Seems to have gotten worse over the last few weeks and is now having to turn over 15 times before it actually starts (which feels like a lifetime when holding the key and just sitting there). The Jeep runs fine, recent tune-up, new header, O2's, etc and no CEL. On my old '91, it was the check valve in fuel pump, so I did the BMW fix, but on this '97, the cycling key on/off to build up fuel pressure doesn't seem to help, so I'm kinda ruling that out.
I'm thinking it has to be some sort of sensor. The battery is only a few months old and although the starter I believe is original, it doesn't seem to be lacking in power. I'm also guessing that whatever it is, might (or hope) that it's the culprit to my poor mileage too - 11mpg on a budget boosted stock XJ. So, what would cause this? CPS? (which is the crank positioning sensor right? I always get that and cam sensor confused - can never remember the abbreviation for that.....)
