drag that battery under the jeep and jump it. you don't need to pull it to bench test it.

Will a bad NSS cause the starter not to crank?

All you need to do is jump the two terminals with a screw driver after you fix the connection issue.

Boom! It started right up. Problem was the ground right next to the battery...lol




I filmed it but my ipod crashed and this was all that got recorded.


Two new problems... fuel pressure regulator leaks and the t stat housing was leaking but it stopped to a slight drip after the motor warmed up. Is that what is supposed to happen?

New regulator is in... no more leak. Bought some gasket sealer for the t-stat housing. 95% done. Thanks all for the help and suggestions.
