Your Toyota Starlet's battery is discharged
This is without a doubt the most common concern, and probably the easiest to fix. The headlights of this Toyota Starlet stayed on for hours, the bulb in the passenger compartment of your car, or just the ignition on, etc. Anything that could use electricity while engine is off may be the source of the problem. However, it also happens if the battery is very old, or even alternator. To check if the battery of this Toyota Starlet is flat there is a very affordable way. If the intensity of the headlights is abnormally low, that means it's a battery problem! On the other hand, in the case where the headlights work correctly, it means that the concern comes from elsewhere. To charge the battery, you probably know how to do it, and you have to think about systematically having cable in your trunk. It is also possible that thimbles of the battery be oxidized. Then just open the hood and check if they turn out to be dirty. From then on you will be able to remove the dirt thanks to a dusting machine. If this does not work, you will need to change the battery.
The starter of the Toyota Starlet is worn
It is less common than a dead battery, however it can still happen sometimes. To understand what you need to do it is necessary to understand what a starter is for on this Toyota Starlet. The latter is a kind of engine inside the engine. Its role is different because it is fully electric. It is the latter that will start the engine, and the electricity required for its activity comes from the battery. To give it a second life sometimes you just have to hit a few small strokes above so as to take off the coals in order to leave the electricity circulate.
Your Toyota Starlet's engine is flooded

It’s something that happens especially when it’s cold. Generally, you can perceive it when trying to start and there is a lively gasoline smell. Sometimes you just have to wait about 20 minutes and the problem will be gone. On petrol cars it is also possible to dry petrol at the level of spark plugs however it is a technique contraindicated for beginners mechanics.
