It is not getting gas. Could be bad fuel pump,and most are now in the fuel tank.If it is the fuel pump and it is in the tank,this can be a fairly major expense.($400-$500)This is not an unusual problem,and many auto repair shops can do it.

do you have a factory installed security system if so take your door to passenger door and turn twice should reset it you may have to take the panel off and look for a plastic device at the end of the door key mechanism may have fallen off i had this problem too changed out a battery did not know about the security feature it was that simple no fuel pump problem or sensor issues just a bs security feature mine is a 1994 limited 5.2L

SOURCE: car will not start

If this is a six cylinder, there were problems with the fuel pressure regulator leaking gas into the vacuum line creating a flooded condition. You might want to check map sensor,crank sensor.

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee remote starter keeps draining battery

A Simple Battery DRAW test w/ test light to Determine there is a Draw on Battery. With EVERYTHING OFF will determine that Something is Drawing Battery Down. Test light "Clamp on Neg" At Bat And the POKER AT CABLE, if it lights up you have a Draw
To Determine were it is, Pull Fuses out 1 by 1 Watching Light puting Fuse back in When you Pull a Fuse that turns the Test light off you found the Circuit that is Draining the Battery if it is A Circuit that Remote Starter is Connect to refer to Installer to Correct the Problem

NOTE TEST Light Connected this way and Electrical System in Tact Light WILL NOT BE LIT at ALL
Dont forget to keep doors closed during this Procedure

SOURCE: 95 jeep grand cherokee engine won't idle

check your air intake ducking for cracks....

the problem is probably there, wether you have a broken ducking or a cracked air intake gasket wich allows too much air in the intake manifold....

if the ducking and the gasket are good you might have a timing problem....

sounds like a bad pump, filter or both. Do some testing before replacing though, a bad crankshaft sensor can do pretty much the same thing! Parts are not cheap...testing is very important!!!

If the starter dims the lights noticeably when activated the starter is the culprit. If it got stuck and ran with the engine the bearing will cease and the starter will not turn. Dry bendix and or bearings will prevent starter to swing. If the rotor is touching the field coils it will short and will not turn.

Does it have spark while cranking the engine? Will it start while cranking and spraying starting fluid/carb cleaner into intake? If it still does not start with the spray fluid, check your crank sensor.

My jeep grand cherokee laredo, 2000, wont start... engine turns over - battery works - just won't start???

engine turns over so starter is ok. chrysler computer can cause this situation. Many computer module warranties were extended by chrysler because of problems. check with dealer. They can scan computer to verify. Make sure you try starting fluid first to see if fuel pump is out. have someone spray into air filter box while trying to start car. if pump is bad it will start.

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 6 cylinder won't start. It turns over but seems like gas isn't getting to it. Any way to check for a solution to the problem?

Spray some starting fluid into the air intake for a couple seconds, then try to start. If it starts for a couple seconds and dies, you have a fuel delivery problem i.e. fuel pump or relay,
