With an ex. solenoid (All old rangers) a volt meter and a screwdriver (dad's favorite), you can test a battery and starter in less than a minute.

Well whatever the **** it is I've been able to start it up the 7 times I've tried and I really do think the way its parked helps but I have no ****ing clue. Atleast now hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the shop instead of getting it towed. Small victories.

I used to have a 1998 Dodge Caravan that must have had the fuel pump way in the back of the tank, because if it had less than 1/8 of a tank and I parked it downhill, it would not start. But it didn't click, it would just crank and crank but never fire.

his truck goes "click" if it was a neutral switch (LOL) or no fuel it wouldn't click..
FYI a car parked on an angle should start and then die, then crank, no start. I don't want to explain, just accept it's the truth

If it's just a single click, I'll bet it's the bendix in the starter getting jammed up. A dead battery will cause a rapid, repeated clicking in the solenoid.

Buy a car that isn't 23 years old. I've had good luck with 5-10 year old used cars.

Starter is ****ed. Get it to a shop or get one bought ASAP. You can get a hammer and hit the starter. It will work until it won't.
I had a 300 Ford on an irrigation well and it did the same thing. I tried to make it a summer. It worked once. |
