My last 2 cars had your symptoms and it ended up being a bad coil pack both times. Mine were individual though so I was able to determine which one it was by switching them around. I think cherokees use a rail though so I'm not sure how you would figure it out without another rail. Mine is a 97 and I never messed with the distributorless 4.0s so i could be completely wrong. LOL. Hope you get it figured out soon. Love the clean look.

 

 

another great picture

 

thanks man. im having some issues with focus on the d7000. hoping i dont have to send it back

 

Loving the build and pics. I had that problem when I first got mine and I ended up having to replace the IAC like you mentioned earlier

 

cool pics man

 

thanks guys. ima go to the picknpull and get some injectors and a coil rail tomorrow and try that first

 

gahhh. i think it was something so simple ive been overlooking this whole time b/c it kind of slipped my mind and i forgot about it.

my buddy pointed it out... but i had an issue with the bolts on the coil rail seeming like they were too long (i somehow cant find the stock ones)... so we went and got some shorter bolts... and when we tightened it down it seemed like it was much better. drove it to autozone, cleared the codes... and nothing yet!

so keep your fingers crossed it dont come back so i can get this thing inspected and on the road for good.

 

Wow, something so simple haha

 

haha no kiddin.

figured i'd update on our pups/riding buddies. they love to ride, so im ready to get this jeep on the road and take em along. Canon is 9.5 months now, he is getting thick.

Man love the build, Good looking rig and dogs you got. REALLY NICE PICS TOO. I just got my first DSLR camera a few months ago, Im still learning with it though. I got the Cannon Rebel T3I. Hope I can start taking sweet shots like yours.

 

congrats!(on figuring out the problem) soon we should get together. It would be good to just share a beer with you (if youre down with that) and its course talk about our jeeps.

 

thanks man. awesome, take it out and just practice. read on some photo forums, learn the basics and go from there. post up some shots when u get time.

yea man, i should be off these 72hr weeks in a week or so. ill hit you up when i get it on the road for good.

 

so the problem never really went away. got the exhaust fixed up, still ran really rough, would chug/sputter really bad. finally got to rent a compression tester, and cylinder 5 intake lifter was acting up, then it completely failed/collapsed during the compression test and we lost all compression on cylinder 5. i took the valve cover off and the rocker arm was super loose, so i pushed the push rod down and you could hear the oil coming out of the lifter and it would never free up. ugh. head comes back off.

i shouldve replaced them damn things

 

got the head all but off. gonna wait for a buddy to help this time. bout killed my back last time. plus still need to get lifters and gaskets. probably be 2 weeks before she sees the road again, headin on vacation next friday and i gotta work the rest of the week starting tomorrow
