I would still try and update first or reboot it is so equipped , If this is unsuccessful then you can explore other options. start at the cheapest and work up

Sounds like the starter. You can try several things but the main idea is to start it to be able to bring it to a mechanic. Disconnect the battery and push on the brake pedal. This will drain the power from the vehicle. Reconnect the battery and try to start the car. The theory behind this is the starter solenoid could be stuck energized. You can also locate the starter slightly tap on the starter and then try to start the vehicle. Also if the vehicle has sacked for some time before you purchased it the battery may not have the cranking amps necessary to start the vehicle. The electrical gizmos will work but it will not be enough to crank the engine. Check the battery is fully charged and possibly try to hook up jumper cables to another vehicle or a jump start Appliance.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

The two lines are pick-up & return. If the two pipes are different thicknesses, then probably one pipe will be a good fit on only of the tank outlets.? Also, when you put the old pipes up to the tank connectors they may be formed into a shape which will give you a strong clue as to which way round they fitted.? Failing that, put something (like a golf tee) lightly into the ends of the two fuel pipes Then, go to the fuel-filter near the engine & take the fuel-tank side connector off. Blow down the pipe & whichever golf tee has blown out of the pipe, is your fuel pick-up & the other one will be your return pipe. Don't forget to re-connect your pipe at the fuel filter. Best of luck.

yep sounds like its failing again , if you have to replace it again I would go for a non standard one and go for a heavy duty type .

You can mount a fuel pressure guage to the engine fuel rail at its bicycle valve bleeder, with tof see if it has pressure when you first turn on the key to start. You may be able to hear the fuel pump running by listening at the fuel tank fill cap that you would remove for that moment. By turning on ignition to start, not run, you are energizing the fuel pump to bring up pressure that should happen in several seconds. So, check if it gets to normal fuel starting pressure, maybe 45 to 60 psi. Then turn key all the way to run, to get car engine running and watch the fuel pressure to see if it stays pretty constant at that 45 to 60 psi. Turn engine off, and watch how long it takes for fuel pressure to drop, and it should not happen fast but instead over 15 minutes or more. That might indicate your fuel regulator valve isn;t working right. Is it possible your starting system is the culprit, say some battery cable loose that may make starting hard or eventually quit until you tighten these cable ends at battery and starter.

need the clutch's and pressure plate replaced. clutch's are making the noise the pressure plate is making it vibrate. fix it soon.

removing the battery lead to remove the starter motor will have energized the immobilizer reset using a scan tool

If it is a double filament bulb, try to rotate by 180 degrees in base, since there is a difference in power and touch of the bottom pins

The blower motor squirrel cage blower wheel must be rubbing inside the blower case or something is in there like leaves..

When was the last time the transmission fluid and filter changed? I would have that serviced first. If it is an electronic transmission, the line pressure might also have to be reset.

Hook up a scanner and find the problem. Make sure that the injectors are pulsing. Water could have blown a fuse.

Due to the age of your jeep, You need to replace the fuel pump and filter along with replacing the water pump and thermostat as well as coolant temp sensor. Fuel supply and coolant flow and temp sensing is critical to Cold start (open loop) and warm up (closed loop) Idle function and fuel mapping. Change the air filter too.

Pull the speedo cable off at the tranny and spin the core, does the speedo move?

Take back to folks that installed it and have them address your intermittent situation. Could be the unit is defective and needs replacement.

check you manual, fuse box cover and clean the contacts on the fuse box and where it plugs in

Check the battery or try jumping it. You can also cross starter connections to turn it over(make sure it is in neutral if stick and wheels are chocked). May have burnt up a relay or the starter selonoid.

Look from side on , easy to spot which pulley is out of alignment. Look at bottom pulley too, crank/balancer can sometimes be the problem.

Have you checked for codes ? Might be your first place to begin checking on what is causing your air bag light to stay on.

NEVER NEVER USE BELT DRESSING. It's sticky and attracts grit that destroys your pulleys. Screeching is almost always caused by a worn belt tensioner. Read these posts http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/diagnose-a-belt-tensioner/ http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/diagnose-belt-noise/
