OK This is strange.... Changed the oil last night, went to start the engine and nothing. Clicks from the starter, radio going babababababa when I hit the key... checked the battery cables, a little dirty, cleaned, reinstalled, no start. Checked battery water (no Optima, yet) it's OK. Battery voltage a little low at the dash gauge (VOM no 9-volt battery WTF! argh) so I connected the trickle charger.... pulling about 5 amps during charge (not REAL high) so I leave it anyway, "charged" for about 1 hour, check battery, no bubbling from charging, amp draw still 5, disconnect charger, hit key.... it starts. Note: the oil level was not full when I tried to start at first). Strange, because the battery didn't really seem to need charging. I must have started the truck 5-6 times earlier in the day, no problems, no slow cranking.... WTF?
I know there is a oil level sensor on the 94, is there something in the ECU that says "low oil, no start"? I would think in that case the starter would not have clicked.... weird. Going to buy an Optima today and order cables from Urban Land Cruisers....
