Wrangler Question
 

Have a 2004 Wrangler X, noticed somtimes it takes 3 or 4 cranks to start,
and when it starts there is a big puff of black smoke out of tailpipe. Could
this be it is running to rich or the 87 octane gas? or????????

It's a good reason to take the Jeep to your dealer and have
them look at it. Your not giving it fuel when starting right
that puts too much fuel in the system.

I think that's worth going to the Stealer for, all computer
controlled engines should start easily and keep running, at least until
the miles add up to needing spark plugs at twenty four thousand.

I'd be right pissed and take it in right away.. My 03 starts every
time in under 2 seconds, even in -32f the last few days without
pluggging it in... If it was to blow any smoke there would be some
real bitching at the dealer...
