Hey guys, my 87 4runner 22re doesnt like starting anymore

Last week i redid the starter, cleaned up the 12v line to the starter, changed the contacts, new pluger. After that it started fine. Then i didnt touch the truck for 3 days, get in and the battery is low... so i keep trying to start it all i get is a click, again...click. so i roll down the driveway drop it into first and then it turns over and starts. Any idea what could be happening? i though i solved the problem with the starter contacts and plunger... now this

Thanks guys

i am having a starting issue, and read your post. regrettably I do not have any real help, but rather a question, what is the plunger?
my truck won't crank when it is parked on a hill pointing up, but only then.

get the battery load tested and test your truck for load draw.

Alright, il go test out my battery

also, do you have any procedures for load draw?

im thinking of just going out and buying a yellow top or a red top

have a well charged battery and check the amperes drawn from the battery when the key is off.

how do i do so?
start from the positive side of the battery then work my way to the fuses?
what should i be looking for?
