Intermittent no start

[copracr]

Sometimes when I try to start the truck it just cranks without firing. I can crank for a while and its not even trying to fire. But if I turn the ignition off and try again it will start within 2 seconds.

Anyone ever experience this?

What Dave said and.... Check & Clean yer Battery cable connections ?

Sorry, I thought I did. I'm in an early 99 7.3L 6spd 2wd. Cable connections are great too. It cranks well, but intermittently won't fire. Like I said though, if I turn it off and try again it fires right up.

And I did have the cps recall done but that didn't help any.

I guess that isnt a common issue.

Could it be something with the ignition switch that sometimes doesn`t contact properly?Just thought I would throw that out there.

Check all the ground wires under the hood ?

There's a bunch of things under the hood that are Independenly grounded...on the fenders, firewall, radiator support.. and so on.

Yep, I even wait when its hot out. But thiss issue has been happening all summer (i'm in ohio).

I guess I'll try going through all the grounds I can find under the hood.
