Hello there, I bought a 1995 jeep cherokee limited V8 5.2 the other day for 300$ from a buddy, its been sitting for a year, So im going thru it, checking fluids. Dipstick was stuck in there hard, I filled her with oil..... It Fired right up but was shaking SO BAD, and when i pressed the gas just a lil, The whole truck and steering wheel shook so bad i though it was gunna explode.......... Bent rod?
140,000 miles on it.

Im turring it into a trail rig mostly but want it for winter also.

Please help

 

Start with a compression test and a complete tune up with cap, rotor, wires, and plugs.

 

Also check the harmonic balancer. They've been know to seperate.

 

okay ill try these things. Its so bad lol. Thanks fellas

 

Sounds like a bad misfire.

 

I replaced the plugs and wires for *****s, Still sounds bad, and when you press the gas it shakes VIOLENTLY Lol Also it has a bad oil leak. hmmm

 

Are any of the motor mounts or tranny mounts good? Check there after the harmonic balancer.

 

u should do a video u can post it on the forum so we can more then understand u cause this might actually be more then a mis fire

 

Yea ill take one next weekend, I get really busy with work during the week.
Thanks fellas
