My Jeep takes a while to start often. I turn the key to "on" for a few seconds to prime the injectors then turn it over. It cranks and cranks and cranks. Almost every cold start I have to crank it for a few seconds then start again and itll start perfect the second time.
I thought it was my CPS, but that didnt change anything. Any ideas?

Put the front doors back on then roll the windows down. The window circuit all goes thru the drivers side front master window switch. Without that switch the rear windows don't have power.

So I guess that is why I can work all my windows from the master switch but no other window switches work... I need a new master switch?

That is most likely because the master window lock switch is faulty. You can bypass that switch so that the windows will work but you won't be able to lock them anymore.

IMO, there's not much point in leaving the rear windows rolled up if the front doors are off... Just take all 4 doors off.

I pulled off my door panels after i got new speakers and noticed that the original speaker was rusted on the back. And after leaving the door panel off for a storm I noticed there was water inside my door. What should I do to prevent my new speakers from getting ruined.

What you guys think about pulling an engine at a pick n pull by myself? They use a forklift to pull it out and take it back up to my truck but I can't get anyone to go up with me for awhile..

Our PaP has huge a-frame engine hoist that you use. I've pulled 4.0s by myself. It's doable.

Is there anything I can do to make my windshield look cleaner?
I tried taking a pic, but it didn't really show well.
I heard about using a clay bar to clean it, then wax it. What kind of clay bar? I've honestly never seen the product. Also, what kind of wax? Just any car wax?

Oh yea, cleaned it multiple times with good glass cleaner.
It looks like crud from the PO never cleaning it good or something. I'm having a hard time telling if its just small nicks and gouges or not.
Still interested in waxing it, if that'd help keep it cleaner.

Window cleaner and newspaper. Then rainex. If that don't do it throw a rock at it and call the insurance company.
