Hey guys,
just wondering if any one has had this problem...this first time this happend about about month ago and now twice this week. Only on cold mornings my Jeep will not crank AND if you jumper the starter it wont start. Yes, the key was in the run position when I tried to hotwire the starter. Basically its an 87' XJ with a manual tranny and 4.0. When the problem occures with no crank no start the guages will read when keyed to "run" position and the radio turns on. Problem is I hurry off to work and when I come back in the afternoon it fires right up and I can't duplicate the problem to diagnose it. I don't want to start throwing random parts at it because I want to diagnose it so I know whats wrong then I know its actually fixed, you know? Anyway, I'm thinking some type of feed circuit or relay could be acting up when cold or maybe intermittent ignition switch. Any of you guys ever encounter this??? :repair:
