New Member, long time follower. Fixed many issues reading your posts with similar problems in the past.
Need Help- I have a 2005 Rubicon, recently had starting issues. Replaced battery, starter, and solenoid. Seemed fine for a week.
Then, recently had issues with low power problems. Was driving it and the heat light came on, parked it immediately. Heat light went off, but now when driving it at full throttle it takes a minute to build up speed and will not go over 20 mph.
I let it sit for a week, now I tried to start it and the starter kept cranking after it started.
Unhooked the battery to shut it off.
I’m thinking that problem may be the starter switch. I’ve ordered a new switch.
Question- would the switch be causing the power issue as well? Any ideas to start with?
Great Thanks for any advice on this.

welcome to the site
how many miles /hours on motor?
are you sure your checking the oil correctly?
and it could be your starter is sticking and not the switch!

3,470 miles & 554 hours.
Oil is between the 2 marks on dipstick after warming it up and letting it set for a couple of minutes. I guess the new starter could be sticking. Hard to get quality parts anymore.
You think oil level could be problem?

Did you use a Honda starter solenoid or aftermarket. The aftermarket are garbage and tend to stick in the on position.

The power issue sounds to me like trash in the carb.

I’ve ordered a Honda Solenoid. Will take the Carb apart and clean it. Thanks!!
