After sitting for about 2 hours yesterday, the truck wouldn't start. The dash lights all worked...till I turned the key. Then nothing. No dash lights. Jump started it, noticed the alternator was charging. Did a load test on battery, it was good. Cables are tight.
Today, everything worked fine on first start. Got out of Dr. office, and once again....door buzzer, blower motor, dash lights good...till I turned the key. Then everything went dark. Jump started again to make it home. On the way home, the engine revved several times while at a light (5-speed), and once jerked as if I just almost punched the throttle.
When jump started, I connect directly to the end terminals, so the cables evidently are still good too.
Any ideas where to do next?
