strange starting issue and other problem
Well this happened the other night , i went to leave a resturant and turned the key it went click and then dead , no power no where. tried it again a couple times and nothing. no lights in the dash like when u normally try it no fuel pump kicking on. checked the fuses under the hood and found a 5 amp fuse blown so i stole one from the fuse box under the dash , really stressed to tighten a already tight battery terminal and then it kicked over no problem. then today it did the very same again. but no blown fuses just curious to see if anybody had any ideas. now for the other problem im having , i had fixed a miss i had by replacing 2 fuel injectors then a couple days ago i noticed it was missing again , so i did the same method to find the first miss. unplug injectors one by one and if it changes pitch thats not it. if it stays the same then bingo. well it seemed to change on every one. so i figured id defect exchange my plugs (benefits of workin at a part store) so i stuck another set of champion 71's in it and it helped a lil bit but still misses. the IAC makes some hissing noise but it constantly changes like its working properly , new tps and IAC like 3 months ago , wires , cap , and rotor. pcv valve rattles like crazy. and this is the very same truck that is missing second gear (auto , 2wd). so anything helps thanks guys
Could also be your lock cylinder. When mine went bad I turned the key and got nothing. No dash lights or power to anything. So If you find all your connections and grounds are good, you might want to look at that.
alright 10-4 i check into that but where do i find the splice for the common power for the injectors? do i just follow the wires leading back into the main harness , and i put a test light on the injector plugs and it came on so i have to be getting some sort of power to them plus it seems to be getting progressively worse now after a new carrier bearing the truck has a vibration to it. fml. wish this thing was a 5 speed lol.
i had similar problems with my injectors and found one that misfired randomly. if your truck has command start it may be spliced into an injector and have a shotty connection
also had a problem with a battery terminal before where the post on the battery was too small for some reason and actually snapped the bolt so had to find another end to connect it up. after it worked fine

you might have an antenna at the top of your window or a switch like this somewhere in your engine bay (would be pressed down when the hood is closed)

Or you can just make sure that all of your injectors only have 2 wires going to them and no more. Mine looked like this

2 wires with one spliced in going nowhere (originally went underneath the dash)
