So ive been having this problem with my 22re starting easy when it's cold but when it's hot it seems like it has a dead battery (like cranks 1 revolution and then stops when it is hot but if you wait until it cools of a little bit then it starts right up) so naturally I replaced battery thing is, problem still persists Any ideas

I'm saying it's the starter. Pull it out and get the brushes to rebuild it. Here's a good writeup on it: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/Starter.shtml

Thank you I'll check it out rebuilt the engine myself and put 1300 trouble free miles on it (except for accidentally crossing the vaccuum lines going to the egr modulator not bad for only being 16

Ignition timing could be to high.

I had a similiar issue with a '78 CJ-5 I used to own. I had header exhaust that ran close to the starter and over time would cook the starter and do exactly as you describe. Once I figured it out I got a smaller aftermarket starter with heat shields and never had another problem. Not sure what your exhaust system is like but figured I would throw the idea out there.

**Edit. It just occured to me the exhuast & starter are on opposite sides on a 22re so scratch my idea.
