    Cherokee 2000. I try to start it and all that happens is a ticking noise, it won't turn over. Everything on the dash comes on except the radio? Yesterday I paid 185 for a new IAC motor and a T-gasket -they told me it was fixed. This morning it would not start. Any suggestions

    The wierd thing is it started yesterday but would turn off if i didn't have the gas pressed down, then it ran fine when i started it later that day over to the service station. And now this morning it (again) wont turn over at all.

    My guess is your battery's flat. The ticking noise is the starter solenoid. Try jump starting it, it should be fine. Your next step should be to bring it back to the garage that did the work though, to see why the battery went flat and to have the other issue looked at.

    Also worth checking is the starter relay in the box by the battery, if you swop around the relays (making sure they're the same type) it should start. I had one of those heaps a few years ago and it cost me a fortune. Look out for problems with the ringgear for the starter and the transfer box for the 4 wheel drive.
