so this is my 1st post.. and i posted it over on jeepforums
Ok so today the jeep wouldn't start...
this morning it started up just fine, 1-2 second crank and it fired right up.
went to work, drove out to a jobsite and after it being off for 1.5-2 hours i come back, and she just cranks, i let it sit for a few minutes, curse a few times, try again and after 5 or 6 seconds she fires up... so i'm like to hell with this, i'm getting home and i'll borrow my buddies xj for the rest of the day. I get there turn it off go inside for an hour or so and come out and after 3-4 seconds it fires up. i turn it off, back on fires right up. if i leave if off for about 15-20 minutes it will crank for 2-4 seconds and then fire up...
my battery gauge is sitting a little below 14 when stopped, and kinda looks like its dropping. We didn't do a fuel pressure test, but my buddy pressed the test valve with the ignition on and it sprayed like a mofo. I'm leaning more towards battery then anything else, i just wanted some others insight.
thanks all in advance!
it also pulls a code 11, so theres gotta be something going on with the battery...
