1st I did search and have found info close to what I am about to ask.
We have had some king hell cold temps. My 93 XJ ran fine last week after I charged the battery and had some issues with starting in the cold.
Now we have had another cold snap and when I go to start it it will turn but not start and when I get out I think I smell gas. Not my own of course.
When I popped the hood to hook up a battery charger for a quick start, the voltage was a bit low after a few cranks. I noticed I must have knocked the tube off of the overflow bottle and there was no antifreeze in it.
So to you wise jeep sages I ask you:
1. Is it too cold to start the green hornet?
2. New Distro cap?/Clean Distro Cap
3. New Battery?
4. Did I fry the radiator?
5. Did I fry something else (ECU)
6. Is the gas smell anti-freeze, and the engine is frozen
This is my winter car and the only way I can really get to Denver. I am going to make sure everything is full get a new battery and see what happens. It usually starts fine. Runs fine and I maintain it fluids, tune ups, etc.
Kind of stumped. And thanks in advance.
