turns over slow, hard to start
« on: 05/ 9/09 - 05:27PM »
I can get it to start but it acts like the battery is nearly dead. Slow turning NO CODES
200TJ 4.0 auto
If I push the gas and keep it revved it'll stay running until I let off the gas pedal.
After it is warmed up a little it will stay running on its own, but if I turn it off it still has a hard time starting again????
 I let it run about an hour today then shut off and restarted with the same problem.

NEW
-Battery
-Alternator
-TPS
-cleaned and dielectric greased all connections
-starter was removed and tested good at parts store.

I vote for the starter getting weak. How close is it to the exaust manifolds?

It must be that mega compression of your over built motor! ;)

I hope you get it figured out soon so it wont potentially leave you stranded on the trail somewhere.

If you turn the key into the on position for a few seconds before starting does it fire faster?
