Saturday night out wheeling at a buddies property I laid my jeep on it's side. When it was on it's side it was still running for about 10 seconds before I got it shut off. After we got it back upright, let it sit for about 5 minutes, hit the key and it fired right up. Drove out of the trails up to the shop and washed it off, started and moved it 3-4 different times before parking it for the night.
Sunday morning it cranks but won't fire, a small squirt of starting fluid and it fires right up and runs perfectly fine with the exception of the temp gauge being pegged out for some reason. Spent the day at the u-pull-it getting a door and some glass, came back installed the new stuff, still have to start with ether, but it runs fine. I drove it home (about 10 miles) Sunday night with zero issues other than the temp gauge. Engine ran fine, had normal power, ect. when I got home and shut it off it had a faint smell of gas, but I couldn't find the source. Went back out after about an hour and it fired right up, figured maybe whatever it was cleared itself out on the drive home.
This afternoon I tried to start it and move it and I can't get it started at all. Squirt some ether in it, it fires and will run until it burns out the ether. Has fuel pressure at the rail, obviously has spark, but won't run on its own. I pulled the fuel pump relay and jumped it, the pump comes on and is pumping plenty of fuel. So, I'm lost. It's got fuel, air, and spark, but won't run. And it ran perfectly fine last night!
I found what looks like the end of some sort of roll over switch sitting on the wiring harness that runs across the firewall, but looked everywhere and couldn't find where it came from. I'll try and get a pic of that up and see if anyone has any clue where it came from. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the cause of my no start issue.
Thanks for any help!
