Default Problems starting my 96 cherokee

Hey,

Got a question. My jeep is having serious problems starting. When I turn it over it has a real hard time starting. It takes a good 4-5 seconds of holding the key and makes a bad noise and finally turns over. Sometimes after being started a few times it won't even turn over at all. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks

sounds like the solenoid is going bad. I would just replace the whole starter. YOu cab pick one up at your local parts for around 100 bucks. Its a pretty easy job with hand tools take about 30 mins or so.
