Hey Guys,
New to the forum, but have been following it for years. I am hoping one of you experienced Jeepers have some insight that could help me. I have a 2006 Sport - Within the past 6 months i've had to replaced: starter, radiator, fuel pump, and battery.
The most recent replacement was the fuel pump, about 4 weeks ago. Before i replaced the starter and fuel pump, i was having issues actually starting the engine. Meaning it would crank and crank but never turnover and fully start. First i replaced the starter which worked normal for about 2 weeks then had the same problems as before. Determined it was a bad fuel pump. Replaced that and everything was working great for 2 weeks. Then out of no where i start having the same symptoms as before. I thought that the starter might be defective or something because i could tap the starter with a mallet and it would turn on, but it stopped responding to that after a week. I went to Advanced Auto for them to test it, and it tested just fine. Right now, the jeep will start with ease when the engine is cold. But if i turn the engine off and try and restart it, engine just cranks and cranks with no turnover.
Last night i tried jump starting it. Engine started up just fine. Turned it off and again...it just cranked and cranks, with no turnover. I also checked the codes on the dash but the odometer just reads "done". So that wasn't much help.
With all that said, any suggestions? Any tests i should try and run? I'd say i'm a novice when it comes to this stuff but have tried to learn alot as i replace parts, but still have limited knowledge. I really don't want to take it to a shop because...well, money. But i'm beginning to lose hope and think i just need to bite the bullet and take good ol "Chuck" in to see the doctor. Thank you for any help! #jeepwave
