I Have A 1988 Jeep Cherokee Laredo XJ, Its 4x4, 4.0 Inline 6,
And It Will Turn Over But Wont Start, Am Guessing Its The Timing Chain,
Its At The Shop Right Now, And We Are Going To Find Out If Its The Chain or Not, But Am Kinda Worried About It So i Was Wondering If Any Of You Have Had The Same Problem, Where The Engine Turns Over But Doesnt Start, Then You replaced The Timing Chain And It Started, If You Have Gone Threw This Problem Please Let Me Know. Thanx

 

Timing chain on these things is pretty dang stout. Wouldn't surprise me if it was the crankshaft position sensor. That results in a crank/no start.

 

X2

 

 

ok But How Can I tell If Its The crankshaft position sensor, With Out Having To Go Buy A New One, I Mean Like How Can i Make Sure That Its The Sensor, Cuase I Dont Wana Go And Wate 30 bucks If Its Not even It?

 

your gonna tear the front of the motor apart to check the timing chain tho

 

buy the manual get a meter and test it

 

Its a good spare to have around and if you can take it up the by going to a shop then you can afford to buy a spare CPS. I would bet thats the issue and your paying for the shop to look at it for nothing. Get your hands dirty and get more dune. Don't run to some hacks that know slim to none about XJ's

 

Go to your local junkyard a find a few, test them if they are good keep them for spare in case of emergency, going to picapart in a few days and start collecting little stuff that I can put in the xj to keep for spares while out on the trails.

 

Its Auto Tech, In Skool So They Have a Shop And We Study Auto Tech, While We Can Work On Our Own Cars For Free, So Am tryin To Save Some Money Cuase I Wana Jack Up My XJ, But I Mean it Is A good Idea To have a spare But Still, i guess ill find out tommaorw if its the chain or not, And If Its Not then ill go buy the CPS

 

have fun

 

Haha Thanks, I Will.
