1991 toyota truck starting issue

I have a 1991 toyota 22re every now and then it doesnt want to start i turn the key and all i get is a click from the relay if i cycle the key off and on it will start. I have put 4 starters in, wired a ground directly to the starter, bypassed both the switches on the clutch pedal, and switched out the starter relay and still no success

This is a common problem with these trucks and I am having the same one. It is frustrating however searching the forum and finding the same lame advise. I know there are some very good advise on here it is just hidden among the BS... Good luck with your problem, going to follow this thread and hopefully we can both find a way through this... Mine is a 93 22 re seems like it is getting worse sometimes I will have to cycle the switch several times before it will go ahead and roll off. have good battery and have tryed bypassing clutch switch but still does the same thing...

What relay clicks? COR? Starter relay? Starter solenoid (heavy duty relay that also actuates mechanical part)?

I have put 4 starters in, wired a ground directly to the starter, bypassed both the switches on the clutch pedal, and switched out the starter relay and still no success
Blindly replacing things without verifying and understanding how the starting system works is a waste of time and money. At the end of the day, you're still not sure how you fixed it and when it will happen again.

22RE starting system specific to 1986-1988 Runners explained here.

Please let us know if your generation has similar circuit.

If it works, AND/OR if your starting cirrcuit is wired same as 1986-1988 22RE, pls let us know so others can also address the issue.
