I swapped a used engine into my 2000 cherokee and it started knocking ten minutes after I fired it up. It's a really weird knock. It comes and goes, and when it shows up the engine runs pretty rough(like it's missing on at least one cylinder). The torque converter to flex plate bolts are...

I put a used engine in my 2000 cherokee with 4.0/aw4, and it is still doing the same exact thing as the old engine. I bought the jeep with a blown engine, didn't even try to start it until I had it home and off the trailer. I started it up and drove 100 feet and it sputtered, died, then...

Can a timing light be hooked up to the DIS on 2000+ Cherokees? It would be a bit tricky without plug wires to work with, and I understand that I can't really adjust ignition timing. I really need to see when I'm getting spark in relation to the crank. I tried hooking up an inline tester to...

I have a no start condition on my Jeep and am trying to figure out what is normal and what isn't, since I have spark, fuel, and compression. The tach doesn't move while cranking, and seems to me that it should register something? Jeep is a 2000 Cherokee sport automatic.

I swapped a 1990 bottom end with a 94 head into a 2000 cherokee, and used all accessories and flywheel from the 2000. I can't get it to run now, and have pulled a few codes: p0700(trans control system MIC request), p1687(no mechanical instrument cluster bus message), and p1698(No CCD from...

Can someone post a picture of the timing cover setup by the alternator on a 2000 cherokee? It's an automatic with AC, and it's the federal emissions(so it doesn't have the pre-cats), not sure if that affects anything in the serpentine setup or not. I'm using a 1990 block in a 2000 cherokee...

Can an intake manifold be repaired? I was cleaning the mating surfaces to bolt the manifold up and felt something, turns out the intake is cracked at the rear, look like someone over tightened it. Is this something that can be fixed? I have a spare 94 manifold, but I'm pretty sure that won't...

I'm swapping out the engine in my 2000 xj. The donor engine has only 90k on it but the timing chain has a lot of play(I think at least 3/4") sided to side. The blown up engine has 190k but the timing chain and gears look in good shape. Is it crazy to swap the timing set from the blown engine...

I am trying to decide what way to go about buying gaskets to put my motor back together with. I've got a 1990 block and rotating assembly, 1994 7120 head, and it's all going in a 2000 Cherokee. I'm using the oil pan, timing cover, oil filter adapter, sensors and manifolds from the 2000...

What size are the bolts on the top of the engine? I know that they are a special type of external torx, but I've taken these apart before and I don't have the "proper" socket. When I did them before the engine and trans were out of the Jeep, this time they aren't, so it's hard to tell what...

I got my new-to-me blown up 2000 XJ home yesterday. Here's what I know. -Good oil pressure up to operating temperature -went from operating temp to overheating very quickly -was told that it was overheated and motor was junk, but they didn't look into it -misfire but no check engine light -no...

I'm buying a 2000 Cherokee with a badly overheated engine, presumably due to a cracked 0331 head and low coolant. I don't have the Jeep yet, and I'm trying to make sure I don't get myself in too deep financially. -I have a complete 1990 Comanche 4.0 engine with very low miles -I have a good...
