I'll agree with you that I cannot set proper timing without it running but it can be checked for #1 fire....I also agree whole heartedly that this problem is Electrical....Tonight I will confirm indexing of the Distributor...Since I have not done anything to change the Distributor allignment, It...

Yep, got yer point...Maybe I should toss the V6 2.8 for the 3.4 eh?

I utilized a Timing light.....

Plugs have been tested...All six spark when energized....Wet test? Not familiar with the term...Please explain....

I most certainly wish things were crossed up, it would have been an easy problem to fix...I am completely out of ideas as to what the hell could be causing this eingne not to fire...I have met the basic requirements of a combustion engine.. 1--Fuel 2--Compression 3--Spark 4--Timing It's got a...

UH, I am quite aware of that...my intent of that statement was to highlight that the very last Jeep Grand Cherokee I have worked on(pulled Engine, Tranny for some major mechanical work) need reference to this EXACT Haynes Manual which was deemed to have inaccurate information published by...

Yes sir, been checked...see post #7 Re: "84 Cherokee won't fire -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by Eagle That isn't timing ... that's firing order. You need to turn the engine by hand until #1 piston is at top dead...

Thanks for the reminder of the Rear Main....It has been leaking all over my Garage floor since it arrived...No big deal...One weekend of heavy drinkin and no more leaky.....I will re-check my Timing once again at TDC.....

Distributer is tight and never been moved by me..I will certainly re-check once again about TDC..I certaily agree with this issue as being Electrical

Wish, my replys below 1) you started with the wrong terminal (just misread the cap) …Possible..The cap has a #1 printed on it and correlates to the terminal illustrated in the book to be directly before the mounting screw…Maybe the cap is stamped wrong…maybe..The cap can only go on one way...

Maybe I do have the firing order wrong..It is possible since I have found that this exact Haynes Manual was completely incorrect in describing the number of “links” on a Timing Chain for the In-line 6 Engine(what a friggin waist of time that was)….Here is what my Manual says: Left side of...

In a last ditch effort to confirm what I have, I layed out all 6 wires connected to the plugs, has my son crank the engine and monitored all 6 plugs fire in sequence...1-2-3-4-5-6.... Michael

Yes fuel is reaching the carb as indicated above...Yes I added Choke/Carb fluid to the intake, no go...I squited into each cylinder and replaced the spark plug, no go....Timing is straight forward, left side is 2,4,6...right side is 1,3,5...unless the Haynes manual is wrong when it indicates the...

Hello all, I am new this this form since I just purchased a "84 Cherokee with V6, 2.8L engine. I am having issues with this engine that I cannot resolve. I did a search and found 1 thread but it didn't help much....Here is the story.. While driving this vehical home Friday night, the engine...
