Starting problems
 

I have an 86 Grand Cherokee. It's have strange starting problems. I
turn the key and will just get a click,from the starter.But not tuning
over. If i hold the key in the on position it will eventually crank
and start. But not allways. Sometimes i need to turn the key on and
off a few times till it finally starts.
Does antone have any suggestions for me,it woukd be a great help.

Thanks in advance.
Brian.

You are describing a dirty connection. I would start by cleaning the
battery cables on both ends.

I have replaced the battery, the connections are clean. Not sure what
else to do.

Re: Starting problems
 

Are the connections clean at both ends? Battery + to starter, battery - to
