Seems obvious eh? CMP most likely, but mine was replaced with an OEM unit a few years ago. I searched and had trouble finding folks with my exact issue.
Scenario:
This Jeep is a weekend toy. Stretches its legs once a week roughly.
In prep for a camping trip this weekend, I drove it a few extra days to smoke out any gremlins before taking it out,
Everything was working fine yesterday. Drove to work and back. Parked in my driveway. After dinner, fired it up and backed it into my garage where it sat all night.
When I attempted to start it this morning, it just cranked and cranked and cranked but the engine wouldn't start.
It had a CEL stored on the computer as of this morning. Just a P0340 and nothing else. Usually I see these accompanied by other CEL's or symptoms while driving (IE spurting, dying, bad idle, etc.). My jeep demonstrated none of that. It worked perfectly up until it refused to start the next morning.
It has a new battery (less than a few months) and the voltmeter seems to be reading fine.
I can feel the starter engage the flywheel, and I can feel it cranking/spinning just fine. Nothing feels sluggish. The engine just won't fire up.
Dropping it off at my mechanic on Monday, but wondered if anyone had some ideas I could poke around with over the weekend first.
