  1. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Hi all, I'm new to the world of Jeeps and don't really know much about mechanics either, so I could do with some advice from people who know what they're talking about. In August I had issues with the old girl starting: it would start first time, then after a few seconds cut out. I try...
  2. Jeep Cherokee & Comanche Forums
    Here's the situation, my baby's a 1995 Cherokee Sport 4.0. She was running hotter then usual a couple weeks ago so I flushed here and it was all rust and muck that came out, granted I did this just 10 months ago when I got her, first time though and didn't get everything but this time...
  3. Jeep CJ Forum
    Just like the title says: my 258 won't start without starter fluid but runs like a champ indefinitely once started. 1979 CJ 5, 258 This is a new problem, but a new problem after a LOT of changes. I blew the motor. Head gasket blew on the highway, stopped as soon as I could but the damage was...
  4. 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...

  6. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Hi there, I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo and the other day trying to leave work it just wouldn't start. When you turn the key the electronics all come on, but then when you go to crank it nothing happens and the electronics shut off. Electronics come back on when you pull the key back from...

    I've got a 99 Grand Cherokee, I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, crankshaft position sensor and it's still not starting. Please advise.
  8. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    I am at a loss because I cannot seem to find the right info. Alternator correct and good. Battery charged and good. Starter correct and good. Every single time I try to start this 1996 ZJ 5.2, it clicks once, sometimes twice, and then all power is cut. I let it rest for sometimes 2 minutes, and...
  9. Engines & Drivetrain
    Hi so my WJ 4.0 is converted to a tractor with a electronic box that just shuts the power to my fuel rail when it detects speeds over 18mph and rev limits it while still to about 3k rpm so that might help with diagnosing the issue so when I start it it instantly dies sometimes and it’s about...
  10. WK Grand Cherokee & XK Commander Forum
    Hi Everyone! A little background here: I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 with about 170k Miles on it that has been sitting for a year. I had bought a brand new Wrangler and wasn't around much this past year, so now I am trying to figure out why I can't get it to start. Before buying the new...
  11. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hi! I appreciate any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting. Yesterday drove the Jeep about 10 miles then when I went to leave right after I pulled out it started acting like it was running out of gas so I turned around and parked it. Gas gauge doesn't work but I had just filled up a week...
  12. Engines & Drivetrain
    I've been rebuilding a 1976 Cj5, I6 4.2L for the past year. I've finally reached the monumental moment of starting the engine. Of course, it simply won't start. I'll list what it does/doesn't do below. If anybody has any experience with similar conditions, please chime in. Engine -turns over...
  13. Engines & Drivetrain
    Drove the jeep to a park. Tried to leave and it cranks, but won't start. Smell gas. Had it towed back to my place and started ruling things out (I'm a novice) . . . I've got spark. I determined this by inserting a screw driver into plug from cylinder 1 (screw driver inserted to plug, and...
  14. Engines & Drivetrain
    Hey everyone I have a 1995 yj with a 2.5l engine thats having a problem. I have searched around the forums and found people with kind of similar problems but not quite the same. So in the morning or after my jeep has been sitting for awhile when I go to start it the fuel pump doesn't kick right...
  15. Jeep CJ Forum
    I put a new gas tank on my 86 CJ. I put around 6 gallons in the new tank. When I turn the key it cranks fine. This has a mechanical fuel pump. I'm not getting fuel to the carburetor. I used a pump to load the lines with fuel (sucked gas from the tank to the fuel pump). That didn't work so I...
  16. Jeep CJ Forum
    Any body else having this issue?? The little gear that drives the rack/push rod to the start switch keeps jumping a tooth on me. First time I replaced the rack and gear as both were worn. But it has happened a few more times and its getting old. Is groove where this runs just worn out to far...
  17. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    So, over the course of the last 2 days I pulled and disassembled my steering column all to change the ignition switch. (Long story, yes I now know you don't really need to pull the whole column to replace the switch on top of the column). Everything else went back in and back on. Only the switch...

    Hey everyone!! Need some advice with my jeep. This has been an ongoing project for a while and I'm getting so close to having her running but it just seems to be one thing after another. I have a 96 XJ Ltd that i have converted to LPG and i was taking her to be certified and she broke down half...
  19. WK Grand Cherokee & XK Commander Forum
    Hi, I need some help troubleshooting this issue. At random times, my car doesn't start. It will attempt to turn over but not fire up. I'll attach a video of the issue. https://streamable.com/gnf2f Thanks, Christian
  20. WK Grand Cherokee & XK Commander Forum
    (This post is an update to my previous post.) I recently noticed that the AC fan noise has become louder. When I drive on the highway, the AC pushes out cold air. However, when the car is at normal city speed, the air is warm (passenger's side warmer), and the dashboard eventually gives the...
