98 Avensis Starting Prob

[barndoor]

Hi, have a ‘98 1.8 GS which has done 92K, seem to have a intermittent starting prob, sometimes when you turn the key, you just hear the click of a relay from the passenger side dash? Then nothing, sometimes it try’s, but does not start, but if you turn the key so all dash lights are on for about 8-10 secs, it usually starts,

Read elsewhere on this forum it may be ignition switch, or could it be starting relay?

Any help would be great

:)
