Hi everyone, Im new to this site. I recently installed a rebuilt engine along with the newer intake from a 97 xj into my 91 manual transmission xj. Most everything is looking good but i have some issues that are baffling me which I cant seem to figure out. Currently I am plagued with a VERY...

Hello, im new to the forum but i was really hoping to get some insight on a problem that i have been having. Over the last few months my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi with 190,000 miles has been occasionally taking a bit of time for me to crank over the engine 5(sec). So i went ahead and...

Our 2005 Liberty with V-6, 90,000 miles has gotten hard to start at times. I used several bottles of fuel injector cleaner. It was OK for a short while, but today way out in the desert it really was difficult. I haven't checked the resistance yet. We can hear the fuel pump in the tank run...

So my 2002 TJ (4.0L) left me stranded for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It died while I was driving down the highway. I had spark so I immediately assumed it was my fuel pump but I changed it out and Im having the same problem. After cranking it repeatedly (each crank for several seconds...

Hello! So I came back from a long drive about two weeks ago. Jeep was running great. Parked my Jeep. The next day, I went to go start, and it would crank, but not turn over. I'll admit, it was getting harder and harder to start before this. I did replace the spark plugs, wires, distributor...

I've read a ton of threads on this and it seems to be a very common problem in the TJ very few people seem to be able to fix: The engine misfire (immortal engine check light) I have a 2002 X with 106k miles and a hard start issue for 3 years running now (crank once, nothing, crank again and it...

Hey everyone, I've been reading here for a while but just joined up in the hopes of some diagnostic help. I've read through a number of posts detailing similar issues but after testing/replacing a few different components I thought it was time to post for some specific advice. I have a 1997 TJ...

History: 98 TJ Sport, 4.0, 5 speed, 144K miles. The CEL is on but the only code is P0420 for the catalytic converter - The previous owner removed the CAT. Problem: It will only start "normally" if I turn the key forward for 5 seconds, turn it back for 5 seconds and turn it forward for 5 seconds...

I'm having an issue with my 88 Cherokee 4.0. 9 times out of 10, it starts. 4 times out of the 9, it starts at 2500 rpm then drops to normal. The other 5 no problem. But 10 percent of the time, it starts normal and runs up in rpm up to 2500 and wont go down. Then I shut it off and it wont...

Ok I can't figure this one out and need a little help. I have a 85 CJ7 with a 258. The jeep has only 51K on it and is mostly stock. I recently put a new Weber 32/36 carb on it and a new fuel filter and pressure regulator (set at 4.5psi). I also replaced all of the vacuum lines. Here is the...

My ZJ is hard to start, idles below 500rpm. Currently has trouble code 14. I put in a new MAF sensor, Crank sensor, Throttle sensor, Fuel regulator, filter, and pump, new plugs, cap, rotor, wires, coil, not sure what else would cause it to idle low. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i am usually pretty good at diagnosing a problem with my TJ but this one has me stumped... i have a 2003 I6 4.0L with about 81,000 miles on it. i had recently got my oil changed and the day after it started giving me trouble, whenever I'm parked on the slightest incline with my front higher than...

So I get high idle in park and neutral only after driving for a little while. I also have been getting a hard start. High idle happened for about a week, then hard start, so I cleaned the Throttle Body and the AIC with cleaner and also sea foamed the engine. I threw some fuel injector cleaner...

My 98 is having an idle problem. First when I start it I have to pump the throttle like a carb to get it to run. Then I have to keep my foot on it to keep it at 1000 rpm. If i take my foot off, it dies. If I drive it around for a while i will eventually start idling when i come to a stop...

Recently replaced the Valve-Cover Gasket to my son's 97 Cherokee XJ due to a leak and my son wanted to repaint the cover. Replaced the CCV valve after it broke. Shortly afterwards, car wouldn't start unless we pressed the gas pedal several times to the floor. We cleaned the Carb, also...

So whenever I start my jeep after it has sat for a bit (not necessarily cold), it cranks for a long time before starting. Once it starts, it runs like a champ. Could this be a bad fuel pump? Thanks for the help guys! Its an '01 TJ with a 4.0 and 5 speed

whats up with that? fuel pump? EDIT: Ive determined that it is the pressure reg. ive been told that i have to get a whole new fuel pump to fix this?

I have been having difficulty starting my 97 tj sport 5 speed. It just started happening recently. I cant tell a difference hot or cold. I check the obvious, air filter, plugs,wires, cap and rotor, I cleaned the t.b. very well. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what else to...

ok so for a while now everytime i start my xj i have had to turn the key to auxillary, then off, then on again, then i can start it and even then it cranks for almost 4 seconds, which isnt long but if you count out 4 seconds its a long time for a car to be cranking. if i dont turn the key to...

Went out to start the Jeep this morning. I've had this one for about a month with no problems. Went to turn it over and it just cranked but wouldn't start. Did this 3 times for about 2 seconds each. On the 4th time I pushed the gas in about 1/3 the way at the same time I turned the key...
