Jeep Cherokee Forum - bad starting cherokee 2002 4'0 ltr

Hi,this is my first jeep,I bought it in July.
The problems I have are that it used to take three attempts to start it and now it takes six,when it starts it rev's up to around 1,800 rpm and take's a while to drop,she seems to run fine after that until I try and start it again.
The other issue's I have the heater only blows on screen, the AC light comes on
but does not blow cold ,and the cruise control light come's on but does not work,I found a lot of fuses in the glove box so I just wonder if it could be all related problems,I checked the fuse board and all are intact although the cover was off,any thoughts?:cry:
