So, here's what's going on. About a month ago I began having trouble starting my truck. Sometimes, I crank and crank and crank until it finally starts up. Sometimes it starts, but then immediately dies. Today it cranked and then died immediately five tries in a row before I was able to get it running.
I had the IAC valve replaced two weeks ago, obviously didn't solve anything. Whether related or not, I get a P0401 error code.
Also, don't know if this helps or not, but a lot of the time I can punch the accelerator right before it dies and it starts and revs right up. Once started, I don't notice any major problems.
Forgot to mention, MAF sensor is nice and clean.
