How it all started: Driving down the road, minding my own business.... and *BAM*!! Something sounded like it "let loose" and my jeep sounded like a lawn mower. Checked under the hood... A spark plug blew. Detached the electric to the cylinder to get it 2 miles so I could pull over and change it...

So I pulled off the road to sit out a sudden heavy rain storm and stalled out. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get my to Jeep started back up. It has a new battery (six months), and it's getting fuel. The engine turns but won't start. I've replaced the distributor, rotor, plugs, wires and...

Hi Everyone, I am a proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler 2008 X with a slew of problems. The most recent one now is that the engine won't turn on the first crank. Sometimes it will turn on the 2nd crank, sometimes it takes about a minute. When the issue happens it has a failing sound and almost like...

So I woke up one day and the key wouldnt turn/ start my jeep anymore. No matter how much jiggling wiggling and other stuff it wouldnt work. So I swapped out the ignition cylinder and that part is now functioning perfectly. BUT, when I turn the key from the locked position and twist forward in an...

My 87 YJ is confused. I turned the key/ignition off but the motor kept running (even removed the key). The only way to turn it off was to stall. Any ideas? Here are some things I've noticed: - With the key removed, the radio didn't work but the parking brake light would be on if the parking...

2000 jeep wrangler 4.0 manual transmission will crank but doesnt turn over. I assumed it was a fuel pump issue, no luck. Fuel pump pressure reads almost 50. checked fuses and relays, all good. Dash gauges are working, turn signals and radio working fine. *** Played in the sand and water a...

I feel like this is a good post for the tj part of the forum. Tj's take a good 5 to 6 seconds to turn-over and it annoys me. What ways can I speed this up so I'm not sitting there going "come on baby you can do it" every morning? I'm guessing its better spark plugs, ignition, starter, ect. but...

Here's what I have: 90 YJ Saraha with tilt steering wheel Ignition key is pretty worn down (may/may not be an issue) When starting, I have to turn the key hard -- all the way -- to start Sometimes it doesn't want to start, most of the time it does So I'm looking for advice. Do I replace the...

Evening Folks, I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler X (4.0L 6 speed) and I can't get it to start. I was able to start it by pushing it/popping the clutch, and drove it over to autozone. They tested the battery, said it was good, and that I needed a new starter. Bought the starter, swapped it out with...

I have a 2013 Rubicon with a manuel trans and sometime when I shut the vehicle off, remove the key and open the door a warning chime sounds until I close the door, put the key back in the ignition and switch it on and off again. Anyone else experience this??? What is the issue??? Oh, and by the...

Does anyone know anything about the key release for an automatic 06 TJ? Should the key be able to be removed from the ignition when the Jeep is not placed in park? My key is able to be removed from the ignition even when it's not in park, and I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen.This...

Hi all! I'm looking to upgrade my ignition from the crappy stock coil and distributor to something more high end. My dad says to go with a simple MSD setup, but I've also heard glowing praise from HEI and Mallory. Does it really matter?? I'd appreciate any opinions. This is gonna go in an 89...

Within the last month "sometimes" when i go to start my jeep its starts but its not right it sound like its not firing in the right order. Sometime if you leave it it will work itself out but most the time im afraid to keep it running. So i stop it and try it again , and agian until it starts...

Hi im from costa rica and i have a 93 wrangler jeep and i have this problem : usually when i put my car key in ignition the car last like 10 second to do the system check and the car is able to start, but a month ago the waiting time was more than 10 seconds and it was like 30 seconds, today i...

So, my 89 wrangler is running terrible right now. It's got the 4.2L I6 AMC 258 with a weber carb. All of a sudden it won't idle. It seems to run best between 2000 and 3000 rpm. Below that it sputters and dies. Above that and it runs real erratic. I've looked at the vacuum advance and it does...

My 97 TJ's ignition has locked up. It will not turn over at all. It will turn far enough for the radio and everything to come on, but after that it just feels locked up. Any ideas on what the problem is?

I was just inspecting some things in my engine and I pulled the dist cap off and noticed that the contacts are burned and have black build up on them. It doesn't seem to be hindering the performance. The wire contacts are clean as a whistle and the plugs show the normal wear of a healthy...

My buddy and I both have the same exact Jeep Wrangler TJ 2002 Automatic and we both have the same problem. If you turn the ignition key all the way nothing happens leading you to believe maybe you have a bad starter or dead battery but if you turn it slowly just before the stop it will engage...

Hi I have 2004 wrangler, have had no issues. Tried to start it today and there is no power in ignition switch. The only thing that turns on is the a/c heater blower. When I try to start it I can hear one click in the relay/fuse area behind glove box. Please and thank you

On my 2000 Wrangler. I must have the coded keys because when I'd try to start it with the extra key I had cut, it would turn off after a few seconds. I'm up at a ski hill and I'm having that spare brought up tomorrow morning, but I don't think it'll work. I think I've somehow gotten it to...
