My truck has had a seemingly intermittent problem since I purchased it about 6 months ago.
The problem is that the frame rail-mounted fuel pump will sometimes not engage on the first turn of the key. I sometimes have to turn the ignition key 3 or 4 times before I hear the little bugger buzzing and *poof* my truck fires right up.
However for the last couple months, the problem seemingly went away, and the pump would engage with every turn of the key, just like it should. But as of a week ago or so the Fuel Pump Goblin has returned.
Fuel pump relay perhaps? I thought maybe it could have to do with a crappy battery connection, my battery is old and kinda ratty and so are the battery cable terminals, and I've done various cleaning/spraying/adjusting and tightening on them over the months.
