Tank doesn't refill after flushing maybe 25% of the time.  If I rapidly open and shut the water valve about 20-30 times it gets it going.  Only lived in this house a month so no idea what kind of history this thing has. Girlfriend is coming into town on Saturday so would like to get it fixed by then, Google isn't much help. Help me Arfcom, you're my only hope

Google can't help you troubleshoot a toilet?  

Turn the water off.
Drain the tank.
Disassemble the fill valve.
Find the part that's sticking and lubricate it with Vaseline.  If something is broken or worn, replace it.
Put it back together.
Turn the water back on.
Enjoy your fixed toilet.
