This is on a 1995 Tahoe 4wd.
Its got 159k on it. Never had any problems with it,
Alright. Mysteriously one day not long ago my truck decided to not want to start. I've messed with everything possible outside the actual ignition switch inside the cab. When I turn over the engine nothing happens. When I let off, sometimes it starts. Sometimes just turning the key normally it fires right up. Sometimes neither happens and I'm stuck frustrated and looking like an idiot sitting there turning my truck over for ten minutes.
I've talked to many people locally about this. I even called my father. Everyone gives a different solution. One says it's timing. The distributor might be off a tooth. One says it's the starter solenoid, the power wired for the coil is dirty. Another said I need to shoot some graphite in the key hole. Another said all the above and I probably should replace my ignition switch.
I'm not sure what I should do. This problem just randomly happened. Hopped in one day and nothing,
