Having some issues with my 95' cherokee country. im wondering if it could be something computer/electrical. it has "good starts" and "bad starts". on a "good start" it runs almost normal (runs/idles rough and seems to be missing) but on a "bad start" its even worse. it boggs down so bad it wont go over 34-45mph and if try to force it it will stink of something burning. the air will not get cold at all or blow out if im gassing it. sometimes there isnt even power to radio/lights/flashers ect...ill have to turn it off and restart it a bunch of times to get "good start". it always idles/runs rough and has a hard time to start.
ok..i have replaced the cat. converter, muffler, starter, the spark plugs and disrupter cap, map sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter and all the vacuum hoses i could fine that had holes in it. also the radiator and cap.

rear shackle (which I don't know much about) and pieced together lift or rustys 3" w/ shocks full leaf?
Mainly want to raise the rear from scraping over high speed bumps (especially with passangers). I keep hearing the flatter the spring the more flex though and I like savings the moneys. I want to stay low but try to run 33s in another year, just bought 225/75s

This thread is for all those who would like to ask something tech related and don't want to start a new thread or hijack someone elses, and for all those tech related questions you happen to ask in the big off topic threads. Me and some of the older members will answer every kind of question as long as it is TECH and polite.
P.S. for the newbs: stupid questions don't exist, there are only stupid answers. Feel free to ask whatever you want. "What is a Jeep?" is a good question....
EDIT: If your question is very common (eg: lift) please DO A RESEARCH FIRST and if you don't find the answer come back here, 75% of the questions can be answered within a 5/10 min browse using the "SEARCH" button on the black banner menu.
For any lift & tire questions go here first: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/all...go-here-10579/

If you would prefer to reply to an email, that would be great. micheath@oxfordnetworks.net. Thanks, Jess

You're crankshaft position sensor, its at the bottom, back of your engine, mounted with two 11mm screws to the top of your bell housing. That sensor is what controls your distributor and thus your spark. Try that and see if.it works if you're sure you have fuel

i need help finding a leak... its red fluid so its either tranny or tc (as if you didn't know lol) im pretty sure the tc is good. the fluid tends to accumulate on the tranny pan and the cross member. the even weirder part is ive checked both levels and they're both not losing fluid or not losing any noticeable amount however there seems to be a significant amount to coat the bottom of the tranny and the cross member? we have cleaned it all up made her look pretty and then started her and looked for leaks put her through the gears and all but nothing showed. but when driven it appeared again. where should i start looking? its driving me crazy.
