This is a Toyota 2007 yaris with 114,000 miles on it. It clicks between 3-6 times before starting. After driving a bit and and stopping if i go restart it , then it will start right away without clicking/struggling. No check engine light or maintenance required light comes on.

Any suggestions before i pay a big bill to fix it?

Is this a issue related to the starter possibly going bad?

I also read this could be the fuel/gas lines need to be cleaned?

Low battery possibility?

Thanks in advance.

Clicking before starting is usually an indication of low battery, but with 114k miles it could also be that the starter solenoid is not engaging.
