The fuel relay will activate for 3-5 seconds every time you turn the key on. It should not keep the engine from cranking. I have seen problems with the ignition switch that will keep the truck from cranking. Make sure that the battery connections and clean and tight. Check to see if 12 volts are getting to the starter when you try to crank it. Hold the key in the start position and while holding it, strike the starter with a hammer. If it starts , replace the starter.
turn over means , ZERO !
does the starter turn over or does the crank shaft turn over.?
see that gross ambiguity?
engines CRANK , the starter can spin fast and the crankshaft sits still.
then starts (EFI does this part, spark and fuel)
then sustain start called running. (EFI keeps to so...)
its 3 steps, which does yours fail. no crank>?
if confused, look at the crank shaft damper pulley.
you can see the actually crank spin .
most folks know the sound of cranking is good. a very unique sound.
Bad neutral safety switch, starter relay, starter fuse or bad ignition switch. You will have to check each of those things to find what's keeping the current from reaching the starter, when you try cranking.
hi this might be a fault with your starter motor or starter motor solinoid you can try..getting a friend to turn the key in ignition as if they were trying to crank engine, at same time they do this, hit the starter with somthing like hammer or long bar, make sure you are not near any moving parts , as if it does crank you might get caught in them, just keep tapping it if it starts you have a faulty starter and will need replacing....hope this helps...be safe
If starter was not engaging yesterday could be a starter or battery starting to go bad could have that problem again, cam and crank sensor will not stop the starter from turning the engine, the motor will not start up and just keep cranking.Hope this was very helpful.
Make sure car is cold. Battery must be fully charge. Make sure all battery connections and to starter and engine/body are clean and tight. Have someone cranks the car as you check for cranking power to the starter solenoid;it is the smaller wire on the solenoid which you may need to remove. Do this test at least ten times using a 12volts test light. If power on every crank, it definitely sound like starter acting up. Keep me informed.
