trouble starting after short drive
if i start my 95 xj and only drive it very short distance(pulling into driveway, driving around the block) then i shut it off, it doesn't want to start back up, it doesn't even turn over. sometimes when this happens, i put it neutral and it starts. basically, i just play around with it until it turns over. i'm just confused because it only happens when i drive really short distances, if i drive it for 5 or more minutes, it starts back up no problem. any ideas?
