Good Morning,

I just bought for my son a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with 70,000 miles on it for $400.00 bucks anyway, the catch is it hasn't moved or run since 2003. It has the 4.0L I6 engine, and an automatic.

I'm working on getting it to run again, but I could use a layout diagram or photo that says what is what in the engine compartment. I'm reasonably savvy, but I don't know Jeep engines specifically and my internet searches are not coming up with all I need. I figured you fine folks on this forum might be some help here.

so far, I've pulled the plugs and shot penetrating oil in the bores, yanked the battery to replace and got all the tires back up and inflated. all the hoses seem fine, the coolant has rust in it, and I know to change the oil/drop the pan, flush the coolant, do all the normal tune up stuff and then some.

but there is some stuff under there I can't readily identify, so I'd appreciate some help.

have a great day
John

 

Best of luck with the XJ, with some love it should be up and running in no time.

I dont have any diagrams, a haynes would be a good start.

I once got a old motorcycle from the back of someones barn that hadnt been run in like 20 years. I had something silly like 3k miles on it. I spent the weekend doing simple tune up stuff and it fired right up, ran like a champ for years!!

Welcome to CF.
X2 on getting a repair manual for it. They're essential and life savers sometimes. Good luck.
