5 months ago I changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter and ran BG44k through the system. I thought there would be a big difference, but no, there was not. I also seamed to notice that also there was a hesitation problem when I stomped the gas, that was there when it was cold or hot. I changed the temp sensor to see if the problem was in the computer, but that failed. Now the car wont start at all and I was debating on changing the O2 sensor or the thottle position sensor, but before I spend 59.00 or 89.00 I need to know if im going in the right direction.
I tried the key trick to get the code info but I did not get that to work. Is the OBD1 in the 90 cherokee? I tried with the e brake on and off, the on, off, on, off, on in 5 sec and got nothing. I would like to fix it myself, but I dont want to spend money on things that dont need replacing. Or should I just tace it to a shop?

I took of the fuel rail with the fuel injectors and only 1 out of 6 sprays..the rest squirt..(dont drip) but squirt. I dont know if thats the problem for the misfires, loss of power, and dying when accelerating, and rough idle. Can anyone help me? Can i clean them at home?

However I have noticed that whenever I am looking for a "stock" part from any parts warehouse that the parts never seem to fit/work. Is there a another year for this Jeep that is very similiar to the 96? Also is there a way I can identify the exact engine year that is in the truck? Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks in advance for your help!

Its not the switch it self , its the plug or wiring harness that connects to the switch. Wondering where i can get one of those or if its possible.

Drivers tire sticks out 2-3" past the flare, passengers side is pushed in. Jeep is all over the road, but I think thats a different problem that will require work some time later when I have more money.

Edit: its actually 62$ and it says for 4"+ of lift, Mine is 3" front. Will I need to find a different one? (if so, I guess im just gonna have to deal with it. I dont have 200 bucks)
