My Jeep was running great when I parked it a few weeks ago. About 1 week after the last ride, I went to replace the factory speedo cluster (could not get temp gauge to work because I believe the resistor was bad) and I also decided to replace the tach because it bounces around a lot. The colors...

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...

It has been a year trying to figure out this starting issue on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.7 V6 in it...Many mechanics have tried, many parts (see the list below) and I am just so desperate to find a solution...the vehicle has 240'000 miles on it. Starting in the morning or when cold...

This question is about a 1990 YJ 4.2 L with a starting problem. I have looked and cannot find a similar situation in the Forum or elsewhere online. Here are the facts: I went to bring my jeep out of winter storage, and hooked up the fully charged battery. Terminals were clean and tight. I...

Hey folks I am having some trouble starting my yj. I cant figure out what the heck is going on. The battery is good, alternator is good, but, and this happens randomly, it sounds like the starter motor isnt getting enough power to turn over. Jumping it doesn't work, i put it on a charger and it...

My 89 yj takes forever to start and then once it fires it revs high to about 2,100 for a couple seconds. When I start the car I do about a 6 second turn over then stop, then another try and after 3 seconds usully then it starts. Immediately followed with a loud grinding rev that last multable...

Okay, I have a 04 TJ auto, I have recently switch it to a manual. After that it would start and drive with a check trans code no problem. Then my battery went dead on me. I replaced my battery and now no start. So I thought well the PCM was looking for the auto trans, found one put it on trans...

Hey everyone, I have a 95 Jeep YJ 4 cyl 5 speed manual, was running errands in it yesterday having no issues, but today go out to start it up and am hearing no engine clicking/cranking. The battery comes on at full power when I put the key in. The radio seems to turn off when I go turn the...

Hello, I recently bought my first Jeep (or car, really) and it came in need of repair. I bought it from a friend's dad and it had been sitting for over a year. My mechanic friend and I swapped out the Pressure Plate, Slave Cylinder, Radiator, and Battery, hoping that at that point it would be...

I have a 97 xj 4.0 that won't turn over, when I turn the key everything works except it won't start or turn over, I do here slight clicking on the passenger side inside the jeep but not the from starter I think it's the relays clicking. I already changed the starter and cleaned up the neutral...

I've noticed within the last 2 weeks if I let my '96 XJ sit for more than a few hours, if I go to start it, it will take longer to turn over. However it doesnt sit and crank and crank. It takes a few more seconds than if I had just parked and started again. I wonder if this is a problem with my...

Tomorrow is the day. Need to get the Jeep back running. SYMPTOMS: Cranks strongly Starts less than 10% of the time (if at all) If starts, might suddenly die. Might not. ----- The battery and electrical connections are strong. (Just re-did all major cables) Fuel is making it to the fuel rail...

Hello! I've been banging my head and scouring this forum for answers for 6 months to get my 77' Wagoneer to start. Since I am new to this, I recently discovered "starter fluid" and gave that a try over the weekend. Sure enough after 6 months of not firing, the Jeep came back to life. To get to...

Key sticky? AC blower Fan, turn signals and other essentials suddenly quit? Won't start? Can't get the key out? My 2000 4.O automatic Cherokee, wonderfully faithful til now, did this. Checked fuses, neutral safety switch. Removed and lubed key switch after removing access panel and shroud around...
