2000 4.0 will not start.
Brief history, 2 weeks ago got in started it, idle speed kept dropping off. I had washed it the day before thought maybe got water in air intake. Took out air filter no water or wet. Put filter back in started, and idled ok I felt it idled kind of low maybe 600 RPM.
I have been driving it since then, however it always cranked over like a week battery. The battery is for sure week maybe only 8 volts on meter in dash. I went to jump it, it Cranked nice and strong, but no start. I think I am getting fuel pressure. I had fuel come out of schrader valve on fuel rail.
I pulled coil packs which to my surprise also had spark plug boots.( Bet these aren't cheap). I didn't check for spark or pull plugs yet.
Any ideas? It was running fine when I parked it last night. What bothers me is the way it started acting up 2 weeks ago, and slowly got to a point where it wouldn't start.
