20 Most Recent 1992 Jeep Cherokee Sport Questions & Answers

Could be either of the two you mentioned or dirty terminal connections or a bad starter relay. Clean the terminal contact surfaces first and then you can begin testing other components if you need to.

the control side of relay, needs voltage and ground. As you can see, for automatic it grounds through neutral switch. For manual tranny it appears to be chassis ground. For chassis ground, I just use a redundant ground, it works for me.

It sounds as though the seals in the master cylinder have perished and aren't doing their job. The reservoir is full, yes .. but the fluid isn't getting pumped because of worn seals... there's no pressure developing. If there are overhaul kits available - try one. They're much cheaper than buying a new clutch master cylinder. It isn't a difficult job. 0results for 1992 jeep cherokee clutch master cylinder repair

Try some "heet" , STP gas treatment or the like. sounds like you might have some bad gas.

If timing marks are on , distributor is out . Bring #1 cylinder up on top dead center on compression stroke an see if rotor is pointing at # 1 on distributor cap . Do you know what the firing order is on the distributor cap ?

I'm assuming the starter is not turning the engine...check the small wire on the starter for 12v with key turned to start. If no voltage there, check ignition switch and neutral start switch. (voltage in, voltage out)

i had the same problem with my 92 cherokee laredo, could be the crank positioning sensor. if it goes bad you dont get spark from the coil. or it could be the coil, distributor, or even spark plugs.

Change water pump, its bad.

go to your local hardware store, parts store and buy an expansion spring. cut it to length and bend a new tab on the cut end . fit it to the lever and it will work a treat. Most auto seats have the spring but you will have to upend a seat to get it out as it costs too much for the junk yards to do it.

Put front end on jack stands. DO NOT WORK UNDER CAR WITH ONLY JACK HOLDING IT UP! Your life is worth more than a 20 buck pair of jack stands. Disconnect battery, negative (black) lead first, then positive (red) lead. From under car, locate starter motor. Carefully disconnect electrical cables from built-in solenoid and motor. Remove mounting bolts. Pay attention if lengths are different. Put'em back where they came from. Rock starter back and forth to break it loose. Reverse procedure for installing new starter. BTW - don't waste your money on a rebuilt unless you enjoy changing them every 12 to 18 months. Make sure you return the old starter for your core allowance refund.

double, anon posted, why?

fuses, check fuses first any time electrics or electronics, fail. for ever.

Go to jeeps unlimited post by dr righteous titled 42re Governor Pressure Solenoid and Sensor Fix. This is a in depth thread on complete repair.

replace the fuel filter then check the air/fuel mix needle valve according to manufacturer specs. Sounds like you have way to rich a fuel mixture.

Battery cables tight ??? All four connections ?

did u follow the correct way to jump that var/suv?? there is a method,ground to the block,and pos to the pos side of the battery. then lit it charge for a few minutes, then giv it a shot. u r battery is probably beat down to nuthin. so git it towed and then u will need a new battery.??maybe? lol

what makes you think there are bands. ? did you look in the FSM> did you post exact transmission in your car , ? here is a free look 1993 chickodee. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service 32RH (has bands) page 96 and 97 (band adj) or AW-4 no bands. uses solenoid clutch packs. electric. see them both and all tests and settings. is yours a TCM shifted ? tranny, yes then why not scan it. or the flash code procedure. page 174 the TCM cars will flash OD lamp or drive lamps or something to tell you its got error codes. get them. best of best. aw-4 (see the manual mode test. many cars have this, not just jeeps) may TCM tranny cars, (RTM read the FSM and learn this) http://mikestrawbridge.com/blog/2011/09/aw4-troubleshooting/ hint 2: make sure the tranny ground stap is not broken. if it is, it will never ever shift right or reliably true for just about any TCM car. see one guy last week bought new tranny ,and never used a voltmeter on the solinoids. had 12v casing.. a shame.
