Starting A 4.0L Not Run In 2 Years
I have a 1994 Cherokee, 4.0L, 5 sp. that has not been started in over 2 years. Was running and starting on a daily basis before being parked. I'm no wrench, heard there is a certain procedure that should be followed and can't seem to find the instructions. Any help or suggestions??

to start your jeep, take the key with the plymoth or jeep logo on it find the ignition located to the right of the steering wheel. Once the ignition is found, simply stick the key in and of course since it is a manuel push the clutch in. Once the key has been succesfully inserted in the ignition, turn the key...dont be afraid about bending the key because they ignition will in fact turn with it. keep the key turned for a good 4 to 5 seconds and if it does not start repeat.

Ur gas will need to be changed and also the oil with to because oil started to breakdown after you stop using it. I would do that then just jump it with another car and see if see strats right up.

To all of those who offered sincere advice I sincerely thank you. As for you Phil99, I hear the A-Hole Store in Minneapolis is looking for a general manager...sounds like you're their guy. Best of luck with all that.
