according to the battery charger it has a full charge. when i first turn the ignition is slowly wines down then clicks. let me know. thanks

your battery isn't fully charged, or your battery contacts need to checked/cleaned!! The starter isn't getting enough power, this is the reason for the slow spin and clicks.

probable starter motor
if you can get at it have someone turn key to start and tap on starter with something it may start. it also proves a bad starter

Starter just clicks, battery hot,when turning key some times the starter will work. i suspect starter solenoid?

Yes your right its the soleniod, might need the wires cleaning up that connect to the starter motor sometimes they go rusty so the connection is not good enough, worth cleaning before you replace it.

92 Lexus LS400 only clicking noise when I turn key to start

There are a number of things that could cause that. Try turning the key to the on position and crossing the starter terminals with a screwdriver. If it starts you have a bad ignition. If it still just clicks your starter has seized up or your battery might be lacking the charge to do the job. Hope these help you.

Recently replaced starter, car turns over but won't start

Anti-Deterrent ECU:
This is also possibility especially someone else drive your car. This is very common if you lend your car to someone. The symptom of this condition is "No noise or sound at all" when ignition key is turned. If this is faulty, the symptom will be the complete ignition kill. Therefore, you will not heard and clicking sound or engine turning at all. If this is the problem, you can easily reset the Anti-Deterrent by using your key. Stand out side of the car and close all doors. Insert the key into the driver side door and turn the key to clockwise and counterclockwise for three four cycles. Basically, you are lock, unlock for 4 times and this procedure will reset the anti-deterrent ECU. If this happen to you, its quite scary at first, but the solution is very simple.
