I was wondering if any of you guys could help me solve this, ill tell you what happened.
I just purchased a 2004 Jeep TJ 4.0 Auto a few days ago, which hadnt been driven for a few weeks so to a while to start up on collection.
It came with 1 stock key and 2 aftermarket keys. Everything seems to run fine but once or twice didn't start up on the first try.
However today started up fine, then as I got to the top of my driveway which is at an incline, I applied the brake and checked the road was clear then went to set off and the engine cut out.
Then I went to start up again and the dash came on but wouldn't turn over or make a noise when turning the key. Took the key in and out a few times then after the 3rd time it started up again. Also when the engine went off, when putting it back into park the transmission was stiff and judered. Also the key symbol on the dash lit up everytime I start it.
So what do you think is wrong?
Bad battery, fuel pump, starter motor?
It drives fine since, but why would an automatic cut out like that?
Id appreciate any help, thank you!
