fixed my starting problem now have another....

1996 G.Cherokee, 2wd, 206k, I6, auto...(green)

Had starting problem, would have to crank, then stop, crank again before it would start. Made no difference cold/hot, no matter if I put the key to on position for a minute... I changed the TPS, and it starts first time, everytime. (still have ABS light on, oh well.) Static discharge upon leaving vehicle has gone the way of one sock in the dryer.

Now, heres the new one... after a 550 mile RT (DFW/SAT) my gal-pals feet are soaked, and so is the carpet. its A/C condensate. I have looked ALL over for the drain, but I can't find it. I've gandered at the pic in the chiltons,I'm here to tell ya, it ain't there!. no hole in firewall, no tube, no nuttin', what gives? pulled carpet, its soaked, am drying now.

nunya proclaimed:

During dry weather, you can usually control it by wiping down the interior you slide on with fabric softener sheets, spray the carpet with highy dilute fabric softener. Computer geeks have used it for decades to help control static, works better on carpet than the anti-static sprays.

Or wear copper underwear....
