95 Cherokee Sport -- cold starting problem

Re: 95 Cherokee Sport -- cold starting problem
Sorry about the accidental posting in HTML.
Here's what I sent originally:
My 95 Cherokee Sport 4.0 has begun to have erratic starting problems.
Sometimes it fires right up. But other times, it takes 5 - 15 attempts
before it catches. Once in a while it simply wonıt start at all. In those
cases Iıve left it for a day and then next day, it started.
Conditions:
It didnıt begin doing this until mid-Oct. when overnight temps dropped into
the 50s.
It only does it when the engine is dead cold (It starts fine when fully hot
or simply after running for 10-15 min. you can shut it off, come back a
while later and it will fire right up).
It doesnıt always do it. Sometimes, you can start it from dead cold and it
will fire right up.
When the problem occurs, sometimes:
-- the starter cranks strong but the engine just doesnıt fire, or
-- the starter cranks strong and then the engine begins to fire but as soon
as you let off the starter it wonıt catch and dies, or
-- often it can be solved by holding the pedal to the floor. But sometimes,
when you do that, it begins to catch and then stops when you let off the
starter.
It seems that when the outdoor temp is super cold (35 or so) the likelihood
of the engine firing right up increases.
Any ideas?

Re: 95 Cherokee Sport -- cold starting problem
Sorry about the accidental posting in HTML.
Here's what I sent originally:
My 95 Cherokee Sport 4.0 has begun to have erratic starting problems.
Sometimes it fires right up. But other times, it takes 5 - 15 attempts
before it catches. Once in a while it simply wonıt start at all. In those
cases Iıve left it for a day and then next day, it started.
Conditions:
It didnıt begin doing this until mid-Oct. when overnight temps dropped into
the 50s.
It only does it when the engine is dead cold (It starts fine when fully hot
or simply after running for 10-15 min. you can shut it off, come back a
while later and it will fire right up).
It doesnıt always do it. Sometimes, you can start it from dead cold and it
will fire right up.
When the problem occurs, sometimes:
-- the starter cranks strong but the engine just doesnıt fire, or
-- the starter cranks strong and then the engine begins to fire but as soon
as you let off the starter it wonıt catch and dies, or
-- often it can be solved by holding the pedal to the floor. But sometimes,
when you do that, it begins to catch and then stops when you let off the
starter.
It seems that when the outdoor temp is super cold (35 or so) the likelihood
of the engine firing right up increases.
Any ideas?

Here's what I sent originally:
My 95 Cherokee Sport 4.0 has begun to have erratic starting problems.
Sometimes it fires right up. But other times, it takes 5 - 15 attempts
before it catches. Once in a while it simply wonıt start at all. In those
cases Iıve left it for a day and then next day, it started.
Conditions:
It didnıt begin doing this until mid-Oct. when overnight temps dropped into
the 50s.
It only does it when the engine is dead cold (It starts fine when fully hot
or simply after running for 10-15 min. you can shut it off, come back a
while later and it will fire right up).
It doesnıt always do it. Sometimes, you can start it from dead cold and it
will fire right up.
When the problem occurs, sometimes:
-- the starter cranks strong but the engine just doesnıt fire, or
-- the starter cranks strong and then the engine begins to fire but as soon
as you let off the starter it wonıt catch and dies, or
-- often it can be solved by holding the pedal to the floor. But sometimes,
when you do that, it begins to catch and then stops when you let off the
starter.
It seems that when the outdoor temp is super cold (35 or so) the likelihood
of the engine firing right up increases.
Any ideas?

Re: 95 Cherokee Sport -- cold starting problem
Just a note on the foot to the floor starting, be careful when doing this
when the temperature gets lower, you might end up doing engine damage that
will take a few years to notice. Right now I have the 283 out of my 57
Pontiac in the shop getting rebuilt as the previous owner commented he would
start the engine once a month when it would get really cold.

when the temperature gets lower, you might end up doing engine damage that
will take a few years to notice. Right now I have the 283 out of my 57
Pontiac in the shop getting rebuilt as the previous owner commented he would
start the engine once a month when it would get really cold.

Re: 95 Cherokee Sport -- cold starting problem
Just a note on the foot to the floor starting, be careful when doing this
when the temperature gets lower, you might end up doing engine damage that
will take a few years to notice. Right now I have the 283 out of my 57
Pontiac in the shop getting rebuilt as the previous owner commented he would
start the engine once a month when it would get really cold.
