When starting truck engine just turns over. Willnot start. Started on yesterday seem like it wanted to die off but it kept running. Parked for hours started up drove 7 minutes to gas station full tank of gas. Wouldn't start. SAet for 10 minutes started up. Went to start now it just turns over will not start. SOme times smells like something is burning while driving. Please tell me what it could be. This is happening to much.d

intermittents are sometimes hard to diagnose out !! and this seems as one , im curious though what made them wiggle the relays and fuses ?? was there a previous problem there ?? depending on year of manufacture of car , is weather or not the cars own pcu can help diagnose what made car stop , as later models "remember " what there last condition was that shut off engine , of course this requires diagnostic equipment to see this info that typically car owners don't own , but a qualified service tech does and knows how to use it to find your problem

I would want to know if you have at least 12 volts at the battery posts, and also at the starter. You need to know if the cables are causing the problem, or something else.
Once the engine starts, it should be running off the alternator, but it still needs the battery in the circuit.

Have you checked the fuel pressure when the not start occurs? Buy a can of engine starting fluid, next time this happens spray it into the air intake of the engine, if it starts right up you have an issue with the electric fuel pump rotor sticking due to wear of the bearings it rotates in. You also will need the control module for the ABS scanned the next time the lights are on, there will be a code for the problem, this is essential to figure out where to look for the problems in the system.

Could be your crank sensor has gone bad.

Sounds like either you have a clogged fuel line and or clogged fuel filter or the fuel pump is failing. What happens when the vehicle runs the fuel pump heats up, as it heats up it produces less and less fuel for your car. Eventually ti stops working until its cool again on faulty pumps. Given the age of your vehicle I would say you need to replace both pump and filter.

Hi, there will be diodes in the generator that are letting the power from the battery drain away through the parked times when not in use. to prove it charge the battery- then disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, connect 24 hours later and see if the battery as kept it charge, if so - fit new alternator, good luck.

Most likely the battery and possibly the alternator are bad.

Probably the battery. Take it the chain auto parts place and they will test it for you.

I recently solved the very same problem on my tribute. I really needed a tune up, Plugs, fuel filter, pcv valve, cleaned throttle body, and mass air flow sensor.My problem went away, and engine runs great and idles perfect.. If you havent had a tune up recently maybe this will help you.

Overdrive light flashing is a warning to alert the driver there is a problem with the transmission . DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the transmission control module . Have it check !
