1989 Jeep Cherokee Random Starting Issues?
We've been babying our old 1989 Cherokee along while we save to get a new car. Pretty good luck so far, but yesterday ...
The Jeep wouldn't start at the end of the work day. Cranked fine, sounded normal, battery wasn't run down, nothing left on to drain the battery. It just wouldn't turn over. (Although we didn't give it any throttle - didn't want to flood it.) We brought a friend's car over and connected the jumper cables just for the heck of it ... and it started right away. Instantly. Brought it home. It's been starting every time. No issues.
Battery is 6 months old (although drained a few times), starter and coil are new last year. Plugs are new, revs on start-up, up to 2k or so, and then settles down (but I understand that's normal).
Any ideas about the random starting problem?

idk if these model Jeeps have an alternator but it might be worth a shot to look at.

it is the gasoline clear out . It has a geared up in tension regulator it fairly is caught open . it is going to run some cases whilst chilly then after a block or 3 runs like a block of airborne dirt and dirt . which will reason the topics which you assert . And it is the main inexpensive fix . If that may not it i'm going to consume a horse
