Starting Problems, 1999 toyota 4 runner limited Options

[dmsull]

Hello everybody!

Im a new member to this site and I have a problem with my 1999 toyota 4 runner. It has the big V-6 in it. In the mornings when im getting ready to go to work, my truck will not start. I have to turn the ignition key 3 or more times to get it to start. When I turn on the ignition key, I have power but it wont turn over. After a few times turning the ignition key on and off then it will start and it will stay running. After I get the truck started I can go anywhere and the truck will turn over with no problem. But if I let it sit for a few hours then it will give me a hard time again. What could it be? Thanks everybody for your help!

When you turn the key and it doesn't start, what does happen ?

nothing, clicking, cranks but won't start, etc ?

Check battery, may need to be replaced, If the batt is good the look into the starter, it could be a cylinoid prob or simply just a bad connection somewhere
