Good evening everyone,
My dad just bought a nice 1998 jeep cherokee 4.0, but it has a couple of issues. There is a even misfire at idle which smooths out completely as soon as you raise the rpm and the cranking sounds slow. It has a new fuel pump, new IAC valve, new Crank Position Sensor, new radiator and new battery. There is no detonation and the truck does not overheat. Oil was old, but it smelled like pure oil and there was no gas smell and it was a normal old oil color. It didn't have any milky color to it. The jeep does have a stereo system with amp and sub-woofer. The slow cranking itself might be a voltage issue due to the stereo. Can that also cause the idle missfire? I'm thinking TPS, or ignition problems. I would like to hear other opinions.
Thank you.
