I will start. The jeep doesnt want to start. THe starter only turns the motor over like 3 rotations and then it acts like the motor is running and stops making the motor rotate. THen if you wait a second you can hear it slam back in and then you can roate 2 or 3 mor times until it stops. I know the battery is fine I just got it and it has like 1000 CCA. It doesnt have a problem turing the motor over, just keeping the starter engaged is my problem. Any help?

replace the starter. I had a fullsize bronco did the same thing. i didn't change it to start with and it ended up trying to engage while it was running and shattered my flywheel at 70mph. so if you have the cash go ahead and get another starter

I emagine you could I just don't know how lol. hell do like I did with my t-case a couple days ago, just take it apart clean it real good (brake/carb cleaner works great to clean greasy/dirty parts) put it back together install it and see if it works. It might work

Mine does this. I quit using it because I have no idea why it does that. I've never had a car with cruise before so I'm used to not using it. Is this an issue. I always like to fix broken stuff even if I don't need to technically.

Maybe you guys just need to relearn the cruise module..
Ill try to find the procedure..

Hmm... 88 FSM
VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE WHEN "SET" BUTTON IS RELEASED
Servo or control module defective.
