Top 20 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country - Page 4 Questions & Answers

MANY THINGS CAUSE GAS IN OIL LIKE FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.LEAKING FUEL INJECTORS.WEAK SPARK FROM BAD COIL+ PLUGS AND WIRES.AND LOW ENGINE COMPRESSION.

Does the vehicle have trouble starting at anytime? Are there other accessories that do not work? Have all the fuses been checked?

First take some pictures before disassemble the vehicle, pay attention to the areas where bolts are so you put the correct one back .
get some zip lock bags as you remove bolts and nuts put them in the bag and mark it (Example Rh Fender ) also the will need torx head tools for the bolts,screws, nuts.

You will need to remove
1) remove the bumper
2) remove center grill
3) remove header panel or front fiberglass panel. bolts on edges for this panel gets accessed bye removing the splash sheild to gain access to the back side of the header panel.
4) remove fenders and just reverse the procedure when reassembling


Good luck

ok if it has a center consol with the shifter their then it will be located under the plastic right on the shifter you will see to wires going in beside the shifter that is it.

the resivour is the smaller circular pot next to the brake mastercylinder on the left if your looking from the front. most likely caused by a bad slave cylinder

have you changed the ignition module??

find a similar car at a local junkyard, have them remove the overflow tank and sell it to you. you can do this over the phone though some junkyards actually have their inventory online. there are also scavengers selling parts on ebay and craigslist go look there for jeep parts.

If the lights illuminate but don't flash it is very likely a bad flasher relay causing your concern. It's usually located above the drivers footwell area. It looks like a small metal can with two or three terminals. They are available at just about any parts store for under $10.

sounds like you have a problem with the power supply. Check the fuse. if ok, remove the new radio and check the power connection to the radio. if you cut into a wire harnis to find a hot 12v connection, you may have severed the dash 12v supply or knocked it loose . Take it slow and retrace your steps, but first check the fuse panel. You may have shorted out a wire without knowing it when attempting the install. lift the pos. lead on you battery the next time you play with 12v.

Turnover and cranks are the same thing....you mean it will not fire up? Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

You need three things for an internal combustion engine to work, air, fuel and fire.
Is it getting all the above? Is there fire getting to the plugs? Is there fuel getting to the cylinders? Is it getting air?
If the answer is yes to all the above, then it should turn over and fire.
Possible causes for it not starting... Not getting air - Check air filter, or just take it out. Not getting fuel - Check your fuel pump, check your fuel filter, check your gas tank. Not getting spark- Check wires, check plugs, replace as necessary.
If all the above is GO, then I'd have someone check the timing.

there aretwo fuse panels in this model car, One is under the hood on the right side ( passanger side) And the other is under the dash on the drivers side.

The problem is most likely worn shifter linkage. You may be able to adjust it where the linkage is connected to the steering column.

4.0 L engine is likely the last easy engine to work on. Get a haynes or chilton manual and follow the directions. In order not to destroy anything, that lies with you. Use care, don't force anything and use the proper tools.
As far as "taking apart" , some items such as the crankshaft are not removable without taking the engine out. A carefully torn down engine should need no more than replacement of worn or damaged parts and a gasket set (plus machine work where necessary)
Any questions about a specific component can easily be answered by anyone here.

To address the headlight issue, replace the bulb on the right. For the turn signals, replace the flasher unit. It's located front seating area, driver side, under dash, driver side of steering column, mounted in convenience center. This should rectify the issues and quite cheaply too! Let me know if you need anything else.

That would be a fault in the wiring. That is odd that the two are connected. Must run on the same circuit. Each wire will have to be tested with an ohmmeter and volmeter from switch to relay, to radio and to power control module.

go to your nearest auto parts store and get a chilton manual. ask for it at the desk and if its a good store they will know all about it. its based on a complete teardown on your vehicle also try your owners manual.

i use a pick to pull up the tab that holds the retainer then u can use a small chisel to tap the retainer off

Only good hands on testing will give you a valid answer to that question. I'd pay special attention to fuel pump pressure (measured at the rail), cam, crank and throttle position sensors (and possibly map sensor).
Those are the items that are most likely to cause a shut-down...Others will make it run poorly.
Many of the larger parts outlets do code testing free. Have that done and see what comes up. At this point a code for O2 sensor should be ignored as that can often trigger when another more important one is out of range.
As I said, without testing I'm only making an educated guess, but I hope something here helps you.
Good luck!

You dont need to take it off to get is checked. You can have it checked right on the vehicle. I would check it first before taking it all the way out, it might not be bad! You can go to any tool store and buy an alternator checker for like 3 dollars. This will tell you if your alt is putting out a charge. As for the location of your alternator it is usually on the upper right passenger side of the motor to the left of the waterpump if you are facing the vehicle. Should be two wires running to it.
