I'm having problems starting my Jepp sometimes. It sounds like it wants to start but just never fires up. It just turns and turns and turns and nothing. It's like it isn't getting fuel. I can hear the fuel pump kick on when I turn on the ignition. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. My best guess is that the relay for the fuel pump is going out. I pulled it out and it did have some discoloration on the ends. Does anyone know if this is just a standard relay that I could pick up at Autozone or is it a special one?
On a side note: every once in awhile I can't start the Jeep in Park. It does nothing, like I have a complete dead battery. If I put it in Neutral, it'll start right up? Any ideas? I've heard there is a switch on the tranny that keeps you from starting while in gear and something may have happened to this switch to make the Jeep think it is in gear when it is really in Park. Any other suggestions are very much welcome and appreciated. TIA
