What is the firing order for a grand cherokee laredo. I change the distributor for sgrand cherokee laredo jeep. I lined up tdc, had the rotor turned to number 1, but it is still missing.

Carefully check your routing and make sure that all spark plug wires are attached to the correct spark plugs otherwise your firing order will be mixed up and cause the issue you are having. Also make sure that the wires are firmly seated on the coil packs or distributor, whichever is on your vehicle.

1-5-3-6-2-4 Clockwise alt="Cables order">

have you check fuel pressure and timing marks of crank at TDC #1 and location of rotor pointing when on cyl #1, does it point to were #1 is on the distributer cap.

at tdc your rotor has to be pointed at five o' clock for the engine to start. first position the oil pump slot at 5 and 11 o"clock and when the distributor seats the rotor must point at 5 o clock. it will not be centered on the #1 cylinder position, but a little before.

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?

check the cam sensor and crank sensor, also is the distributor turning,possible distributor gear pin broke

First I would change the plugs, wires, distributor, and rotor button next I would make sure the firing order is correct then have timing checked if all check out have the cylinders tested.I hope this get your Jeep up and running. Please Rate Me . And you can always ask me

Check this info... Wiring Diagrams with the graphic firing order for 6 and 8 cilinders.

Good luck!!!
