Hello everyone, I am new here, My name is Marc and I just bought a 1997 Jeep wrangler SE, shes got 68k miles and runs very strong. I only have one complaint, it starts real hard. I was told this is somewhat normal and all jeeps turn over a few times before firing because of the way the crank sensor is setup. My jeep does this everytime if I let it sit for more than five minutes, it'll start hard again and when it does it sputters once and then runs like a dream all day long, I actually had the jeep sitting in water when I got stuck up to the headlights, I had to leave it running for almost 2 hours before getting it out with a come a long because the exhaust was way underwater and it sat tehre and idled like a dream the whole time. Its just the startup, maybe plugs and wires will cure this? I added some STP fuel system cleaner the last two tanks of gas, and put in a K&N air filter which helped a lot. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Glad to have found a site for the 4 bangers, at first I was unsure about my purchase but after reading this site I think the old 4 banger will be ok. :wink:
