SR 5 pickup starting problem
I have a very perplexing & frustrating problem with my 1993 SR5 V6 pickup. For about 6 months now the truck will suddenly & randomly not start. It has happened about 4 times, each time several weeks to a couple of months apart. I turn the ignition & NOTHING happens. Then, some time later, maybe an hour or whenever, it will start again & have no problem starting for weeks. No sputtering, no having to crank it a few times, it will start perfectly. Then, suddenly, it happens again.
When it won't start there seems to be nothing I can do (except pop-starting, which does work) to get it going except to wait. Jumping has no effect. Pumping the clutch or jiggling the ignition have no effect. The lights, dash, other battery-related things are fine. It has done this both cold & when I have been running it.
Any suggestions? MEchanics have some thoughts but the 2 times I have taken it in, it has started for them just fine & so they can't find where in the system there is a problem. Check-over of battery terminals & cables are clear. ????????????????????
