84 Camry Starter

[mmstorage]

I have a 84 Camry with 200,000 miles on a replaced engine. The car runs well except for the starter.

I seem to have to replace the starter once a year. This past year, my replacement lasted only 5 months. Since then, I have replaced the starter pnce every month for the last three months.

I drive the car and stop. When I try to restart, I have problems. I usually hit the starter and then it works.

Sometimes, I drive for 100 miles then stop for 45 minutes and I have problems stsrting. Sometimes I start and stop 4 times in a day and the last time the car won't start. Sometimes, it won't start from the get go in the am.

In all cases, I have to hit the starter. Eventually, the car starts. Most of themechanics just want to replace the starter. It seems that this is not solving the problem.

I also have had a tuneup but this does not seem to solve the problem.

What is the real problem??????

HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
