2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hemi - if it fails to start on first attempt, it will try to start but will never start until about 15 minutes of no attempt. It seems to fire but seems to lack fuel or the correct fuel mixture or pressure. Within the past year have replaced the pump and filter in the tank. The dealer also replaced some sort of fuel sensor. We never know when we are going to be stranded. Now happens about once a week.

Most likely the fuel pump is going bad.
This video will explain the replacement process.
Use only Delphi Bosch or VDO pumps in these jeeps. Carquest and chinese pumps are scrap and should be avoided.

Have the fuel pressure checked next time it does this. You may have a failing fuel pump.

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Front

I'm having the same problem. My 2000 WJ is pushing 95,000 miles. I bought it with 20,000 miles in 2001 so i'm unaware of an issue before. The first time i had the warpage, i had the rotors turned and replaced the pads (organic). It worked well for a while. When the problem returned i replaced the rotors and pads (ceramic) which lasted longer. I have now been driving the vehicle in Italy for the past 2 years. The problem has been gradually getting worse within the last few months. After some research online. I've come to the conclusion of replacing my Teves calipers with Akebono calipers which Jeep upgraded future WJ's with in 2002. Along with a caliper replacement you have to replace the rotors as well. After some more research regarding slotted, drilled, vented rotors, i'm just going to go with stock replacements. Right now i'm trying to figure out if there's a better caliper/rotor combination before i commit to this order. As it is, it's around $500. Also, like the previous poster. Make sure you don't overtighten your lug-nuts. I don't know if that contributed to my problems. I've always used a hand 4-way type lug nut wrench. I recently read that they should only be tightened from 85-100 lbs/ft. I'm going to place the order for the parts which should arrive in about a week.

Give us more info. I will assume your past any battery issues so I won't ask. Do's it ever start or are you down and out?

Does it turn over? If not, try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. This has worked for my Jeep before.

2005 jeep grand 5.7 hemi 0406 code

Check your Racket Pinion, and gearbox. Make sure there is no moisture around it. Seems like you either have a leak in your suspension, or improper pressure somewhere inbetween your stearing box, and your front end.
