Hey

I purchased '97 tj... runs well..just a minor issue...never starts on the first try..it takes a couple of tries before it starts up. I had the battery tested, it's good...do I need to replace the starter?

If so where is a good place around gta to get a used one...

Lastly anyone know where I can get a soft copy of the repair manual.

thx
Indy

 

If i had to guess, and it really is a guess , I would say ecu malfunction (or the like )
Thats what controls starting the engine i believe. But please correct me if i wrong.
Hope that helps.

 

What's it doing when you turn the key? winding over but not firing? Not doing anything?

 

it tries to wind over but cant go over the "hill"...its ok with 2nd/3rd try.

 

Kind of hard to tell i guess without being right in front of it, but if the powers all getting to the starter and its not turning her over then thats the ticket!

 

k thx will give that a try...
