Hey guys I have a 95 xj, 4.0 with 200,000 km on it. I went to start it tonight and got nothing. No crank, no power, nothing. This happened twice, I went and checked the battery made sure all terminals were clean etc. and it was fine. Went and tried again, same thing. Then, on the 4th try, it literally fired up like normal. I cant diagnose the problem until tommorrow, and Im wondering what you guys think this could possibly be as Im new to the 4.0.


Thanks, Zack.

Did you check and clean the wires on the starter itself?

I was going to suggest chasing your grounds when your post popped up... Glad you got it, though.
