Was wondering if this needed adressed? Does it every time, consistantly. Also, it's not shutting itself off in the video, I did that just to get more startups in.

bump

 

typically either a weak starter, or the fuel check valve.
the check valve is supposed to stop fuel from leaking back into the tank, keeping your fuel rail somewhat pressurized for easy start up.

but since it's taking as many cranks to start once it's just shut off, i would lean more towards the starter. but a weak battery and/or grounds may contribute to these symptoms also.

 

What year ?

 

94

 

Check for codes first that will keep from spending unneeded money even if lights not on...http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoECUcodes.htm

 

Look in the engine bay and see if the rats have been eating your wiring.

 

I don't see a problem? My dad's 96 and my 89 both take this long. Get a high torque starter or an over sized battery with 1000 cranking amps if it bothers you.

 

My 98 usually starts within 2 revolutions.

 

It starts like an 87-90 Renix Jeep. Their ECU needs to see 300 rpm for a couple cranks, if I have that right.

How many bolts holding the TB to the intake manifold?

 

mine sometimes takes 3-4 seconds to start. i don't worry about it
