    Two times in the past 4-5 months my 08 prerunner has left me sitting. First time, it sat all day and when I tride to leave work it wouldn't start. It would crank and crank but wouldn't start. One of the mechanics at work said it sounded like a fuel pump. He kicked around the gas tank a little and it started right up (coincidence??). Well it happened again yesterday with a full tank, it would crank and crank but not start. I couldnt hear if the fuel pump was starting up. I think you should hear it click when you turn the key on. I left the truck at work overnight and this morning it started right up and has started fine many times.
    What are some suggestions??

    Not sure if it's the same... but it seems like a while back I was having some issues with my 10 as it would stumble when it started... I had to crank it a few times on the rare occasion... I've since replaced the plugs and haven't encountered the issue. My truck had less than 30k at the time. It's a cheap "fix" to look at.
