So yesterday I started looking for CB radios... just feels like a nice thing to have for off roading.
You all probably know my theory that my truck senses when I am about to do something cosmetic or related to creature comforts. Well when I went to drive to the gym this morning I turned the key, the started cranked a few times like normal and then it sounded as though it was just spinning. I heard the whrrrrr but not the chug-chug that sounds like the engine turning over. I backed off the key and tried again and it started right up.
After leaving the gym the symptoms were the same but lasted much longer. It really sounds like something spinning but not engaging.
Some may recall my ignition issues over the summer - there were times that I'd crank the starter for 30 seconds - 1 minute at a time. Any chance I have burned it out?
Before I get into hard core diagnostic work, could this be related to my adjusting the timing this weekend? It really seems to be running well with the ever so light retarding that I did, I can't imagine its so far off that it would manifest this way - particularly with the sound.
