drcomanche Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Every now and then, when I go to start my truck, it will turn over once or twice and then stop. If I try it immediately after, it won't crank, but if I wait about 20 seconds and try, it will start up just fine. I have never had a problem getting it started after waiting. Is this a sign of something going bad in the system? I would like to find out before catastrophic failure takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 First off, clean your battery cables and terminals. How are the other ends of those cables? Covered in oil? Starter covered in oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcomanche Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Terminals are good. Cleaned it all off a while ago. No oil on the terminals, but because of my rear main leak, the starter has some on it. And on another note, today was the first day where it did the one crank then stop every time I tried to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
