Hi guys, this is the only jeep forum i belong to becuase i used to own a kj but i have a friend with a 1995 jeep grand cherokee with the 4.0 inline 6 that will not start. Not even crank over. Battery is fine and it has a brand new starter and still nothing. You turn the key and nothing. I am thinkin something to do with the ignition, does anybody have any ideas, she really needs this up and running by tomorow. Any help is appreciated!!, Thanks |

Crank position sensor We had a 98 Grand and that's exactly how ours acted, when it decided to not go. We changed our ignition and even borrowed a computer for it. No go. It ended up being the cps. The cps just shuts everything down, for some reason. We were told it is a very common issue to happen. Get back to us, when you do find out what the problem was. |

So the engine doesn't rotate? Is the new starter hooked up properly? Was the starter installed with the proper spacing/shims to operate? Can you see/hear the starter engage? |

Jeep ≠ Car, unless you like killing cats. The starter could have a bad ground, be improperly installed, or be defective. If I remember I'll grab the manual when I get home tonight and see if there are any other causes. |

new clue, the starter was fine, but when they happend to move the steering colum down, the car started, so there is a short somewhere. What kind of short would cause the car not to start? Also the stereo cuts out from time to time. |

The housing on old wiring can get brittle and break, resulting in shorts. I'd play with the steering column some more, see if I can cause the short again. If it happens again, there's a wire near it that needs replaced. The stereo could be the harness in back coming loose. |
