I have been trying to fix my 1996 Jeep Cherokee sport, 4.0L 4x4 w/ 118K miles. I hope to god this car isn't dead because I am broke and need to get to school 20 miles away and I have no one to get rides from.
So far done the wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor ignition, put in a new fuel injector where I thought I needed it. I pulled all the injectors and let them sit in cleaner over night. The new injector and cleaning all of them seemed to improve the driving a bit, but still knocks around when first applying gas/idle speeds mainly-- but some higher.
Anyways... just ran compression test... seems like bad news? What does this tell me??? Am I in trouble? Can this be causing the misfiring/knocking? Please any information you may have to help. I will be so happy if I can get this Jeep running : #1 - 120 then added some oil let it sit for a few minutes --> 140 #2- 150 #3- 150 #4- 160 #5- 160 #6-160
