Starts up without rolling over

I have a 23 sr. When I start up after sitting about 5 to 15 minutes the truck starts up without rolling over and has a clunk at times. Seen a few forums where they have problem. No luck seeing what the actual problem was.

 

Still under warranty, take it to the dealer.

 

Welcome to TW..

 

Is this a new problem or something that has always happened. Also is this following a short drive when the engine doesn't warm up or after a long haul? Does it still happen following a fresh oil change?

I don't honestly think this is a problem. I would guess it's because it's hot and the fuel is very readily vaporized with the heat so it just happens to start on the first stroke.

 

Doesn't matter long haul or not. Fresh oil or old. That's what I'm thinking about the gas.i got a video to show dealer in case it doesn't do it. Normally never does when I try to show someone.
there booked till late August. Tried to talk to tech. They wouldn't let that happen.

 

Sorry to ask but what is "rolling over"?

 

Sounds like the truck starts without the engine rotating... i'm with you on the explanation. Trouble understanding the actual issue.

OP, maybe you can better explain the issue, or upload that video you mention to youtube and paste the link into here.

 

Booked til August? That's less than a week away. Drive over there during srvice hours and drop the truck off.

 

You beat me to it.

 

My best guess is "turn over"

 

any guesses on how the truck starts without turning over?

 

Nope!

 

OP, the next time it doesn’t roll over just give it a treat maybe that’s what it wants. JK

 

Magic? Did you try Abracadabra?

Damn, How come my Tacoma doesn't roll over?

 

Again with the "Roll Over" please explain what you mean by roll over

 

Do you mean it turns over but doesn’t start? I.e. the battery and starter are good but you are not getting spark, fuel, or compression?

 

Ha ha very funny.
My dog sometimes gets a treat for that.
Actually with a manual or stick shift transmission you can often start without the "starter" used to TURN OVER engine: turn ignition to on, depress clutch and put transmission into 2nd or 3rd, keep clutch depressed and get 2 or 3 burley people to push, release clutch quickly after reaching approx 5mph/10kph, vehicle will often start if battery has enough juice. Just some random info for those not aware.

 

You mean Bump Start? Yes we know that you can start a manual that way.
Any idea what "the truck starts up without rolling over and has a clunk at times" Means?

 

^LOL

Knowledge passed down from our great, great, great, grandpappy..
No wait, we did it growing up when were broke and everything we owned just barely ran. Sometimes..

 

Truck starts up without "rolling over"? Is the OP worried because his truck starts... too easily? That doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.

The "clunk", yeah I don't know about that.
