Problem for Chevrolet 2001 Tahoe

01 Chevy Tahoe, Only starts when it wants to




By militarypol2 on Jul 20, 2009

" "
Every once in a while (about once a day) my SUV won't start. I have a fairly new battery and have not had any power loss once so ever. The starter engages and the vehicle turns over but within 1 second it dies off. I've checked all fuses and all spark plugs. Everything seems to be connected. After waiting aprx. 10-15 min the vehicle starts up without a problem. No warning lights on the display. It sounds to be running perfectly fine. I have taken it to a mechanic and it started for him 2 dozen times without a problem. It doesn't matter if the vehicle sits for 12 hours or 5 minutes. It has a mind of its own.

He's right my truck did the same thing only it cut off when ever it got ready. I also had problems cranking in the mornings. Change the sensor and I havn't had any more problems. The Sensor is located right above your starter. (You have to remove the starter) The part was 50 bucks. She drive like a champ now
