i have an 86 yota it dosent start once and awhile when it dosent start there is no response from the engine at all but the dash lights come on and the battery is new the starter is new but the battery has leaked but only once could that be a sign of over charging and has new ground cables anyone no whats going on

Seems very obvious, but if the battery terminals have a poor connection it will have intermittent starting problems. If it's been leaking acid for a while it may have corroded between the battery posts and the terminals. Clean up the connection, tighten it back together and put a light layer of vaseline around to protect it.

If it clicks but won't start, there's a common starter contact repair that may fix it:
