I just bought a 97 Cherokee 4.0 automatic 4wd. The person i got it from finally gave up and sold it. He said he has replaced so much stuff and is ready to give up on it. I'm not for sure whats wrong. But i drained the oil, and there was 2 or 3 quarts of gas that first drained out before the oil came out. So, I take it it was flooding. He has replaced the distributor pickup, the crank sensor, or i guess it was that, he said it was on the back of the motor by the flywheel. He changed the fuel pump. I guess he didn't know that it was flooding and just started changing parts. I do have an OTC scan tool to check on some things. The map sensor read 28 or somewhere real close when it was not running with the key on. The tps read 16% not running and went up to 80% or so with no quick or dead spots. As for the rest, I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas? I have to put some oil back in it and change the filter. I have left the spark plugs out overnight to let the cylinders dry out and the plugs as well. I'll throw them back in later with some fresh oil.
