Hey Guys,
Weird one or I would ask something about starting. Anyway Friend's 00 XJ is having a strange starting issue. He turns the key, gets half a crank and then the dead battery clicking noise. So OK, dead battery, but then you just stop turning the key, and try again, lay half way down onto the gas and it starts. Volts immediatly jump to 14, so the alt is fine. This is EVERY morning. Sometimes when it does start, you have to keep your foot on the pedal for 5 minutes or so, or the Jeep will immediatly shut off.
Anyway, simple dead battery or what? I would think that it wouldn't start at all but it does, which is just frikkin weird.
Thanks,
Todd
