My jeep (1990 Cherokee Laredo) has started having to turn over five or six times before it actually cranks. So, where as a normal jeep goes "chug chug chug VROOM!" my jeep is going "chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug VROOM!". I can hold the key in the full tuned position, let it chug about ten times, then it cranks, or i can try to crank it, stop, wait 30 sec, then try again and it cranks normally. Is this just an old jeep quirk or is my car about to explode?
