Every so often my 2003, 3.7 Jeep Liberty will fail to start. The engine cranks, and just keeps on cranking but wont start. If I try again right away, the problem repeats but if I wait about 20 to 30 seconds it will start and there will be a heavy gas/exhaust smell. For some background, I have done alot of work on this jeep. The issue seems to have originated during a problem with my cam and crank sensors. I have replaced both of those as well as all the EVAP lines in the engine compartment including the purge vent solenoid. Right now I am leaning towards a vacuum leak somewhere in the fuel line, or maybe some spark plugs. Any suggestions or ideas anyone has would be appreciated. |

I'm definitely not a mechanic, but I'd recommend going for the cheap options first. Change your spark plugs and run some sea foam through the system and see if it gets better. It'll cost $30 and it probably needs to be done anyway. I think the spark plug recommendations on the KJ is every 30,000 miles. Also, check your air filter and make sure you don't have a colony of mice living in there. |
