Guys,
My buddy has a 2001 XJ, AW4, 231, 41K. So the damn thing will not start, and it will not take a jump. This only happens when it's below 10deg out, which it will be all week, but I think something more than that is wrong. So we tried jumping it off a good running cherokee. We let it sit and charge for around 10min. Then I jumped in the running XJ, reved to about 3K and told him to try it. So he goes to turn the key, it makes a VERY pussy cranking noise (engine trying) but only for a second, then the running XJ (at 3K RPMS) shuts off.
It repeats this cycle everytime we try. He has 12V at the battery, but the dash is only registering 9V. There are no sparks at the starter, and I hit it a few times JIC, no change. I checked every fuse, all were good. I shuffled the relays, and that didn't help. I'm really at a loss here. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Todd
