I recently rolled my jk, and it was left and its side for a few hours before i managed to get assistance in rolling back over. Now there is no power what so ever, and it obviously wont start. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it operational? I am assuming all fluids need to be changed, but not sure what else could be wrong. Is there an auto lockout when a jk rolls as a safety mechanism?

 

If you did not pull the plugs before trying to start it there is a strong chance you bent a few valves after oil seeped into the cylinders. Try pulling the plugs now and see if the engine will even turn over.

 

So if I pull all the spark plugs, nothing will ignite, so no further damage can be done?
But I still have no power. Possible the battery drained fluid?

 

If you pull the plugs nothing bad will happen (if there is any resedual oil in the cylenders it may blow all over the place so stuff a rag in each plug hole) the battery could have gone bad but my guess is no.

Good luck

 

Ok thanks. I will try this in the morning, and update what happens. How will I know if it's ok or not?

 

Also try disconnecting the ground for a few minutes.

Test the battery to confirm it is good (auto parts store)


If it turns over you may be OK, if it will not even turn over and the battery/starter/electronics are OK then you are toast....go see a mechanic/call your insurance company. If the Engine is blown because of the roll over you should have coverage

 

Battery ended up being completely killed. I jumped it and it cranked fine. Engine still runs great. Thanks for your help

 

Thats great news...good luck and keep the rubber side down
