Jeep won't restart when engine is hot
So this evening, I drove for about 20 mins and then parked for 5 mins. When I came back and tried to start, the engine would not start at all. The battery was fine (even tried jumping it with no success), there was no clicking when turning the key for ignition. I left the vehicle for an hour and it started fine when I tried again. After I brought it home, I had a similar experience.
My neighbor who was a mechanic says it may be the starter motor or contacts on the ignition cylinder. Any other ideas or anyone with a similar experience?

This is the common symptom of a failing crank position sensor, temp sensor etc.... try playing with things in the engine making sure things are secured and connected like your injectors, sensors etc.
Good luck>!
