after all the things I replaced I believe my non starting issue steemed from my oilshaft drive/camshaft sensor being off posistion from the start. So my rig is on the road, I still need to baby it some and check for leaks and fluid levels. Question: When should I change the oil? I heard some...

It's been awhile in the making but about 1am this morning I was able to get my jeep on the road. I went back through my rig looking for things I did during the swap to see if I did it right. I re-cleaned the grounds, changed the strap ground ( the one that goes from the fire wall to the back of...

My jeep is a 2000 cherokee, I-6 4.0L, AW-4 it doesn't have plug wires. It has an ignition coil pac. The haynes book said to have the spark tester in one of the "plug boots" and to ground the others to the engine. My question was How do I go about grounding the other boots?

I put in the starter I got from my buddy and the starter works so I geuss mine is dead. The jeep will crank and crank but no start. I checked my crank position sensor and the circuit showed open (meaning it's good), no continuity. That's the only test that the "Haynes" list's for the CPS. Does...

Thanks guys. I'll give the suggestions a try on Wed (next day off). The guy I bought the engine from has a spare starter I can try also. I'm going to replace the battery cable's also just to eliminate that as a source of issue, 10 bucks or under...might as well.:banghead::05of5:

Okay, yes all I hear is a single click. So the starter is getting power (I know from placing a meter to it) and thats about it. If I do the screwdriver method and I can get the starter to turn does that mean my starter is toast?

I had the battery load tested and they said it was good, just needed a little recharge, had them recharge it. I went out and put my meter on the starter and I got full power at the starter. But when I try to start the jeep just get one click.......geuss my next step is to have the parts store...

2000 cherokee, I-6 4.0L, AW-4 Today was not a good day. I put my brackets back on the coil, made sure all bolts were grounded. Connected the battery and no start. I can here the starter click but the engine won't turn over. I had the coil out, I also had the computer unpluged and I had the...

I don't want to sound dumb but I rather look silly than have a broke rig. What is the PDC and where is it? Also where is the coil capacitor? My coil sits on top of my plugs, is it part of this?

Okay, thanks for the help. I'll check the conections. I know it has to be something simple that I missed.

I got the codes cleared and did the poor mans prime. The jeep started and ran fine, got it up to temp and decided to take a test drive. Put it into revrese and it stalled. Tried restarting but alot of crank and no start. The coil is grounded and the plug is good. Could the crank posistion...

The engine I put in my jeep had a distributer, the engine I had didnt, so I swaped my electronics from my blown engine to the new one (better than getting a new jeep comp). The engine I put in never had the mont holes for the coil pac. The coil pac just sits on the plugs so a mount is needed to...

My best geuss is the motor I put in the jeep was a 93 or 94. I made mounting brakets and I mounted it to the valve cover. I didn't make any seperate ground straps. Bolting it to the valve cover should work or would the valve cover gasket negate that? Is there a test I can perform (mutimeter?)...

2000 Cherokee, I-6 4.0L< AW-4 I just swaped an engine into my jeep. The engine doesn't want to start. It cranks but doesn't want torun. Check engine light came on and I had a friend run a code checker on it. Three codes came up; P0351 Ignition circuit coil A Primary/ secondary Circuit...

That was just what I was looking for, ty for the help.
