My Tundra Starts Intermittently

My Tundra has an intermittent starting problem. Yesterday, when turning the key, it just clicked. I charged the battery, tried jumping and even cleaned, reinstalled and tightened the battery connections. (Battery and alternator seem ok, as electrical systems are working. Lights are bright and don't seem to dim preceptably even when attempting to start. After all work with the battery I attempted to start agein, still only clicking. This monring without doing anything else, it started just fine.

You have a defective starter solenoid, the heavy contacts are burned in side the solenoid.

Welcome to Fixya

Check the starter cable. This usually happens when there is a loose cable connection. Try this step when you experience tha problem again. Get a hammer, or equivilent, and find the starter, most likely from underneath, and hit it firmly a couple of times, not a full on swing, just a nice strong tap. Try to hit harder if it doesn't work on the 1st try. Just don't break anything. If it STARTS after you TRY THIS, then its DEFINITELY your starter..... the solenoid is stuck. Time for a new starter.

Thank you for using Fixya!

When you turn the key it goes "click, click, click" and continues until you turn the key off. Please help. It started just fine yesterday!

check battery wires are tight and clean.Also do the same at the starter.If they are fine then your solinoid is the fault.

I have a 96 Olds Cutlass Supreme that intermittently won't start

If the lights on the dash all come on but the engine wont turn over it could be a problem with the VAT security system. Your key has a little chip on it between the teeth and the handle. This is a common problem with GMs', often just replacing the key is necessary but sometimes the VAT module needs to be replaced.

2002 Hyundai Elantra not starting intermittently

The whirring sound is more than likely your fuel pump. Give it a few seconds to build up pressure before cranking or have the pump replaced.
