Jeep Liberty. No start at 1st try, all good after that	Sign In

Hi all,

I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty, V6 3.7L, with about 61K miles, and this is what is happening:

When I try and start the engine from a cold start -early in the morning or when the jeep has been parked for about 4hrs- on the 1st try of starting the vehicle, it fails to do so, then I let it rest for about 2 seconds, and it starts like it should.

Some times, it fails to start on the first 3 attempts, and I have noticed this happens on hot weather - in here we hit about 104 F, but it also fails early in the morning, when the tempeture is around 77~80 F.

I have changed sparkplugs and even got a new starter, but it's having the same problem.

Could it be the ignition coils or maybe clogged fuel injectors?

Anyways, here a link with a video with what I'm experiencing

Thank you, and have a nice day!

Check fuel pressure and that it holds. If hot enough once in a while I'd forgive a car/engine for needing two tries but not with anything normal,
