wife complained truck would not start. opened up the door and noticed that the dome light was on so i assumed the battery was good. turned the key and got nothing but a bunch of clicks from under the hood. after another attempt at starting it the cooling fan started up and turned on and off several times and continued after i removed the key. tried starting it again and it started. when i returned home from work that evening i figured that i would check it out again. this time when i opened the door not one light came on. first attempt to start the truck was not successful. each time i turned to key to the 'on' position something would start to work. first the 'service engine soon' light, then the a/c fans, dome light, then finally everything came on. i tried to start it a second time and it started but idled very rough. after about a minute it was running smoothly. turned it off and it started up no problem. it does have a half second starter lag when first cranked but always starts. about a month ago i got a knock sensor warning but has gone away after filling up with premium.
