These answers by mechanics about dead batteries are amazing me. I am a girl...really into cars because I have had a few. I just had this problem in my 1989 classic Saab. The problem is your starter...The clicking sound means that the pin inside of the starter is not projecting itself and thats why when you turn your key you hear a clicking. Get your starter tested
crawl under truck and tap the starter with a hammer crawl under truck and tap the starter with a hammer
assuming the battery and cables are good and connected....check the ignition switch..:)
please answer my question. Ford truck 1999 V8 4.6 L does not start of park but in neutral sometimes Why.
Remove and replace the starter.
It could be a bad starter or a bad solenoid.... If you turn the key, but motor will not turn, listen for clicking... if it clicks, possibly bad starter. best option would be to beg steal or borrow a voltmeter and measure voltage at starter motor when key is turned......
Could be bad glow plugs.
the clicking, when first starting, could be either the starter getting bad or the cylinoid. the sluggishness when it finally starts can be a couple things. clogged fuel filter, or could need a tune up. maybe next fill-up put some fuel injector cleaner in your tank.
Look for a loose or corroded battery cable connection or a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch.
Weak battery or bad starter solenoid. Possibly a bad battery cable or corroded connection.
bad ground
odds are the sensor needs to be replaced
try a fuel filter change first

Car is another word for truck that starts with a "c".
becoz loaded truck has got more weight than the empty truck.....so becoz of which loaded truck has got more friction in tyres compared to empty truck...this may the reason why loaded truck starts slow than the empty truck
Buy you saying it then catches and starts makes it sounds more like a bad starter solinoid.
do the bolts on a 1990 pickup truck go in vertical or horizontal
