    Ignition switch?

    I will start with the cylinder, since its the least expensive. And I will order it online--much cheaper than locals.

    Ignition switch?

    97 wrangler 2.5-- How do I know if my problem is the ignition switch, actuator pin or the lock cylinder? I am certain one of (or all three of these) are (is) my issue. My tj wont start unless I "jiggle" the key while starting. Any help would be appreciated. I'd rather not replace all three...

    No start, starts

    Hello to All. here we go again. So, my 97 tj 2.5 has issues starting. Wasn't showing any spark to coil. Sat in the sun for a few hours(New Orleans heat) and it started. Of course, when it wouldn't start the voltage and fuel gauge wouldn't work either. It's the craziest thing I've seen yet...

    97 TJ wont start

    Thank you but knowing my luck, I would replace the pcm and it still wouldn't start. I guess its my kind of luck but I'd rather try the less expensive avenues first. (Not doubting you whatsoever) Thanks again, will keep you posted

    97 TJ wont start

    yes, when I turn the key to the on position, the fuel pump comes on and stays on. It doesn't sound like it shuts off within a second or two. But, before this problem it did the same thing and yet it did start. now, no fuel gauge or voltage gauge working. Confused!!!

    Yes, the fuel pump is coming on and working. It use to start eventually, but now, what ever was causing the original problem has totally shut down. will not start. Cranks but wont start.

    Jeep Wont Start out of ideas

    my 97 tj 2.5 has the same exact issue. I am new to this forum (and new jeep owner). I have been told to check the cps (crankshaft sensor). I may just order one and replace it. I'm not sure this could prevent it from starting. I am waiting on other responses to my thread. (remember---I am new...

    97 TJ wont start

    relay and fuse are both good. another thread had mentioned the cps. could a bad cps keep it from starting? seems unlikely. again, thank you in advance.

    Hello everyone. I am relatively new to the jeep family. I have a '97 wrangler 2.5 and am having trouble getting it started. When I first try to start it, the gauges don't work and the "engine light" does not come on. I read somewhere that if the engine light doesn't come on, it won't start. I...

    What is this thing inside the power steering reservoir?

    I haven't received the part yet, but here are the two parts needed. (they only sent me the one on the right in the picture.) Still not sure how to get them into the tank, properly. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. And I have never seen these parts before now.
