Title: loose wire??
Post by: Giffer on March 05, 2007, 10:49:24 PM

ok... like the title says i think its a loose wire but heres the problem, it wont start some times. but if i give it about 20 minutes to a half hour it will start up, no boost, nothing but sitting there. and no its not over heating, and my battery has a charge. oh and this only happens after i turn it off. it doesnt matter how long its been running. its happened to me twice now and last night when i was on my way home from the LOG concert it did it to me again at timmys. that sucked. any ideas??

check the battery cables.
I had something like that happen.I cut off tthe existing battery connections , and put on new ones after cleaning the lovely green crap off the wires.

Just had that happen to my ZJ.  Loose grounding wire to the PCM, wasn't being pinched by the battery terminal to maker a good connection.

Check the starter.  Had one that the bendix would not engage
if it was hot.  Many bad words till I found the problem.
