okay so i bought a 86 jeep cherokee for $250, pretty good price but the kid i bought it from ran it out of oil and through a rod through the block so now theres a pretty good sized hole that you could stick your fist through, but i went to a junkyard and got a different motor out of an 86' commanche that i am in he process of rebuilding. just recently i tore the other motor apart in the jeep to get the dowel pins for my new motor but when i got the head off there were no dowels...but it'll be easier to pull. im gunna pull the motor on 7-7-09. its a slow proccess cause this is the first motor that im rebuilding and the first time ive done alot of this stuff. but its gettin there, if you have any advice id appreciate it

 

here are some more pics of the old motor

 

wow, that is trashed. Good luck with swapping motors man.

 

i got an almost rebuilt motor in my garage that i just need to finish up. i painted the fender flares and the front bumper today im gunna finish up with the rear bumper the handles and the mirrors

 

heres some of the new motor

 

nice man going to run like a beast soon

 

some more pics

 

go the new motor in today. it was a *****

 

okay, i got it all put back together, it cranks but doesnt start. i was told that it cud be the coil or the cps, so i changed out the cps and still nothing, is there anything else that could be going wrong? im gunna get a coil from the junkyard tomorrow and see if that works, but any suggestions would be great

 

Mine is an 87 and was doing the same thing and all I had to do was push start it and pop the clutch and now it runs... all i did was mess with a few wires really but i would check your coil and make sure it is connected to the distributor fully...

 

alrite, im gunna try that before i go and spend more money on it

 

Fuel or spark?

 

okay, so i have spark and im getting fuel to through the lines.but im not getting fuel to the throttle body, but it starts when i put gas into the throttle body, but thats the only way i can get it to start, any suggestions wud be appreciated

 

Injection or carb?
