Guess everyone is as confused as I am. Thinking about just flipping it and making a hundred on it. I don't have the time or space to start tearing into the timing. Really was hoping for the easy fix, but I don't have that kind of luck lol.

Gonna throw this out there and see what y'all think. If this was an older car I would be thinking timing. Is it common for timing to be able to jump in these 3.7s

Not the python remote start. It really acts like it wants to start, but the gas flowing out of the muffler drain has me baffled. The mass air flow sensor couldn't cause this, could it?

I am going to try the reset process today. Neither the normal key and fab or the remote start will lock or unlock the doors. So hopefully resetting the system fixes the issues. I don't have high hopes though, my luck doesn't work that way.

After doing a lot of reading, I found out that the dead jeep battery can make the system need to be reset. Can the system needing reset keep it from starting with the key? Never had a remote starter before. Don't want to rip into the steering column if I don't have to lol.

Yes it has a remote but can't figure out how it works. Gonna do a little research to figure out where it is and disconnect it. I press the buttons and nothing happens.

I was able to check the fuel pressure today. Key in on position, goes to 50 psi. Wasn't able to check the Sparks because had nobody to turn the key for me. But it acts like it's going to start then just doesn't. New detail I did find out. It has an after market remote starter for cold days.

That's the other thing I am going to check tomorrow. The liberty is at work so not working on it on the weekend.

Yes NGK gapped at .044

Thank you

Just thinking about what you said. If the regulator is bad and allowing pressure to get high, could be flooding before it had a chance to start?

No codes. Just figured fuel pressure was okay since I smell it and it is coming out the muffler drain hole. I will rent a pressure gauge and check.

I just bought this liberty for cheap knowing it wouldn't start. Figure I can get my money back if I have to part it out. It has the 3.7 4x4 looks great 180 k miles. Here is what is going on: hasn't been running for couple of months after running like crap and left the previous owner stranded...

Just bought a Jeep liberty 08 3.7 180k miles. Hopefully can get it running to give to my granddaughter.
