Celica 2004 (140) Starting Problems

[JayLeeds]

Hi, i have a 2004 celica which is struggling to start, first thing on a morning it will usually start but after driving it the majority of the time it wont start again until it has been sat for 4-5 hours and even then it struggles to start. i can hear what sounds like the starter spinning? but it can take anywhere from 10-20 turns to start and sometimes just wont at all. though the car will bump off in 2nd gear fine. it seems to be getting worse each day. i should add only a few weeks ago it had the head gasket and timing chain replaced and the issues began not long after that.

any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Forgot to add i replaced the Battery a few days ago but that hasn't made a difference.

Suggest you do a code read..it might just point you in the right direction.

....otherwise it's a process of elimination...plugs, coil pack..etc.
