Look up on here the starter relay mod. I had the exact same issue with mine and when I took the car in to have my mechanic swap it ( because I just didn't have the time ) he said that changing it didn't fix the problem. So he did the starter relay mod, and now it starts the first time everytime. He said the mod might have cost around $15.

Ha, maybe fix the signal wire before you go doing pointless "mods". The "relay mod" is a bandaid, and a poor one IMO.

You also mentioned you replaced the starter, but you didnt say new. So, is it new?
Clicking starter for an 80's toyotas is incredibly common and due to worn contacts inside the solenoid. You can just replace the contacts, or the starter.
