Running out of gas could cause crank, no start but no no crank.

It would be a good car for where you live and despite having some issues with it as of late it's been a good truck. The only thing is it sucks balls in the winter.

You've got water in the gas. Any way you can drop a hose down the tank a slurp up a sample to see if you can taste water???

Automatic? I think those things had a park switch to not let it go in gear. Something could be worn out there.

RE: click. Is it a single click or a rapid click?

If it’s a single click the solenoid isn’t engaging. Your starter is ****ed. Unless it has an external solenoid.

If it is rapid clicking you aren’t getting enough power to the solenoid. Probably a battery cable if it will periodically hit. Could also be a wire on the starter.



That trick made a bunch of farmers dead.
