My ‘91 245, 250,000 on it. Started fine this morning. Ran about 2 minutes idling to warm up since it’s a little cold out, around 36° F, and it just died. Tried to recrank and starter would not operate. Power to lights/dash. With key in start position radio would go off but dash lights did not dim. Tried several times but still no start. Then about 5 min. later started and ran just fine. What could have caused this?

    I believe that I have found the problem. Would not start yesterday, so I remembered that the neutral saftey switch could also cause a no crank, wiggled the shift lever and started with no problem. I will still dissemble and clean the ignition switch this weekend just to make sure it's ok since the procedure sounds fairly simple.
    thanks!
