Finally getting back to you on this. Got the crank shaft position sensor changed and have been driving the car now for about 2 weeks with no problems. Hooray!!! While the hot weather seemed to be involved and we have not had any hot weather since we got the rig back, it looks like this did...

Great suggestions. I'm not going to go down the fuel pump road yet. And we'll probably go for the position sensor next ... maybe next week. Thank you!

My mechanic is working on the fuel filter now. I'll discuss it with him. Thank you!

That sounds like the problem. My mechanic is working on the fuel filter right now, but we have already discussed changing out that position sensor. Great suggestion ... THANK YOU!

My mechanic is working on the fuel filter now. I'll check with him.

My bad ... I responded to you but didn't hit the reply button earlier. So it's down below. I do have another related question: Why would the position sensor not work when hot, but after cooling down, does just fine? Another related thought though ... it runs fine at all speeds when...

My last post was for Billwill. CFarrar: That sounds interesting also. My latest 'investigation' indicates that it is simply engine heat that is causing the problem. Two days ago it was cooler ... and it started up no problem at any time. Today, after running a while this morning, I parked...

Didn't work. Thanks anyhow.

Thank you! I'll check this out and let you know.

We have a 2005 KJ with the CRD engine. For some time now, we've had problems with it starting when the engine is hot ... or if we've parked in the sun in the summer (or winter sometimes). This has been going on for over a year and seems to be getting worse. We've talked to a number of...

This one is a 2005 model. I believe it's a 2.7 Liter engine. No block heater came with it. Part of the problem is that we're 3+ hours away from the nearest dealer. I talked to the local NAPA store, but they couldn't find anything in their normal suppliers. The battery we have seems fine...

Battery is new. And I'm using 5W-30 synthetic oil. I have a 3/4 ton diesel truck and if I don't keep it plugged in, it will do the same thing.

I'm looking for a block heater for my Jeep KJ. We are living in the mountains in Idaho and there have been several times when our rig just won't start in the mornings. Temps in the -10 to -20 range are not uncommon. If it gets warm later in the day (into the 20's), it will usually start then...

I have an 05 factory diesel that sometimes will turn over but simply won't start. This usually happens when the engine is warm and has been run for a while. However, I let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then it will start right up. The longest time I've had to wait is an hour. (In that event...
