I try to start my 1988 Jeep YJ (maunal trans) and I just hear a "click, click" sound. Jump started it and it was running, but I stalled it and the same thing, she wouldn't turn over...just heard the click click noise when I turned the ignition. Is this something to do with the "battery realy"?

First thing to check is the battery on jeep. If the battery is low on power or dead,charge the battery or replace it with a new battery. It sounds like you are not getting enough voltage to the starter to turn it over and start the jeep. Once you get the jeep started use a volt meter to check the voltage at the battery. The alternator should be putting out 14 to 15 volts to the battery. Check the battery cables at the battery,clean and tighten if need be. If the alternator is not putting out the voltage as i described then replace it. Make sure the radio and a/c is turned off in jeep before you run your test. Hope this will help.

Jeep YJ stalls while clutch is depressed

thrust bearings are bad and the flywheel is moving out of range of the crankshaft sensor, or the crankshaft sensor is sitting too close to the flywheel.

Ignition on 88 jeep yj not working

sounds like your ECM might be bad. Is there anything else that will turn on besides the lights? It could just be a main fuse. I'd start at the interior fuses if any and then go to the main fuse block and check for any loose wires or blown fuses first.

Clutch pedal, starter, ignition... where is the safety relay for the clutch pedal depression to allow start? 1994 Jeep YJ 4.0 this has happened twice

If you find the switch, you can temporarily jump across it, 'till you get a new one. When you go to buy it you are looking for a clutch switch.
Neutral switches are found on automatic trans vehicles. If you jump it out, be VERY careful to make sure you start in neutral with the clutch depressed as without the switch, it will start in any gear even with the clutch engaged.

05 ford escape wont start. jump started it and it started fine but only runned for a few minutes and the engine started to stall and went off. tried to start it again and it wont turn with the same...

okay try this....talk to your parts store and get a battery load tester, and find out if the battery is indeed dead. My guess is it sounds like the Altenator is dying. they are around 50-100 and can be install by a pro in minutes.

I have a 1988 jeep wrangler that seems to have developped a problem of cutting out after running for 15 or 20 minutes.this problem happens at random times,any rpm,any mph,any weather,etc..I,ve changed...

im not sure if it is your problem but i would try replacing your throttle position sensor on the throttle body. it has a simple two wire conector and two torx bolts. mine was cutting out and stalling and sputtering and that was my fix
