Hi guys,
I am a new member here and I just got a 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport that my father gave to me. I am a new Jeep owner but I have owner toyota's for years and worked on them. My problem is as follows. The Jeep has not run for over two years. I was able to trace the problem to a bad crank shaft position sensor and replaced that today. The battery was also dead. Once I charged that battery and had the new sensor installed, I got the Jeep to run, however the check engine light is on. My OBD2 reader is at my place and not my father's so I can't pull a code. Do you have any advice on what I should check to clear the check engine light? I changed the plugs and all the fluids, but I need it to pass SMOG and it won't with a check engine light on. I plan on changing the plug wires, cap, and rotor. Is there anything else I should be worried about? Sorry about the newbee question in advance. Also is there a XJ group in Northern California that I could join? Thanks in advance for any help you guys could provide.
Thanks again,
Logan
