Default 92 XJ not running

So my 92 died on me after 280k in december and it has been sitting in storage since, i'm thinking i need to just rebuild the motor and i was wondering if there are any good threads on here that have good info. or if someone has a better idea than a flat out rebuild.

Thanks in advance

it wants to start, it will go chug chug chug.... but wont start.

It was one morning i was backing out of the driveway, i started it up and went about 10 feet backwards, then it just died.

Like the starter is winding up but not turning the motor over?

Have you tried to jump your jeep off or put a new battery?

Try the battery first off. Check to make the starter is going. Check the Fuel pump if the starter is going. Their is a WHOLE list of things lol Battery and fuel pump is where i would start. Then start checking electrical... You can also find some threads of starting problems on here with A LOT of answers. Just post it up what's going on and any progress
GOOD LUCK!!

It can be a pain to find the prob but it's worth it... it took me almost a week to go through everything when it happened to me a while back lol
