My Jeep is a winter only vehicle basically. I drive it once a month or so during the summer, maybe every two months at worst.
Went to start it up the other day and it won't start. Trys to crank, but doesn't turn over.
If I spray some starter fluid in the intake bellows it'll run for a split second and stall out.
Last year, when I bought this 1994 Cherokee Sport I changed plugs and the fuel filter. I went ahead and cleaned the plugs (wire brush and air compressor) out today, changed to new plug wires, put on a new cap/rotor also.
So, it'll turn over and fire up with the help of starter fluid, but almost immediately dies. Seems fuel related to me.
I swapped the fuse on the passenger side fuse block that controls the fuel pump with the AC one as it is the same part#, didn't help any.
Figure I'll go ahead and change the fuel filter tomorrow and eliminate it from being the problem even though it is only ~1yr old. Don't really think this is it.
I put some fresh gas in the tank along with a bottle of the stuff that is supposed to be a gas "antifreeze" and remove moisture also.
Any ideas guys?
Fuel pump?
Fuel filter?
Injectors?
..something electrical that controls fuel?
CPS??? (not really familiar with JEEPs as sports cars are my thing, but I see a lot of posts about this)
Thanks!
