Starting problems
Well guys I got a 1997 jeep cherokee 4.0 and the dang thing won't even try and turn over... when I turn the key the lights and everything come on but the car won't try and start
|
Automatic trans? If so, tried wiggling the shifter between P and N while wiggling the key?
|
If its handy now, go and jiggle your shift lever and try it. If it doesnt work then try starting in another gear. No luck move the lever through the gears a few times and repeat. You can also put your jeep in reverse with your lights are on and see if your back up lights are working. If any of these work I think it is the neutral safety switch. Easy try for starters (no pun intended)
Ha quick draw Cruiser beat me to it. Do what he says. |
Ok guys thanks I'll give it a try
|
And yes its automatic
|
Well guess what guys it worked. I started it in neutral and put it in park and then turned it off tried to start it in park and it wouldn't work so I jiggle the handle and it worked, so how do I fix that or what causes it.

It's always something well the starter is going out I think
|
Idle trouble
My idle seems low how do I adjust the idle on a 97 cherokee
|
yup. done a tune up yet?
|
Its controlled by the IAC(idle air control). Try this and see if it helps.
