Afternoon - many many of the Jeep water pumps have an impellor ( moves the coolant) that is made a abs plastic. This, when the impellor starts to fail it does not hold its shape and move the coolant.
please look at all the other suggestions - coolant hoses that collaspe when hot - old thermostat etc.
 
but most jeep motors that i get that have blown head gaskets have BAD water pumps.

96 Jeep Wrangler Spins but won't crank immediately by jeepers60

When I turn the ignition to crank the 4.0L it spins but will not attempt to crank for up to 7-8 attempts. It will finally crank and when it does it runs fine, but I'm hesitant to venture out very far. You can kill it and it will restart after 2-3 attempts, if the restart is within minutes of killing it. When I turn the ignition on I get all of the check lights and instrument activity like normal. Does this sound like a fuel pump or fuel filter issue?

It sounds like it's your selenoid that sits on your starter. The selenoid is what causes your starter to engage the flywheel when you turn the key.

No, the starter is engaging and the engine is turning over but it won't crank for 7-8 attempts. It is like it is lacking fire or fuel. Like I stated the check engine light comes on when I turn on the ignition so I don't suspect the computer as the problem. The puzzling thing about this is when it finally cranks it runs just fine. I am a little uneasy to venture to far for fear that it may not crank on the 7th or 8th try one day. It has always cranked quickly and easily. Does this even resemble a fuel pump or fuel filter problem. Please advise.

Jeep Master Cylinder Location by davedenn
Oct 03, 2009 (4:07 pm)
Reply
I have an 83 CJ-7 that has a T-5 Warner trans. I am attempting to locate the clutch master cylinder that I have been told should be on the vehicle. I can't find it! Can anyone give me a clue where to look? The manual (Chilton) says it is under the hood, but I don't see anything that looks even vaguely like the picture of the thing.
 
Thanks,
 
Dave

1996 Jeep Wrangler--By pass auto kill switch by dustie1
Oct 16, 2009 (3:00 pm)
Reply
Is there any way to bypass the automatic kill switch, I would like to start my Jeep and keep it running. My Jeep is an automatic is the kill switch internal or external this is also 4 cyl as well. We need to bypass the auto kill switch so we can read the codes to see what's wrong with it. Any help would be great.

86 CJ Wiper Question by davedenn
Nov 14, 2009 (5:12 pm)
Reply
I have an 86 CJ7. The windshield wipers park rather high on the windshield instead of near the bottom. Is there an adjustment either on the motor or the wiper linkage that can be adjusted so they park near the bottom of the windshield?
 
Thanks for all your help in the past, you're all great people!
 
Dave
