1999 Cherokee Sport Starting Issue
I have a 1999 Cherokee Sport that just got a new starter installed from a shop. Now, it starts normally for a few days , but then the starter gear will momentarily engage the flywheel then prematurely spin off before the engine kicks over. I can hear the starter gear spinning wildly. It doesn't matter how many times I try , it wont start. I tow it to the shop and it works fine there. I don't think its a flywheel tooth issue because sometimes it starts fine ... I think its a bum starter. They think its something else. It never did this with the old starter. That one just died from old age. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks JG
