1990 Cherokee hard to crank
A good buddy recently bought a 1990 Cherokee Limited with the inline 6.
Every time he tries to start it after it's sat for awhile it takes a looong time to finally fire. Time is 8-10 seconds. With winter coming, he's concerned with keeping enough battery capacity available on cold Canadian winter mornings. Any quick things we should check out over a couple of Canadian beers? The truck has just over 50K miles and is otherwise in fantastic shape. Jeff Falkiner Ontario, Canada |

Now, I've never owned a Jeep 4.0 litre, so can anyone elighten me as to how the fuel system on that engine is set up? What are the main areas I need to troubleshoot? I'm assuming that there is a potentially faulty fuel pressure regulator/fuel pump/return valve I should be looking for? Thanks for any help. Jeff Falkiner |
