I replaced the radiator over the weekend along with some other things. Had it in the garage. Ran into no problems.
Pulled the truck out of the garage yesterday and parked it in the driveway. It started fine and it ran fine.
Tonight I go to start the truck and it cranks but doesn't turn over. It doesn't click like a dead battery would. Just cranks, over and over. I shut it off, and turned the key to prime the fuel pump. Still just cranked. Did this for about 5 minutes. It was dark/cold and I needed to go to work so I can't really look at it until the morning.
I replaced the fuel pump relay a month ago because I was experiencing a weird problem in that when I would go to the gym, and be there for an hour/two, when I came back out to my truck and started it up, it would hesitate and sort of idle weird/start up slower. It would actually do this if I shut the truck off after running and with in a short time start it back up with be a little hesitant. Tap the gas pedal and it would be fine after starting and would run/drive as normal.
I replaced the IAC and TPS for new ones back in the summer. Truck has new spark plugs, coil pack, and wires. Everything 100% OEM.
This has only happened one other time about 2-3 months ago when I was at work in the parking garage when I went to start the truck it would just crank. Not turn over. I waited about 5 minutes and then the truck started. The truck drives fine other wise. No loss of power or stumbling at all when driving.
But tonight it did not turn over. I was trying to listen IF I could hear the fuel pump making that priming noise and I gotta be honest I wasn't 100% sure I heard that whine noise that it always makes...
I would imagine the fuel pump is probably 17 years old/original to the truck.
The injectors original to the truck at least to my knowledge.
What should I be doing/ checking. I did take the relay out and put it back in but that didn't solve anything. It's been super cold the last couple days at like 10' F. But again it started right up yesterday afternoon. Tonight nothing. The anti roll switch isn't popped but I will check this again tomorrow in the morning.
*Edit: No check engine lights or anything blinking. Nothing pending either.
Thanks,
