Last question for now, I promise!! Usually, the jeep starts right up. Sometimes, however, it doesn't. It turns over but doesn't catch, and then it sounds like the starter continues to spin... I don't know how to describe it any better than that, but It's aggravating and I want to fix it... Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
Starter
- Thread starter EMTSerks
- Start date
It sounds like something is spinning, but the engine itself doesn't move? I'd bet on starter too. It's not a hard replace (3 bolts I think), and they are pretty cheap at the local parts store.
I had a CJ for about 10 years, and I had to replace the starter 4 times on that guy.

Sounds like either your starter bindex is weak or broke or teeth might be missing on your flywheel, autozone starters are pretty good, and they have a lifetime warranty, I bought my starter from them back in 03 and the bindex broke a couple weeks ago and I took it back and they gave me a new starter for free. if it's the fly wheel you'll have to take it to a machine shop and they'll have to put a new ring gear on.

4 or 6 cylinder? On my 4 banger it's only 2 bolts, 14mm socket 15 minute swap, although the second one is kinda a butt to get to. I recommend the autozone one with the lifetime warranty. With the mud and water I go through it's rough on them and I think I'm on my 4th no questions asked. In fact I recommend the lifetime warranty on anything you get for the jeep, my 4th alternator is going on this weekend
