#5 of 9 jeep limited 2001 hard starting by floridadog Jul 09, 2009 (12:56 pm)
my jeep limited just started acting up since it was new! when i start the engine it takes several times 3-4 and then slowly starts up and after 15 secs starts running normal. i added some seafoam to gas and oil but it made no impact. i was wandering if anyone with this engine type v-8 has experienced this. its been acting like this for about a week. could it be the gas filter clogged? thanks for any replys on this.

Replying to: debramcgee (Aug 17, 2009 10:11 am) I actually just changed all my spark plugs and spark plug wires and the problem went away. Replies to this message: jsen (Nov 16, 2009 10:01 am)

Replying to: tdale1 (Aug 17, 2009 10:19 am) I have had the same problem for about a year now (starts the second or third time every time and once it is running no problems). I did my plugs, but not my ignition coils. It seemed to help, but it did not fix it completely. Did you change your ignition coils or the spark plug wires?   I have also read a lot of suggestions for replacing the crank position sensor for the same problem as well. Has anyone tried that?

Replying to: tdale1 (Jun 29, 2009 1:39 pm) Sounds like your temperature sensor. Just had mine replaced for $ 158.00. They are easy to put in if you know anybody that can do it. You can buy the part at autozone. Good LUck
