I've got a 97 cherokee 4.0 sport with what I believe is a bad NSS. The guy I bought it from said he would occasionaly have to putt in neutral to get it to start. I know it runs and drives because when I bought it I was able to start it and drive it up on the trailer and same when I got it home...

stupid thought... does your horn work? If it was wrapped around the steering column it could only be a few things, but I suppose thats just where it could've ended up. Like everyone else says I'd lean towards cruise but maybe fog lights or rear defrost on a hard top?

1996 Sport, I figured as much. That was going to be next question. How does it affect the parking brake and can I just take the parking brake setup out of the donor grand cherokee? Not terribly opposed to losing the parking brake all together but it would be nice to have since it's a stick.

Read a few things here and there about swapping out my rear drum brakes on my 96 XJ for discs so I don't have to deal with the mess of springs that are in drums.. Just looking for some opinions, thoughts, comments anything really. I know you can use the rear discs out of a grand cherokee as well...

far as the crankshaft sensor goes it might stay running it might not. depends if it's flaky or not. I can tell you this, if your going to replace it spend the extra money and get one from the dealer. Aftermarket crank sensors, especially in chryslers can be pretty shitty (mainly why they are...

check the ground wire on your fuel sending unit. I have a 96 XJ that did damn near the same thing. After a lot of looking around, replacing a couple sensors here and there I discovered that the ground was damn near completely off. I pulled fuel pump assembly back out, carefully disconnected the...

might want to hit up a junkyard. I had the sagging door problem on my 96 XJ and due to that it was missing clips, rods and the little plastic piece that engages or disengages the handle. I found all the parts in the junkyard and they all ran me like 10 bucks. I welded up both hinges and...

SOLVED! My XJ is alive and kicking again. After much poking around, ignition, wires, plugs, etc.. We thought the ground on the fuel sending unit looked a bit rusty and questionable. After taking a closer look it was hardly connected, hanging on by a thread masked by a small washer. Long story...

oh also real quick.... found a 93 cherokee just up the road from my house (better body condition than mine), 150K miles, 4.0 auto, pretty bone stock. Guy is asking 1K for it, he states that it has a problem with the ignition circuit. In the fact that you have to bridge the starter solenoid and...

well I soldered in the new (used) junkyard ignition control module harness that I nipped out of the same year XJ and still crank no start.. I picked up a brand spanking new crankshaft position sensor from the dealership as well which is about to be installed here in a few minutes. I won't lie...

Well I was poking around the coil and found this connector. It supplies power and ground directly to the coil. I removed the battery, disconnected the grounds associated with the area as well as the wires connected to the alternator coming off the same harness to make removing it easier and I...

ok, went over things and then had some after thoughts as well.. Started with the volt meter and checked just about every wire I could that related to the ignition system and the fuel system. Then I just checked for shorting out wires, bad wires, and bad grounds in general. All of my tests...

Thank you very much for all the diagnostic ideas and support! I will make sure to try these out and be careful as well! I'll be sure to post results and thanks again!

Hey, new to this forum and I'm in need of some help with my 96 XJ 4.0 five speed. I bought it strictly for a work vehicle and maybe some fun when it's not being used for that. Anyways.... Ran and drove just fine for about a month or so. What I know about it... Engine has been rebuilt, 2"...
