Just answered this and the web site crashed .try again 153624 is the firing order ,to check it out just remove the rocker cover and check the valves ,using a rachet on the bottom pulley bolt turn engine till exhaust valve closes then turn some more till inlet valve opens keep turning slowly and when inlet valve closes and you turn a fraction then rotor arm will be pointing at no1, difference between valves when you look at them easy the exhaust valve lines up with the exhaust manifold

Testimonial: "thank i had every thing on over and your firing order put everything in to perspective thanks!"

Hello! Here is the firing order and distributor connections...

Face the front of the engine...Left bank from front to back; 1 3 5
Right bank from front to back; 2 4 6

Looking down at the top of the distributor, from the front of the engine, #1 cylinder is far right middle...Clockwise...1 2 3 4 5 6.

Did you pull the distributor or just remove the cap?

SOURCE: my 96 jeep grand cherokee keeps diying going down

How is the idle? It never dies when let it idle for 30 minutes? Is it only dies when trying to accelerate? If this is the case then There are 3 things to check: 1- O2 sensor. 2- Fuel delivery rate is meeting spec at at fuel distributor. The fuel pump may be week to deliver a correct fuel rate or the Fuel regulator is not doing its function to keep up the fuel pressure. 3- If number #2 is OK then there is a problem with the Fuel distributor. Good luck in finding the root cause

96 jeep cheokee problems no spark

I would make sure you have voltage to the coil. Could be a fuse or relay problem. Is the check engine light on when you turn the key on ?

I just changed the plugs,wires,distributor cap on my 1996 jeep grand cherokee limited, the firing order is correct,but my engine is misfiring&the codes that come up on my computer/scanner reads misfire...

I would manually set it up to top dead center. (Rotate the engine by using a breaker bar and socket on the crankshaft pully bolt the same direction as it runs) with the front cylinder, #1, assuming you have a 4.0 liter straight six, spark plug out. Put your finger in the spark plug hole, and as the engine is turned by hand, you will feel "air pressure." This is coming up onto the compression stroke. With the piston at top, you are at top dead center. (Zero aligned for timing marks) Now remove the distributor cap, your rotor should be pointing at the stud for the number one plug wire.
Turning it will then move the rotor to the next plug to be fired.

if you are certain that the wires have been replaced correctly then you could have a bad set of wires even though they are new this happens sometimes but it sounds as if the firing order is off check the engines timing to see if its still in time.

301 & 306 are cylinder #1 and #6 misfire. Your spark plug wires are not in the proper firing order in relation to the correct cylinder and distributor locations.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 4 wd - changed wires, distributor cap and rotor - now it will not start? Did verify the firing and that all were plugged in correctly.

If the wires are in the correct order, also make sure that you used the correct starting point, otherwise the base timing can be off by as much as 60 degrees. Turn the engine till the crank damper timing mark is pointing to 0 or tdc on the timing scale. If the rotor is pointing towards the engine, turn one more time. #1 is roughly when the rotor is pointing towards the passenger headlamp. Order is in the direction the rotor turns when cranking. If the engine was running with no problems before the change, only other thing could be that you inadvertently unplugged something or the security system armed. Other possibility is that if you did the change due to a running problem, whatever was causing that finally failed.
If when you remove the cap again you find that the rotor is damaged, check the dist shaft for side play.
Are you getting spark?

My 96 jeep grand cherokee 4.0 6 cyl will simply just die! Don't matter if the motor is warm or cold... Doesn't matter if it's idling or going down the road! It does seem to do it more in cooler weather...

SOUND LIKE FUEL PROBLEMS.IF IT BEEN A WHILE.REPLACE FUEL FILTER.IF THAT DONT HELP.CHECK FUEL PRESSURE.IT SHOULD BE 47 - 51 PSI. IF PLUGS + WIRES +ROTOR +DISTRIBUTOR CAP.HAS BEEN CHANGE FOR A LONG TIME REPLACE THEM ALL.IF ALL IS GOOD.SCAN IT TO CHECK.TO SEE IF EGR VALVE STUCK OPEN.
