    Toyota tacoma manual turns over but will not fire up
    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

    I agree with the coil. This sounds like one of the early year Tacoma's

2001 Toyota Tacoma [ 1 Answers ]

On occasion, about once a day, when I go to start the truck, nothing will happen. Shut the key off and try again and it will start fine. The battery is only 4 months old and is always strong. Does this sound like a ground or corroded terminal on starter? Any other suggestions
