Here recently, I have been having difficulty getting my Jeep to be reliable.
Last week, it refused to start, so I pulled the battery and went to Les Schwab to have them test it. Well, the battery cell was fine and they said that it was fully charged (had been on a trickle charger for a while).
Well, I get it back to the house and ask my roommate for a jump and sure enough, the Jeep fires up after having tried earlier in the week doing the same thing minus the Les Schwab trip.
Today, after it having functioned properly all week, it wouldn't start. It'd try to turn over, but it just wouldn't fire up and keep going.
I replaced the alternator last October along with buying a new battery. The starter works fine because it is trying to start. I haven't had a tune up in a while, so is it possible that I need to give it a tune up? I bought new plugs for it when I got the battery tested, so I can do that right away. Is there anything else that I should check before I give it a tune up?
Anyone else had this problem? What would some suggestions be? I don't want to have to shell out some bucks for a shop to do it. What would a quick tune up regimine be for my Jeep?
I went to Schuck's and bought a new TPS sensor and that didn't help. I'm at a loss and figure I'm going to have to take this to a shop now.
Thank you for any and all help.:clap:
