Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2005 Jeep Liberty with starting issues?
Usually starts right up. Every couple of days it will try to start but will not turn
over, it cranks and cranks up to 5-10 times then will start.
The full pump is engaging when key is turned. I had at 2 mechanics and can't
locate issue. Any thoughts???

Possibly cam position sensor going bad... it is on the passenger side front corner of your motor if you have the 3.7L easiest to reach from underneath the car.
