Engine Tick?
I just bought this 1999 Jeep Cherokee and I am worried about this sound... Any help?
4.0L Inline 6
Engine has a rough idle, poor gas mileage, oil pressure goes between 30-60

I hear injector noise, a possible exhaust leak and maybe some lifter noise. Mine sounds like a diesel when idling but goes quiet when revved. 4.0s are noisy critters anyway. I bet someone her can do better diagnosing than me tho. Hows it run ?

Basically, I am just trying to figure out my best course of action. There are some other things I am planning on fixing (rust on passenger floor pans) and I just want to be sure it is worth it.
Is there anything quick and cheap I can do to try to fix it? Is this something that's not that big of deal? Is it something that I should just sell?
Help an XJ noobie out haha

I hope for your sake and sounds like a lifter tick.
Since its new to you,I would change the oil to shell t6 and add this *.
It worked on my wife's GC.
