Re: Help!!!!!!
Year, make, model, engine, would help.
e.g. typically the crankshaft position sensor but could be totally hosed
fuel system, etc. etc. etc.
Some models will give you diag codes if you turn the key on, off, on,
off, on.

Re: Help!!!!!!
It sounds like your starting system is OK, you have another problem,
almost certainly in the ignition system.
What is your Jeep? Something modern with electronic ignition and fuel
injection or an oldie with a conventional ignition and a carburetor?
Does it run normally once it is running? Check engine light? Anything
else strange?

Help!!!!!!
Hi guys,
I need your help... my jeep doesn't start...
Yesterday after work my Jeep didn't want to hear about starting... when I
turn the key the thing (sorry I'm not much of a mechanic) starts turning but
it doesn't start.
I got a couple of friends of mine to push the jeep and after a couple of
tries I jump started it.
I drove home and once I got in the driveway I turned it off and I tried
restarting about 8 times and every single time it started first shot.
Tonight (~6 hours later) I tried starting it again and it didn't go... I
tried boosting it and nothing... again the "thing" turns fine it seems like
I have a lot of power coming from the battery but nothing.
Any ideas what it could be? Or where I should look? If you can forward me
any diagram of the starting system it would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Giuseppe.
