2004 V8 Grand cherokee stalls, starter delay.
 

I go to start the Jeep, turn the key, no dash lights, all guages peg, the
starter is not turning. Then after about a second. the starter turns. Jeep
runs bad, stalls if you let up on the gas. Had to take a Subaru that ran.
Try again, after 5 hours. Same thing. Odd delay to the starter, won't keep
running.
Then I turn it off, put in neutral, then park. Try to start again, and it
runs fine, no starter delay either.

I do the on/off sequence to get codes from the ecu. It says done on the
odometer, meaning there was nothing wrong and I imagined it all.
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks.

A loose or dirty battery cable end can cause stuff like that. Sometimes
you can try it and after it does that go 'carefully' feel all the
battery cable ends, especially the ground ends. If you find a warm or
hot one you have found a bad connection.
