Cranks over fine.
But sometimes you have to crank on it a couple times to get it to start and when it finally does it seems like shes starving for gas for a second.

Did a tune up or at least the wife did.. plugs wires cap and roter.

Put a fuel pressure tester on it and it didnt get pressure till we started cranking like the fuel pump has a delay?

 

Could be a bad fuel pump check valve. Try this:

Turn the key to On, then off, On the off. Then go to start and see what happens.

Your wife did the tune-up? Too cool.

 

Ill give it a try again tomorrow. Pretty sure I have before and it didnt make a difference.

Shes learning. Plugs didnt get gapped. And I received the funniest f**king call about 3 weeks after she did the tune up. She went shopping. Went to start her jeep. Called me in histarics saying she blew her jeep up and she didnt do anything. I drove over. She starts it... guess what didnt get tightened... one spark plug that backed itself out lmfao. I started laughing so hard I couldn't breath.

Made my day.

Ill update what it does.

 

Last fuel filter change was ?

 

Couple weeks ago when she did the tune up.

Also fuel pressure was good when I checked it.

 

No fuel pressure when keys first turned on ,but fuel pressures good ? Cant be both ...

 

Key on. No fuel pressure

Engine start once its started. Good pressure. Ill run a pressure test again and write the numbers down

 

Do you get current at plug to pump when keys first turned on ,it will only be for a couple of seconds if not could be sticking relay if yes most likely fuel pump getting ready to go .

 

Ill give it a shot. Any idea what wire to stick a hot lamp on by chance?

 

Not on yours unplug pump ground test lamp and check gonna have to turn key on and off each time . Is like a buzzer gonna get power for about 5 seconds the ya gotta cycle key again. just turn key to run not start when testin. Whats a hot lamp ...lol...

 

A test lamp. Ive always thought they were called a hot lamp? Thats what my family and even my teacher called it lol.

K ill give it a try hopefully today.

 

Kinda though so another thing ya might look in to is sticking fuel pump relay could be the jiggling of motor trying to start activates it causing fuel pump to run if theres nno power from above test switch like relay would be a easy test ...good luck.

 

I have a feeling the fuel pump may be bad. Wife was sayimg on hot days its worse. I have not driven it enough to tell.

If there is no power where is the relay?

 

96 is a change over year might be in pdc under hood .

 

Shoulda made it clear. Mine is a 96 hers is 92
