My jeep has been sitting for three months, ran great when I parked it. Now it won't start. Its turning over and wants to grab but just won't. I peplaced the plugs, they are getting spark and are wet with fuel. Tried ether and that won't do it either. Put in 20l fresh fuel as well. I can hear the fuel pump start upon ignition. Any suggestions? Could it be the battery doesn't have enough juice to turn it fully over? Or would it not even turn if that was the case?

Does it turn over at a normal cranking speed or is it slow? If it is slow put a charger on the battery for a few hours and try again.

. Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Only use the same Champion spark plugs that originally came in the vehicle.
. Remove and fully charge the battery. Most auto parts stores will do this for free.
