105-series 1HZ won't start (1 Viewer)

[RangerDownUnder]

Went to drive to work this morning and the cruiser wouldn't start. It would only crank a few times really slowly and then not start. I tried pumping the button on the fuel filter until there was resistance but no change in starting. I don't have a voltmeter but the instrument cluster still lights up, dome and headlights still work, and the dash gauge reads about 12v when the key is on. There's about 1/4 tank of fuel in it, too. I haven't driven it in 1.5-2 weeks and it's a fairly cold and rainy day today. Previously, it might crank for longer before it started cold (10-20 seconds) but always started.

Any ideas?

I'm going to pick up a multimeter today to get a more accurate battery reading.

That probably is accurate, but the battery doesnt have enough amps to crank it fast .

I agree
