What are the best plugs for the cherokee and how hard is the ignition coil replacement I have a 1996 4.0 HO and ive already bought the coil and it looks pretty tight to get in there.

 

If its like mine its not hard at all. Use an extension on your ratchet..... where is yours located?

 

Champion copper plugs as an OEM replacement. Don't forget to check the gap.

 

left side looks like th motor mount will be in the way.

 

5.3?

 

Either the Champions or NGK's. Coil is actually pretty easy. Take it off with the mounting bracket attatched and then replace it. Mucho easier this way.

 

.035

 

cant even get socket on the back bold due to the position of the motor mount. So guess im gonna have to get a little drastic.

 

how can there not be a youtube on this?

 

I haven't checked out the newer models so I don't know exactly what you're dealing with but did you try a crows foot?

 

For the back bolt you have to bed a few hoses. They are kinda of tough to move off to the side but they'll give. I can take mine off in about 2 minutes. It is quite simple. Why are you replacing it?

 

Just did this job.. take the coil bracket off with the old coil still attached. Unbolt the old coil and attach the new one. Then slide the whole thing back up into position and re-install the previously removed hardware. Take note of where all the wires are going to before un-hooking anything!

Tip - Go into your profile and either turn off the show related threads or the continuous scrolling. It makes it way too easy to be scrolling down and end up in a completely separate, dead thread.

 

Cant see your issue without pictures but the coil on a 92/96/99 should come out within 5 minutes....maybe 10 if your not drinking
