89 cherokee starting help
I need a little help with my jeep starting. When I turn the key the fuel pump turns on, ignition relay sounds like it clicks but I replaced it anyways, I have replaced the starter and still doesn't want to start. It will start once then will not start again for a while. I have an msd ignition on it which is on a switch and worked fine for years. I can jump the starter across and it will start but does not start when turning the key. Let me know what you think please.

If your key isn't turning all the way, it could be the ignition. But if it's turning but not rolling over, make sure all your spark plug wires are connected. Hopefully it's as simple as a loose wire....check your battery?
