Starting modern jeep question
 

Someone told me recently that a modern fuel injected Jeep with
electric fuel pump cannot be push started if it has no battery in it.
Is this true?

Yes. Same for having a dead battery in there, you are screwed.

Even in my old 86 it won't start with a push and no battery because the
alternator won't turn on with no power. It has to have a few volts in
there to get the alternator field active. The new ones have to turn on
a computer to turn on the alternator.

Push starting with no battery went out with the generator vehicles and
maybe some first generation alternators. They all need batteries of
some sort in there now.

Earle, you are out of phase with the rest of the world by an hour ahead.
Either your PC clock is off or the time zone is.

I keep reading replies to your posts before I see your posts...
