my daily driver 88 FJ62 has been starting & running like a dream for many, many months (mayb it was a dream) last week when i turned the key, I had nothing but a click, then would do again & it would start,,
after a week of this i went to start & nothing but a click,,, no crank,, I cleaned battery terminals (battery is less than a yr old), checked connections at starter & still the same,,, no start,, on a little research someone said they WD-40 the lock cylinder & fixed,, idk,,, but I sprayed some contact cleaner & WD with a little help from a compressor, when I went to turn key I hesitated & heard it catch at spot about a 1/8 turn from all the way,, if i nurse it to that spot,,, it starts,,, now I am not sure if that was the case before the WD,, because if i do it with out zeroing in on that spot,, it just clicks,,
the lock cylinder seems pretty tight & would hate to change as doors are all keyed the same,, My next thing was going to b testing the ignition relay by the fuse box,, and testing starting with jumping starter, It seems like alot of issues & false trails on this situation,, anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Thank you
