About one out of four start attempts fail. Turn the key...nothing. There is power to the dash, radio, fan, etc. If I open my door and rock the truck back and forth....then it will start. This has been going on for about 3 months. Does not appear to be related to weather, humidity, parking angles, etc.

So far I have replaced the starter, ignition coil, and air filter. The garage has also 'cleaned the sensors' although I don't know what sensors they have cleaned.

I am taking it back to the garage tomorrow but I get the feeling that they are out of ideas. Anyone ever seen anything like this?

 

I've come across this problem myself recently. All the lights work just wont attempt to start. Im checking the wiring on my starter, if you find a solution please let us know.
