90 cherokee project
I just purchased a 1990 cherokee 4.0 as a project and it has a list of problems and i have no prior experience with a jeep to know where to begin to fix it.
the problems i have so far are.
1. Has trouble starting ( tap starter works sometimes so im sure thats it)
2. Overheats and coolant bubbles out of the cap on the fluid pressure reservoir (also came into passenger side floor)
3. When engaging 4WD the front driverside pops and doesnt engage
4. While driving down the road to go get the starter matched up at my loca NAPA the engine just stalls out. i could start it back up but the gas pedal did nothing (rpms never went up) and it would just stall out again. it has full tank of gas cause i just filled it up the night before and no gas leaking
if anybody could help out with any advice it would be very appreciated. I plan on doing all the work myself, i just cant diagnose haha

Welcome to the Forum. Hit Auto parts and get a manual ton of info in there. Lots of good info here also...http://cruiser54.com/ .As for issue get new starter on. Then I would refresh all grounds its in Cruiser tip. Then replace Pressure bottle cap with the Volvo one also in Cruisers tips. As for water in side by pass heater core. As for 4wheel drive issue fix that after its running better.
