Ok so I posted earlier in the month about having no start issues with my 88 4.0 xj http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=959425&highlight=stalling+no+start....I replaced the 6 year old wal-mart battery after getting it tested and finding that it wasnt holding a charge most of the time. After that, it seemed to run fine. I cleaned the throttle body and replaced the ccv line since that was shot and it was running better than it has been in several years.
Today, I went out to the Jeep to take my girlfriend to class and it cranked and cranked but wouldn't start. Before when the battery was bad, it would crank and sputter but wouldnt start. I took her car to class and came back tried to start it again. When it wouldn't start, I checked the fuel pressure, which was fine. I then disconnected the battery and reconnected it. After that, it started up again.
This is really confusing and kind of annoying. Anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong? Last time it died, I did the same thing and it started. I was thinking maybe the cps, but I don't understand why it starts after I reconnect the battery. I'd like to figure out what's wrong so I dont get stranded again.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post
