I own 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Battery died on me sitting for a week. Old battery, bad cell. Anyways, I put in a new battery and the car only turns over but does not start. ( anti theft “key symbol” went on-on dash ) Was told that it was probably a SKIM issue with SKIM MODULE, sent in pcm to have skim function deleted. . Plugged the pcm in, still have the same issue… I have no clue why the light is On, on the dash, and I have no clue why it isn’t starting. . . 2 different mechanics can’t figure it out, I feel like it’s something very very simple related to Battery dying. I have kids and a job and no vehicle now……. Any ideas? Anyone?

[@mbmansaray]

Good day. I am from Sierra Leone. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ of the same age. It cranked but did not start. The timing was reset and it can now start. But the problem now is, when the engine is running and engages gear R or D it stalls. Can you advice what is the problem?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Could be ur idle sensor

[@mattmckinley69]

My 04 jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 AWD/4WD jumped time bent valves, i replaced whole timing chain kit, installed new driver's side head, new radiator hoses, 2 new O2 sensors, MAP sensor and harness, TPS sensor, air intake sensor and harness, cam sensor, crank sensor, power steering pump, idle control valve, ignition coils, spark plugs, 1 fuel injector, all fuel injector harness, new battery terminals, all new micro mini fuses under hood and steering wheel, new battery positive negative wires, new alternator harness, engine Coolant Sensor, oil pressure sensor and harness, and other stuff and my orange key light inside orange circle above oil pressure gauge is on now, door wiring not working, fuel pump not coming on, fuel coming from injectors when twisted and pushed against, radio works, no gauges work, cranks just fine but will not start , driven it 1 time since all this work before the key light come on and just wouldn't start 1 day, OBD11 port will not connect with code scanner

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well u got lot going on did u check spark and compression and fuel And power loss to one could be power loss to ecm

[@mattmckinley69]

Not yet but definitely will, this is my first vehicle rebuilt, self teaching myself through the "what happens if I push this red button method", then fix what I tore up, and definitely learning from you and a couple others

[@mattmckinley69]

Heading to jeep right now to try that

[@MyBacktrail]

Thx for the vid, hope you can help. 2004 JGC w 4.7. Threw a rocker arm. It still ran and started up fine but obviously ran bad and was hard to start but it did start and run. So I had the engine rebuilt by a pro. New mopar timing chain set, bearings, rings, the whole nine yards. Heads rebuilt and new lifters and rocker arms. Also new spark plugs. $3,000 later, I installed the engine and it cranks but no start. It will occasionally fire but won't catch. I checked compression on 3 cylinders, checked spark on all coils with a noid light, checked fuel pressure, plugs are wet with fuel when pulled so it's getting fuel. FYI I drained the tank and put in new fuel. Replaced the cam and crank sensors. Checked for 5 volts from the PCM at the sensor harness plugs, good to go. Jumpered the ASD relay. All new battery cables and where the battery grounds connect to the frame and block were cleaned up. Still won't start. The ONLY code is the IAC, which I don't think should cause a no start. In Torque, I can see the inputs from the sensors so I don't think the PCM is completely shot. It cranks over fine, but only fires occasionally, like once every 7 seconds. O2 sensors are not yet installed. Just haven't done it yet but I don't see why that would cause this. The fact that it WILL occasionally spark then let me down makes me think it is not a fuse.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Did u check ur timing ? And if plugs r went it might be fludded I would try adding teaspoon to each cylinder see if it builds up and starts up

[@MyBacktrail]

@@RBTheMechanic I wondered about the timing though I had a pro old timer engine builder put the timing kit in. So I did a compression check and it was ~150. Can the timing be off if it is building that much pressure?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@MyBacktrail well I wouldn’t rely on timing to confirm compression or compression to timing why not check timing alignment it self

[@MyBacktrail]

@@RBTheMechanic As far as I know, I'd have to remove the timing cover? That's a huge deal.

I have a 2007 Jeep. Changed to a new battery, now it won’t start. Every time I turn the key it try’s to start, but won’t turn over. On the dash the phrase “transmission over temp” pops on. What do you think?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well it don’t turn over so first try checking oil and everything just incase but then u need to check starting system started need to turn the engine over that’s first thing

2023 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, a brand-new car with only 238 kilometers, failed to start for the first time. The dealer had to jump-start my car. I drove it for three days without any issues, but on the fourth morning, it didn't start again. I returned it to the dealer, where they checked the battery. Surprisingly, the battery was deemed healthy, and they topped it up for me. Two days later, the car failed to start again. Back to the dealer it went, and this time they replaced the battery. Everything seemed normal the next morning, and I drove to work without any problems. However, after 8 hours, the remote start through the app failed. When I got in and pressed the START BUTTOM, it displayed "key fob not detected." I attempted to start using the key fob directly, but still failed. I tried several times, and the results varied-sometimes showing "key fob not detected" and other times the screen lit up, the phone connected to CarPlay, but the engine wouldn't start. sometimes, dashboard shows ignition on, but engine not running. My jeep is in DEARER Shop, wait for checking tomorrow.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh damn they need to take that car back from u. Update me what it is.

[@QiBryan]

ok bad news, The technician replaced two batteries. After completely shutting down the car engine for 15 minutes, it was discovered that the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) automatically turned on. The DASHBOARD displays 'HOLD BRAKE AND PRESS START BUTTON.' The reason for the IPC automatically turning on is currently under investigation.@@RBTheMechanic

Quick test to rule out if it’s the crank sensor. Put a switch of some sort in to the starter relay so you can turn it over while you put your thumb on the asd relay. If you don’t feel that relay trip while it’s cranking then that means you’ve lost crank signal.
