sinkrun Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (96 XJ auto 100,000 miles 4.0) Wifes xj has been having a hard time starting it will just crank and crank until you hold the gas down. This has started since it got cold out. I know its not a big deal if it were on mine but she has a remote start so its useless now and now is when she needs it most. Thanks for any help or ideas.
sinkrun Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 I was thinking about that and was hoping for a conformation. It does this off and on not everytime. I think a tune up, new cps,gas filter sure can't hurt.
Pete M Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 check that the CPS wires aren't touching the exhaust and check that there isn't a ton of corrosion in the CPS harness connector.
JeepcoMJ Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 fuel delivery issue. replace the filter. run some sort of injector cleaner through the tank. be prepared to replace the fuel pump. It could be the CPS...but that's not very likely in the event of a long crank/no start. my 87 does this if I don't let the fuel pump prime long enough.
JeepcoMJ Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 ....the 87 is actually all 95 parts so it's closer to that year.
