I have no clue. Put it all back together and it doesn't want to start. Idk if a pully is messed up or I knocked it out of time or what. It's a complicated little motor that's well beyond my knowledge and skills. I just want someone to buy it who can save it rather than destroy it.

 

Alright I took my listing down. I'm gonna take a couple days off to refresh my mind and see if I can figure it out.

 

Atta boy! You got this! Lol

 

I was convincing my girlfriend that I need to bid on it. Lol.

 

Lol, if anything changes I'll let you know.

 

dont give up man, we will think of something.

FWIW, Wikipedia claims that engine is quite reliable.

 

Anyone can put info on Wiki lol.

 

thats why i said "fwiw", lol

though i gotta say if one could whip up a small multifuel engine to fit an XJ, it would be pretty neato for going innawoods.

 

with the 30gal tank and 35mpg, thats 1050 miles to a tank!

 

Reg Guy, the French love the Renault, the Americans hate it. They say it's because Americans are too dumb to maintain and work on them. That would be me.

Yea if it ran I could make it from Columbus Ohio to Los Angeles and only stop to fill up once. That's crazy. I seen a guy online that was running a veggie oil/ Diesel mix, he was getting 100mpg.

 

I hope you get it running. its the perfect zombie killer with that kind of range! especially if itll run off veg oil lol

 

I hope you can work through this project. You can't get discouraged this early in the game!! This jeep could be the ticket to you being coming a Renault guru

But honestly, please don't sell this. Keep it on the forum, and in the hands of someone who loves it

 

Keep at it all of the work and headaches will pay off in the long run. And if you cant handle it any more then please sell it on here so a member can pick it up and keep us updated with this very unique Cherokee.

 

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Like I said I just want to do this thing justice. I don't want to be the guy that kills a 30 year old unicorn.

 

Keep your dad on speed dial
