| When I start my jeep after it has been sitting for over an hour it no longer starts immediately but takes 3-6 seconds to start. Under an hour(and I actually have not timed it) it starts immediately. Any ideas? Thankyou for your consideration. Larry |

I have the EXACT same problem, and a 97 Jeep grand cherokee laredo. I have replaced the Crank Shaft Position sensor (pain in the @ss to get at) with no results. Other suggestions are cam shaft position sensor, a $40 part and 1 hour of your time.. or the fuel pump is failing and the fuel bleeds back into the tank while it sits. I am finally going to take it to a mechanic and have the pressure tested, and see what they tell me before I keep trying. The fuel pump is about $180 can be done yourself, but you have to remove and lower the tank. Which.. will cost alot at $50 an hour for a mechanic to do. If you have solved your problem, or tried changing any of the above let me know. I would still rather do it myself, but I dont wanna spend the time and money fixing things that arn't broken :). If I get a solution I will be sure to post.

I also have the exact same problem with my 93 Cherokee. I replaced the Crankshaft Postition Sensor, but didn't solve the problem. I'm thinking about the fuel pump next. Just a note, when replacing the CPS it's a lot easier if you remove the air filter canister. You can reach right in there and loosen the bolts with a box wrench. Post a reply if you solve the problem.

I have the same problem also on my 1997 Grand jeep cherokee. Its the fuel pump going bad, some times there is no fuel at all coming from the fuel rail, to get the vehicle to start we just cycle the key on and off a couple of times and it fires up. But I will still have to change the fuel pump....in the tank

I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport (50,000 miles)with a similar (related?) problem. It began to take longer to start as the weather has warmed up this spring. Once after an hour or more in a hot parking lot, it took 8-10 long cranking attempts over 5 minutes in all, to get it to start. I was worried it wouldn't start at all. After that (2 weeks ago) it has had a few times where it didn't catch on the first try but immediately on the second. It seems to be better on cooler days and in the mornings. Any ideas?

| My daughter's 89 Cherokee is similarly afflicted. When cold it will take 2 MINUTES of straight cranking before it starts to run. Once running it goes great.
The fuel pump and filter have been replaced. There is sufficient fuel preasure. The Crank Position Sensor has been replaced and tested. It creates about 2 volts.
Both Chrysler and expert mechanics have given up. Thus it is now up to me. Any words of wisdom?
On the issue of removing the fuel tank to replace the pump - don't. It is too much like work. Instead just just an access hole in the floor above the unit. Then cover with a larger sized plate with SHORT sheet metal screws. |

| It takes two thing for a engine to fire and run, fuel and igniton and if it is not getting both properly It will not fire. The long crank and then start tend to suggest a fuel problem. Some vehicle have the fuel pump wired through a oil pressure switch so if oil presuure fails it will shut down engine. These models usually have a bypass that activates pump manually during startup until oil pressure comes on line. Try hot wiring fuel pump and then start it and see what happens. |

| Either your battery is dead, or you don't have a good ground at your ignition switch, or a good ground with your batter, charger or alternator. Typically when you hear a clicking sound from the starter, it's because the battery is dead, or you have a bad ground. |

| I have just replaced the fuel pump. I have spark at the coil and plugs but it won't start. I recently had to replace the radiator and water pump and it ran great until the above mentioned happened |

| Iv'e got one for ya... It's getting on my nerves. I've had several jeeps, and i loved them all. Currently have a 99 cherokee sport, and my wife's 97 cherokee sport. I've had dealigs with the nuetral safety switches before, and have taken them apart and cleaned them no problem. Changed crank position sensors plenty too. Usually one per vehicle and they never have to be changed again. This one got me tonight. It's like 99 degrees tonight, my wife calls me from the store just down the road. 97 won't start. run down with cables and wrenches in hand. Corrosion on the cables, take them off, clean them, and it's like no juice. very slow crank. Put the cables on for a boost, very slow crank and nothing. Not even a click. Pull the cover of the fusebox battery connection, placed positive cable on , wait a minute. Started right up, no problem, nice and strong. Get it home, shut her down. Slow crank and nothing....again. Took the battery out and put the charger on it, and it read almost full. Checked it in like 45 min and she was all charged. Put the battery back in, power to everything but nothing when you turn the key. I mean nothing( but the relay in the fuse box clicked). So, checked the NSS and have reverse lights, but still nothing. Makes me wonder, cable to starter bad? Power to fusebox and relays...no power to starter? Plenty of fuel in the fuel rail, pumps working.... But what the hell....I;m going to pick up a new cable, and possibly a new battery. Just found out it's nine years old. so it is possible the battery may have an issue, May read fine and full, but not enough nut or something. Anyone out there with an idea, please throw it my way! |

It was the starter...that's a first. It just siezed up. Had another one and threw it in and works fine. Starts right up. Can't even turn the armature. Like it welded itself in place. Weird. |

| Glad to hear it was only the starter. I've had dozens go bad over the years, it's a nice, easy fix. |

you can try replacing the fuel filter yourself. cheaper to do it yourself like 15 or 20 bucks. if that's not the problem then you don't loose much money in the process. |
