This is in regards to my 91 MJ, 4.0, auto, 2wd.
I been having strange issues the past couple days with the starter. I have ruled out a battery issue.
When the starter itself is warm, it does not want to turn over. It will but it does so extremely slow. The reason I say warm is that even when the jeep sits in the sun all day it has trouble turning over. But of course it will never do it at home because its usually 4 in the morning when im leaving the house and the starter would be cool at that time. I was just out in the yard a little bit ago and tried it; jeeps been sitting in the shade and its probably only 60 above, worked like a charm.:bang:
It has not left me stranded...yet. I just dont know if this could be a starter motor problem, solenoid issue, wiring problem.....
I just dont want to get stranded at work with the dang thing. I work in a mine and its not like someone can just drive through security and come pick me up at work.....almost like working on a air force base or something..
