89 Toyota Supra N/A won't crank

Above info sounds about right.

Starters have a nasty habit of wearing out the brushes (that the current flows thru). The starter may stop spinning (after starting the engine) in a spot that the worn brushes have a problem with getting enough current to flow to spin it up next time.

Many times you can pull a starter out of the car, and test it on the floor, and it seems to work ok. But, its on the floor, you were having trouble, why put it back in??? Get a reman and put it in. They don't cost very much.
