| Post subject: | Long Shot - Not Porsche related - Help with Jeep |
Hi All, Just went to get my 928 out of the garage for the MOT in the morning and needed to move my jeep. Hadnt driven it for a week or so and it wouldnt start. I tried jumping it and reluctantly it came to life. I gave it a bit of gas for a while, but as soon as I tool my foot off the accelerator it just died! After a little while I manged to get it to idle on its own without my foot on the accelerator, but as soon as I reved it a bit it just died. Dont know where to start and really fed up as was planning on getting the MOTd and fixed. Now looks like I need to spend the money on the jeep instead. Its a 4.7 H.O Grand Cherokee 2003. Thanks in advance! Regards Paul |

Thanks Guys .... I think its fixed (fingers crossed!) I found out how to show fault codes went back to the Jeep and did the process, it showed no faults so I started it and it ran spot on! Thank God for that ..... I was scared at what bills the 928 will throw up tomorrow without the Jeep and the Audi service light came on yesterday! The only thing that is a bit of a mystery is why the battery was dead in the first place. Also I notice the battery level indicator is flicking a bit around 14 volts (only a couple of mm side to side) - not sure if this is normal. perhaps this happens as it recharges. The battery is a mercedes one, so probably the original ... I might change that as a precaution. Panic half over for now! Regards Paul |
