I start my Jeep at minimum 3 times a day, 5 days a week going to work and back (15 times). It can vary from 3 times to 7 on weekends depending where I am going.
About twice a week I have a hard time starting my Jeep. I turn the engine over and it doesn't start. I can crank it up to 10 times or so with or without giving it gas and it won't start. The battery has been checked and it is fully charged. The starter cranks the engine over with no problems.
I sit patiently, curse, then I try again and it starts. When it does start it kinda bogs for a bit, then the engine sounds strong.
It doesn't matter if it is cold outside or not.
Someone suggested that it might be fuel related. So recently when the problem happens, I turn the engine to the on position about 5 times, then attempt to fully engage starting the engine on the 6th try. No difference.
No check engine light comes on so this makes it very difficult for a dealership to diagnose. Please advise.
