Alot of transmissions run a small vaccum shifter. IF you are up to it, crawl under the jeep and look at the side of the tranny (should be the right side of the car, right above the tranny pan you will see it. its only 2-3 inches in diameter There is also a vacuum line running to it about 1/8th inch rubber line. Its either off or broke near the vacuum shifter.

Hope this helps, Goodluck.

Hello, My name is Curt and Im a mechanic in Nevada.

Your problem can be one of 3 things.

1. Your Fuel pump is weak or shot. When they wear out, they can let the fuel run back to the tank, if not being used for several hours. (lower temperature outside will worsen this effect) therefore your fuel line is empty now you have air in there instead of fuel and the system has to bleed out the air. or

2. Beings that it is fuel injected, you have a small diaphram valve on the fuel pressure rail. This valve lets extra fuel return to tank. If this is stuck then some or alot of your fuel that should be building pressure for the injectors is goin back to your fuel tank. While this saves on fuel, it doesnt let the engine run real well. <-----joke. This would be why your Jeep takes for ever to start....It's having trouble pressuring up your injectors. Without enough pressure, the injectors wont open.

3. This one is unlikely, but I have seen it twice. Check your distributor cap. Sometimes moisture collects after being not run for a bit. If this happens the spark wont go through the cap to the plugs till it dries up from the heat in the spark thats dancing around in there while you spinning the motor forever.

Hope this helps. Also to see if its a fuel issue, Plug the return Line going back from to the tank from the return valve if it starts up quick, then thats your problem, if theres no fuel or little fuel then, check your fuel filter and pump.

you can remove the bolts and change the light bulb but some of there have panels on the inside of the car you remove which reveles the wiring to the light grab the end of the wires and turn the plastic peice counter clockwise to revial the bulb

sounds like your crankshaft position sensor has failed it is located on the bellhousing and has a thick black lead off it with a three wire plug, also it should have 1 ten mm bolt holding it in place, this provides an impulse signal for spark and fuel injector pulse and the car wont run without it -jeff ps please rate and goodluck http://www.autopart.com/CrankSensor/CrankSensor1992JEEPCHEROKEE.htm this is also a suspect part but my money is on the crank sensor, this part is this camshaft sensor located in the distributer and will not kill the fuel in most cases just spark http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?catalog=301&partnum=C1929&a=FR301-C1929

either cracked head, or engine block

sorry

Give it a good tune up by replacing the following:

Spark plugs and wires
distributor cap and rotor
air filter
fuel filter

Now add a fuel cleaner to get any water out and clean your injectors. That should do it.

Follow gas lines from fuel pump, you will come to the coke can shapped filter in the left hand side of the under body.

hello you need to find the low side of your ac line install a retrofit kit for your year vehicle it has the stem trace the low side line in dought look in manuel the the hose you are saying has no pin i believe is not the service port look for smaller nipple its usaully at the lower part of the motor your hood decal or radiator top support should have some type of picture if not go to the manuel goodluck

you will have to buy a fuel pressure guage and be sure it is within spec, it is not uncommon for a fuel pump to fail on these trucks also you might as well change the filter at the same time but this will not cause this problem before replacing it be sure the pump is getting power and ground and make sure the pressure is good please rate -jeff

Did you put a new cap on the radiator? Small as it seems, if it does not provide an adequate seal on the radiator, than the system does not get pressurized, thus keeping the boiling point around 212 deg. your engine gets way hotter than than normally. When sealed right, the pressurized system raises the boiling point to close to 300. thats how is works. If thats not it,(assuming it is the last thing replaced) than you might have either a cracked head/ head gasket/ valve guides, cooling ports, basic large dollar items. Lets hope for your sake the problem is still in the cooling system, before you look at the motor. If you take out the sparkplugs, you'll be able to tell real quick, rusty, burnt whitish-orange looking condition. Good luck

If the hard grinding noise is a metallic sound only when you start it, sounds like your starter bolts are loose or the starter itself needs replacing. fuel pressure doesnt cause any particular noises like that. If your fuel pressure or pump had problems, your vehicle simply wouldnt start

I'm fairly certain that the parts stores carry the oil filter adapter gasket. Check around for it and make sure both surfaces are very clean. I like to use a FILM of sealant on both sides of the gasket and install. The reason why you use the sealant is to compensate for any irregulatities of both surfaces. You also might want to install a new oil pressure sending unit to the adapter while you have it off. That is another place where you could have a leak. They like to wear out prematurely also.

out aligned starter this requires some shims this is where you would get grinding noise from

or just bad starter replace accordingly

When you put the fuel pump in, did you disconnect the battery? When you put it all back together and reconnected the battery, did you reset the security system and engine immobilizer? https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

On a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport (XJ), there are typically two speed sensors: the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and the rear axle speed sensor. The VSS is located on the transmission or transfer case, while the rear axle speed sensor is located on the rear differential housing. Here are some tips to locate the rear axle speed sensor: 1. Locate the rear differential housing: The rear differential is typically positioned towards the rear of the vehicle, underneath the rear cargo area. Look for the large metal housing connected to the rear axle. 2. Identify the speed sensor: The rear axle speed sensor is usually mounted on the differential housing itself. It will have a wiring harness connected to it. 3. Follow the wiring harness: Trace the wiring harness from the rear axle speed sensor. It will lead you to a connector that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring system. The connector may be located near the rear axle or along the frame. 4. Inspect the differential housing: Look closely at the differential housing for a small protrusion with a threaded hole. This is where the rear axle speed sensor is installed. It may have a retaining bolt securing it in place.
