  1. Jeep MK Compass & Patriot Forum
    Hi, I recently got a Patriot, my first manual and I'm loving it. However, the other day it simply wouldn't even try to turnover when I tried to start. I turn the key and it's like it doesn't sense that the clutch is down. So, I tried manually holding down the clutch safety switch, still the...

  5. General Jeep & Off-Road Equipment
    During my training to become a commercial pilot, I wrote a paper about the use of magnetos in aircraft and it dawned on me, has anyone put a magneto in a jeep. I know some early automobiles and motorcycles used magnetos but to the best of my knowledge it has never been factor equipment for a...

  7. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Lately the Jeep has been shuddering and stuttering a bit when I first fire her up. The whole jeep shakes rhythmically for about 10 seconds and then it subsides. Don't know what's up. Any ideas? Doesn't seem to do it any time except in the morning.
  8. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    I have an '89 Cherokee that takes about 9-10 seconds to start at almost every start (hot or cold). Sometimes it starts in less time but it seems it always requires a lot of cranking. Things I've tried: replace fuel filter replaced sparkplugs, sp wires, rotor and cap (this helped with general...

    Hey all, I am having a very frustrating issue. I bought my jeep a few months ago and it started having a problem starting. I searched on here for like issues and found a few possible fixes. So my issue is that when I turn the key it will not start. The battery tested fine and...
  10. Jeep MK Compass & Patriot Forum
    I have a 2012 Patriot 2.0L I-4 cyl. It has 14,000 miles on it. Sometimes when I try to start my jeep, it is delayed and struggles to start up. I have to try it a two or three times before it sounds normal. Does anyone else experience this? Also, when I'm driving it feels like it is going to...
  11. Engines & Drivetrain
    So for the last 2 months or so, when it rains my 97 wrangler wont start up until it dries up (sometimes hours). Then yesterday it started to give a loud grinding start when I would try to start it, but after a second or two of grinding would fire up. Today when I tried, it went from grinding to...
  12. Engines & Drivetrain
    When I start up my TJ it makes a weird squeaking sound. My buddy and I have determined its the belt. Is there any way it should be lubricated? Any advise is much appreciated.

  15. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hello all, I am new to this community and looking for some advice. It might be hard to get over a forum without seeing/hearing the vehicle, but I figured I'd try. My Jeep won't start. I have a '91 Wrangler, 6 cylinder 4.0 liter, that my family has owned from the factory. For the last couple...
  16. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    I heard this is common with Jeeps. It usually goes away after driving for a couple of minutes. I'm planning on changing my oil soon as was just wondering if there is anything I can add during the process to help reduce this at all? I think I recall someone mentioning replacing a quart of oil...
  17. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    As of about a week ago, every time I start my Jeep it revs itself up to about 2k RPM before settling back in around 750. If I just sit at idle, it'll stay there for a while and then climb back up to about 2k again. It went almost up to 3k once. Then it alternates back and forth. If I drive, it...
  18. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    for the past couple of days, when i go to start my jeep (hot or cold start), right after it turns over, i hear what sounds to me like load clicking noises. it only last for about two seconds and then goes right away. could this be a top end engine part being starved of oil or something?
