1991 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 high output. Won't start.

1991 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 high output. Won't start. Tried a new battery with no joy. It clicks but the engine doesnt turn over. I'm thinking starter motor but I don't really know how to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions?

    Yeah. I just decided to risk it and bought a starter. It worked.

Sounds like the starter. If you remove the starter and take it to autozone or advance auto parts, they will test it for free.

My 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has a new battery but won't start. When I try to jump start it, it just makes a clicking sound but won't start.

Most likely you have a bad connection somewhere. Trace the battery cables and clean/tighten all terminals or try jumping to a different lug. You might also try removing the starter and jumping directly to the starter to verify that it is good.

Are a 1993 4.0 liter high output 2 wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee countries have the same block as a 1990 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4 wheel drive it also has the 4.0 liter engine but it is not the high...

the first grand cherokee laredo was in 1992 . it was all jeep sports back then, the blocks are all the same .you will need to use some of the sensors from the old motor, the distributor and oil sending unit and temp sensor. will be no problem. if I can put a ford ranger motor in a mercury sable your swap is easier

JAfter I Took my Battery out while it was running: Jeep would not start the next time i tried to start,but was turning over. Tried to hook a diagnostic computer to it, but would not give reading.

When you remove the battery from the charging circuit, the alternator voltage output jumps to a high level, and this probably fried the computer and possibly other electronic components.

1991 Jeep Cherokee Limited starts, runs a few minutes then dies

Running for five minutes sounds like something other than a security system problem (usually shuts off much earlier) but if that has been compromised it needs to be put back together or the trigger wire from the drivers door lock needs to be grounded.
I'd look to the throttle position sensor, map sensor, crank position sensor or the ballast resistor on the drivers fender. You need to do tests on those items as all influence the fuel management system after warm up. Test when it is cold and after it shuts off so you don't mistake a part malfunction only when hot. Hands on testing is the ONLY way to determine accurately exactly what is happening there. Anything else is an educated guess!!!
