My 99 jeep 2.5l is weak starting. The battery is 3 months old. Starter has been tested several times and the alternator is charging. Any ideas on what the issue could be? I've cleaned the grounds and checked all the connections.

Take a good look at the positive cable to the starter checking for anything that looks odd, given the right conditions the cable can corrode internally.My 99 jeep 2.5l is weak starting.

My battery was at 12.83 when trying to start. It drops to 11.4.Put a volt meter on the battery when your cranking it over and see how voltage drop you get. A normal battery should be at 12.6 V more less. Not saying your starter is bad but most of the knuckleheads at the likes of Kragens or Autozone couldn't tell the difference between a turd and hunk of mud. Why yes...it spins..must be OK then.
Weak as in the starter doesn't have enough power to turn the motor over. No clicking what so ever.Just for clarification, weak as in it sounds like it’s having a hard time turning the motor over? Also this might be one of those circumstances that a short video may help.
In the meantime, check the ASD relay/fuse (I think it’s called), really may be on it’s way out.

Shouldn't drop much past 12.3 when
Yes. No clicking from the solenoid at all. The starter will engage but no clicking. I will change the battery this evening. Would it be possible the motor is vapor locking.Weak as in the starter doesn't have enough power to turn the motor over. No clicking what so ever.
So I changed the battery and it's still doing the same thing. Starter should be in today. If that's not it what else could it be?My 99 jeep 2.5l is weak starting. The battery is 3 months old.

Would the ASD relay make the jeep hard to turn over? Once it cranks it runs fine.Weak as in the starter doesn't have enough power to turn the motor over. No clicking what so ever.
No I sure don't. I ordered a starter. I will change it out this evening and see.Do you have a scanner that will check the battery and starter. My Inova 5310 has this funtion. It checks the system before and while starting.
