1987 Cherokee 4.0 Not starting
Hi I was out playing on my grandparents property and slid down a hill into a tree and hit the passenger side corner. Now the jeep will not start. Any input would be great. Thanks
p.s.
ok so I guess I should say that I checked under the hood for any broken connections in wires and I didnt see anything and the battery was connected and grounded well. The jeep will crank hard but will not start its like its not getting any fuel but it could be no spark i guess but I am not a mechanic

Thank you for the input. I didnt check really hard on the drivers side so I will check that out for sure. Does this jeep have an ASD and would that be the problem. Just doing some reading on the internet.

yeah it has a relay for that, look on your fuse box lid it'll show you which one it is, and also check your main fuses. You can multimeter them too by putting one prong on the fuse and the other on the battery and you should get 12 volts, you can get multimeters for 3 bucks, otherwise grab some needle noses and pull them and check for a broken connect in the metal of the fuse
