Ok so my jeep atleast starts. Thats a pos. But it takes a while to start like spins over a little before starting. A buddy of mine said its a jeep thing but I would like to think it can be fixed. The jeep has new plugs, wires and stuff. You can hear the fuel pump. So, Im not sure if that is a problem. I get normal miles from a tank. Any suggestions on what to look at or should I just leave it at "its a Jeep thing"
Thanks

Yeah mine does this sometimes too. Cranks over for a little longer sometimes. And sometimes it will spit and sputter then start. I have no idea what it is. I was leaning to a low/dieing battery or a bad O2 sensor maybe.

 

Mine always does the same thing it turns over a few times then starts even if I shut it off and then restart right away. Guess it is what it is

 

mine does the same thing exspecially when its colder out..heard it could b the fuel pump.. if i prime the FP a couple times it starts fine

 

by prime you mean turning on and off the ign. a few times?

 

ya

 

Maybe ill try that in the morning on the way to pick up my work van.

 

mine starts first hit of the key on any occasion. if the starter works.

 

I tried to do the priming thing and got nothing. Same old thing, wouldnt start right away. I am basically used to it, but I still would like to have it fire right up.

 

You should only have to put the key into the Run position for a few seconds and then start the vehicle. Not by turning it to Run, then off, then back to Run.

On my grand cherokee, I put the key into the Run position for a few seconds then start it up. If starts quicker than just trying to start it right away.

 

I have tried both ways. neither help the slow starting. Any other ideas?
