For about a min or so

 

My engine won't crank, what's my problem? :troll:

 

96 Jeep Cherokee

I replaced all of the lights behind my gauges. For some reason, after I finished, the temperature dummy light doesn't come on with the rest of the dash lights when I turn the key. Should I even worry about fixing it? It worked fine before changing the lights, and when I discovered it didn't come on anymore I swapped the old non-LED light back in. Still didn't work. No idea what could have caused it to stop working? Cleaned the contact points, etc. Everything is making contact fine.

And Its just when its cold? Do you have good oil pressure?

 

Slickkkk

 

Yeah its around 45

 

Try using rotella oil it has zinc added

 

Rotella will make it worse. Its too thick for the cold weather.

 

I know.that zinc helps with the rattle

 

They sell just the zink additive you can buy. Sounds like more of a dry start issue

 

Mostly when the engine still warms up, it stutters on medium to hard acceleration up hill. Refresh grounds and report back?
Also I have oil coming out of my valve cover, mostly by the fill cap. Think it burst oil out before it warms up the whole way and the pressure drops.

 

What weight oil are you using? And whens the last time you changed the oil?

 

When was your fuel filter last replaced?
