Jeep Cherokee Starting Issues
I know alot of you guys have or know about Jeeps so I have a question.
2001 Jeep Cherokee I6. Starting when cold results in cranking for a good 5 seconds. There seems to be no difference when cold starting if I pump the gas or let the car prime a few times.
Warm starting isnt much better, maybe starts in 3-5 seconds.
Im trying to look where to start with this issue. I was trying to replace the fuel filter until I found out its all contained in the fuel pump as 1 unit :wtc:
nightshade et all halp

Fuel
spark
air
The only three things that an engine used to need :chuckles:
Is the starter turning slow or is it turning normal speed and just not firing?

Check all the wires and connections you changed?

Is this consistent or intermittent at all?
I would be checking the plug wires for consistent spark as well, it happens sometimes that one will go bad. I would also pull the plugs and check the ends for carbon build up or oil etc. while there I would get a leakdown compression check as well. Simple to do and since you are in the neighborhood and all that.

Check all wires to the starter. There is a single small one that leads to...uhh something (I forget right now) that if it comes loose can play hell with you.

I can pull the plugs and check to make sure everything is good with the wires to the starter.
