JK CRD fast cranking not starting, then starts OK after turning key on and off 3x
Hi All
My JK CRD will periodically not start - the engine will crank fine and fast (in fact slightly faster than normal so I know this problem as soon as I hear the speed) but not start. I'll turn it off and on and it will generally start immediately (with the normal crank speed). If I turn the ignition on and off 3 times then it will definitely start as per normal (in the first second or two).
It's done it for years (since near new) perhaps once every two months, but is now every second day. Does it when warm/cold/summer/winter - any time really.
Everything sounds normal but slightly faster cranking like there's a lower compression in the cylinders perhaps?
Any intel on this issue? I can't find anything with searches here, or via Google. Worried its heading for a total failure of something.
Many thanks
