Topic: 88runner starts when it wants

[bluerunner]

and then this is me and the starter   then it starts right up.

anyone got any ideas, i replaced it once, worked for a bit then it started being stupid.

If your having to hit on it to get it to work then chances are it probably has a dead spot and will need replacing.It may just be a loose connection so check the connections first and then if the problem still exists then it probably needs replacing.

yeah, i was told it might be a dead spot, but i wanted to check with the yota guys first, thanks

Damn  , I thought your meant your truck started all by itself...I was gonna be jealous of your AI wheeler!

i swear that sometimes it would rather be offroad more than i would the way it pulls to the side of the road!

check your connections...most likely a dead spot, how are your grounds? make sure you haven't got 'em loose or ripped off.

i wonder if it could be from a poor connection on the ground for the negative cable

it's possible,check all the connections,if your not sure about them then take them apart and clean them,but chances are if you have to hit it then it's probably bad.
