Q: Jeep won't start.
I went to start my jeep and it just was cranking but wouldn't turn over. I tried it again a little later and it started right away. Turned it off and tried to start again and nothing.If I pump the gas pedal it will start but is running very rough and as soon as I let off the gas it kills. I thought maybe it's the fuel pump but I can hear it come on and when I have someone try and start it and I push it the port on the fuel rail gas is coming out in a steady steam. And there is no check engine light on. What could it be?

Grinding noise on the right front wheel when turning right/going straight accelerating at low speed.

There are a variety of possibilities and so I would suggest a vehicle vibration diagnostic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-is-shaking-or-vibrating-inspection) which will yield a conclusive diagnostic. The basic possibilities are motor mounts, possibly mispositioned (and thence damaged) drive axles as a consequence of the...
