Timing
My jeep was running rough so I changed the plugs and wires and it was still running rough. I looked up a few different timing post on google and tried the most common one and now it won't start. Its a 88 cherokee with a 4.0 but its the low output motor. Can someone tell me the correct timing setrings ?

Timing is not adjustable.
And it's not low output in true fact. Only advertising hype.
Does it have a single cylinder miss? What plugs are in it?
Did you look at the cap and rotor?

put down the tools, step away from the you tube channel, and listen to Cruiser....failure to do so could result in your jeep becoming a lawn ornament
Too true!
