I have a 2006 Rubicon and once in a while the starter will not turn over the engine. The starter engages the engine and it acts the same as an engine that is hydro locked.
When it acts up, I can not pull start because there is too much resistance on the rope. If I hit the start button and pull on the rope, it will turn over and start right up and might not happen again for days. When it does crank and start, it doesn't jump like maybe it was stuck in gear.
Most of the time it cranks over and starts right away. I checked all electrical connections and battery and so did a local dealer. The dealer had it for a week and they cranked it over several times during the week and it did not fail.
Is there a compression relief valve that could be causing my problem?
Any other ideas or tests I can do to isolate this problem?
Thanks.
