My '95 YJ (2.5 engine) started having this problem just yesterday. I
turn the key and the starter starts to run for an instant then it cuts
off and nothing moves and makes no noise. I turn the key to off and
immediatly to start again and it fires right up and runs fine. It has
not (yet) happened on any first start of the day, just later starts.
On the first start, I usually let the fuel pump run until I hear the
relay click it off and then start the jeep. On later starts I usually
just start directly without waiting for the click.

Classical CPS problem?

Thanks in advance.

 

Sounds like a weak battery or starter from here. Hot you don't have
enough power to push through the diesel or pre ignition, but after it's
bounced back inertial will kick it through, until the battery is too weak
even for that.

If the starter quits after half a second, then works on the next key
hit, look for bad cables. They typically go bad inside the crimped ends,
either corrosion or fatigue does them in. Consider just replacing all 3
cables, they are fairly cheap ($20 for all 3)

The battery was in the jeep since before I bought it about 1.5 years
ago so who knows how long it has been there. Also the jeep had not
been run for a long distance for about two weeks. I´ll start by
cleaning the cables, then consider changing them, and then consider a
new battery. Now thinking about it, I had a weak start about a month
ago. Thanks for your help.
