Hey, has anybody's jeep had difficulty starting?... my jeep seemed like it was having difficulty starting twice so far... the ignition kept trying till eventually it fired up.

 

I had this problem after i powerwashed the engine. Stupid me thought it would be a great idea to pull the hood back, stand on the bumper and hose it down.

I was told that it was my cam shaft sensor. The dealer is replacing it for me tomorrow under warranty.

 

Yes, this has happened to me a least 5 times since I've bought by Jk back in September...I'm wondering if its time to take it into the stealership...it always starts, just sometimes takes a good 2-3 seconds longer than usual

 

Same here. I had the TSB done, replaced the camshaft sensor and now it fires right up

 

Ohh yea this seems to be exactly what is happening... Thanks alot guys!

 

if it takes a few seconds to fire up after you let off the key then its NORMAL as described in the manual, if it doesn't fire up after an attempted start cycle and you need to recrank it a few times then its the TSB. But the extended crank for maybe a second or two after you let go of the key while starting is normal. The manual describes this.

Yup, this fixed mine too. Seems like this affected a lot of JKs. Makes you wonder how many OTHER things were not installed correctly by the factory.
