EMERGENCY NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!!

[95Super Stroker]

ok guys thanks all tell him,then when he gets here i go through the electrical connections batt to starter thanks for all ur help very much appreciated

Starter going bad. With the starter next to the engine. If the soleniod is getting hot from the engine. It will sieze up not starting the truck. When you turn the key to start it it just does nothing. Sometimes it clicks. If you take a hammer you can beat it loose by tapping on the starter.

But what may have happened is enough time went by and the starter cooled off enough to allow the solenoid to work properly. Allowing the truck to be started.

As soon as he is back I would pull the starter and have it checked out.

same to my old 99. i use to jump the solenoid. or whatever that was on the passenger side under the hood on the fender wall.

[ryandamo]

same for me too, started seized up twice. Also had that relay jamstoyz was talking about crap out as well. Also it probably wasn't related at all but if you havend changed your cps in a while do it, better than getting stuck!

[wildchild]

So did he make it home / to his destination? I throw my .02 towards the CPS. Take it for what it's worth.

Being that it is an OBS, my $$ is on the fuel bowl heater or the CPS. Check fuse #22. It is a 30A maxifuse. Sometimes the fuel bowl heater shorts out and blows this fuse. It will cause a no-start when it does.

I know you probably have it figured out by now, but just an idea if you're still having trouble.

Good luck
