About 2 weeks ago, My jeep had a hard time starting. It would turn over but just wouldn't start. At first I thought it was bad fuel and thought it'd wait it out. But it hasn't gone away. I've also noticed that in the mornings it starts a lot easier than middle of the day when it hotter out. I'm not don't know a lot about vehicles but all I can guess it has to do with a temp sensor but I have no idea what ones to replace. If that is even the problem.

Tried that before and it makes no difference. I takes about 2-3 tries to start it.

ect if you want to test it is on front of the thermostat housing. compare its resistance of that of the iat at cold engine temp and they should be very similar if vehicle hasnt been ran or sitting in sun.

id go with checking the fuel presssure to make sure its at spec when it wont start
