I have had this problem for years with my wifes 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It would be intermittent and yesterday I think I found the cause. The producer of this video of this correct it is indeed vapor lock, but check your coolant level! I had a leaking water pump- and this caused my Jeep to began doing this no start but crank condition. While replacing this water pump, I also decided to flush my coolant system. After installing the new pump I began to refill the system with coolant. I took the car for a ride, and noticed it was getting hotter than normal due to a air pocket in the coolant system. This really aggravated the no start symptom (vapor lock).- worse than ever before! Once I completely filled the coolant the car was fine the rest of the day. Having low coolant would effect the temperature of the intake manifold and the fuel rails are right there. So in short- YES this is vapor lock, but check your coolant system for the proper coolant level- this will allow the temp to stay low. This is why these cars did not due this when new. Once leaks develop, or fluid levels are not correct, the temp will rise and cause the vapor lock. In fact this is the 3rd water pump I have installed, and all my crank but no starts started happening when these pumps began leaking.

Glad I came to this video, I have resolved this issue a few years ago, by just adding non ethanol fuel to the tank; those new gasoline mixes contains crazy amounts of ethanol (I live in Florida and gets pretty hot) while resting in the hot rails ethanol will boil at a lower point than just regular pure gasoline and therefore create vapor lock. Of course non ethanol fuel is extremely expensive especially right now, I simply add a can or two of seafoam to neutralize the ethanol and avoid vapor lock. Hope my 2 cents help! 😁

Right there behind your battery,The purge solenoid is part of the evaporative emissions system that takes the vapor from the tank through a charcoal canister and opens so the vapor is sucked into the intake and burnt rather then released to the atmosphere. Problem is the fuel is boiling due to excessive alcohol content that lowers the boiling point of the fuel .Heat soak is an issue with many .Worked as a Chrysler tech for years back when they had Daimler.We had a TSB ON THE 4.0L and had to add heat shields to the fuel rail and open up the rubber next to the radiator to give it air . Try a different brand of fuel .Different then they were 10 years ago .Try washing out your radiator and condenser fins for better cooling air flow. .There may be a computer reprogram also for this issue maybe .Chrysler is not one to brag about these issues unless you ask.

Engine probably needs to come apart .Pull the heads and timing chain cover and inspect and see what is still good. Possible piston damage can happen when it hits the valve if your unlucky to be blunt. Hope this helps.

Right before this happened, I was driving low speed around parking lot, so these were prime conditions for heat buildup, vehicle was parked for about 20 minutes, then no start condition. After three short cranks it started, when its cranking it does sound much worse than vapor lock condition, probably cuz this engine has never cranked more than 1 second in 15 years and always starts no issue, same starter, the drivetrain is military grade with Mercedes W5A580.

So im going to say this if this might help try copper or aluminum clips around the entire fuel line instead of plastic. It could actually eliminate the problem because of its heat dispacing qualities, it may also be prudent to put some sort of polymer/plastic jacketing over the those clips to get the reduction in top heat. Try it out.

Did you have any issues with an intermittent misfire, i.e. misfires while driving or at a stop light only when the engine is hot? Popping the hood to allow extra airflow in the engine bay helps considerably to alleviate the misfires unless it's really hot outside. Scan tool only shows codes for p0300 (random misfire) and p0201-208 (fuel injector circuit malfunctions). The wiring seems fine, I'm stumped.
@CCWP0251

Cole, I did not have those issues with my Jeep. However that is a common problem with most modern vehicles that utilize a coil-over-plug system. When coil packs start to go bad, they'll begin to deteriorate on the inside. This causes intermittent misfires only when the engine is hot. The P-0300 code is simply telling you "I know there is an intermittent misfire, but it is not frequent enough to pinpoint which cylinder." If you can, warm the vehicle up and put it in a situation where it will steadily misfire (Running, up to temp, in gear, foot on brake). Let it misfire for a while. The PCM will have to be able to detect a steady misfire to determine the correct cylinder. Once you have this info, replace that coil pack.

@3208catbird Best believe I would have sent a lot of lead through that window at 1200fps if I was in that situation. I agree, this is definitely a safety issue. Not to mention if you keep cranking, the starter can catch fire. What if you had kids in the car and the engine bay suddenly ignites? Not a good thing at all. I'm glad your wife is okay!!

Another example of dealers mindset: they only want you in the service bay with no knowledge about cars and your wallet open, or the new car office trading in your 2 year old vehicle at a 95% depreciation value on a new vehicle. They are not interested in helping us. Stay gold.

I see what your issue is, you could use a can of air and flip it upside down and really cool the fuel rail down. Or a spray bottle with water in it to pull the heat out.

Hey Jordan- Do you agree with the premium gas/mystery oil thread below?

Not entirely. I do agree that Ethanol burns hotter, which is contributing to the issue. Running straight non-ethanol gas tends to make the issue less common. However I still believe the issue is the lack of return to the tank. That alone would solve the issue entirely, but unfortunately it isn't a part produced by Chrysler. One could probably engineer his own though. 🤷♂️

@@kevinhuguet9675 The octane level of the fuel you choose really doesn't matter much anymore. In regards to this issue, you want to look at the ethanol percentage. Must are "up to 10%" ethanol. Running "straight gas" is better, yet more expensive. This will still be an 87 octane fuel, just ethanol free. Not all stations carry it.

my friend has this issue and all the mechanics tell her to replace her starter. hers always eventually starts. she eventually figured out to put the key in the on position and hold it there for a bit so the fuel pump circulates the fuel. it will then start. maybe try that before getting in the engine. also, in the old days when my VW Rabbit would vapor lock I would open the gas cap. would that help? I would also open the hood to cool the engine. thanks for your video!

I’ve heard many say to replace the starter. The actual issue there is the starter solenoid wire, not the starter itself. I tried that repair with no luck. I would also cycle key to run the fuel pump, but that didn’t work for me either.

tried a purge solenoid /valve canister and it didnt fix it/ what about some type of inline fuel filter or inline check valve-also iI had a new fuel pump put in a yr back and its now making a buzzing sound as well/ the pressure release is a quick fix make sure you spray water around that area and carry more than one fire extinguishers.

Kenneth, mine never threw a single code either. The only thing it would do is flash “Transmission Over Temp” on the dash while cranking.

If you have no crank check the ground on the starter relay, or computer componant relay whatever they want to call it. On some the comp will not turn it into a ground if so put a wire on the ground under the fuse box and ground it to the body.
