Hey All:
I've got a 90 Limited (RENIX) with an unusual problem - sometimes it'll start, sometimes it won't - it'll just crank and crank until I kill the battery.
Now, it's not unusual for an older XJ to have a starting problem - but this is: When the Jeep won't start, if I pull the fuel pump relay and have someone turn it over, it'll start right up. Of course, have to plug back in the relay immediately or the Jeep will die.
I've replaced the fuel pump, filter, and regulator. I've also checked the CPS (240 Ohms) and the plugs, cap, and rotor. I also searched around the engine for loose wiring or connectors, vacumm lines, etc. with and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
