So I took it over to a local mechanic to have new rotors and pads put on. I parked the truck gave him a key but told him that if it would not start he would have to pop the hood and tap on the EFI relay. He looked at me like I was crazy. I told him what had been going on and he said he would like that too. I came back after a couple hours and the job was done. He also handed me a little white I think 10-amp amp standard plug-in fuse that hat corrosion on both legs. It hadnot popped it just looked like it had seen better days. He said he replaced it no charge and thinks that might be my problem. Well, that was a month ago and since that time I have not had one issue. That was 100% for sure the problem. Simple $0.05 fuse. I really don't even know which one it was to be honest. It was one of the fuses inside the same fuse box where the EFI relay is housed.

i was about to comment to change the fuses, i had replaced my whole engine and got the same thing no start, noise, click, nada. took me two days and i even called someone out to diagnose. said it was the ECU. my friend happen to come over that night started messing with the fuses, noticed the ECU one was a little corrodded, swapped it out and boom turned on like a charm. so even those little tiny fuses can cause issues if their dirty.
