When I start the truck it turns over but chug chug chug and then it dies... it doesn't seem to want to fire up.. sometimes it will fire up for a brief second and then it dies.. I just had a tune up, all belts, spark plugs, rotor, and wires changed was told the fuel injectory looked fine (don't know how trustable that opinion is)
If I wait a few minutes it has always started.. one time I had to wait 20 minutes
This does not happen all the time.. probably 1 in every 18 times I go to start it up it does this..
What could it be.. any ideas.. thanks
