98 cherokee 2.5L sluggish and low idle
Hi Guys an Gals
I have my Cherokee 2.5L 1998 Sport.
I have recently had the cylinder head skimmed and getting full compression again after a serious engine failure.
I have now had it back together and finally got the engine running again, also replaced the throttle body recently too.
I still have abit of sluggishness in the acceleration of the engine, only when I'm actually driving it, but the exhaust is alittle noisey on idle and idle is low.
I'm thinking its possibley a bad coil so I have that coming tomorrow and see if that cures it.
Any other ideas on what could also cause this??
Thanks everyone!
Joe

Have you checked the fuel pressure? Just keep throwing parts at it and maybe you'll find what fixes the problem.
