96 jeep cherokee sputters and shakes runs bad

SOURCE: Jeep Acts Like Out of Gas- HELP!

it sounds like the engine isnt getting enough fuel. I would suggest changing the fuel filter and possibly testing the fuel pump to see if it is bad.

SOURCE: Rough idle until warm

HMM, ya ont get a code unless ya figure out how to read the morse code values the OB1's use. Hmm sputters, and rough idle can be from poor air circulation, as well fuel delivery.

first air.......inspect and clean your vacuum hoses, cracks and leaks will most notably ruin your day. as well as the performance of your ride. check the seal for your intake hose around the throttle body, then clean the ports in and around your throttle body as well. Bad air supply, poor idle.. follow me..


second is fuel delivery. Your getting your gas, thats evident, but are you getting the required amount. hard to guage unless you disconnect a line and test its pressure. so lets USE the KISS method.. KEEPING IT SIMPLE STUPID

first, check and or replace your fuel pressure regulator...

second, inspect condition of your fuel filter.

thrid, and certianly the last thing, your fuel pump. go in that order. or your gonna seriously annoy yourself when a 5 dollar fix turns into a 3-400 dollar fix.

SOURCE: Slight miss, starts a little hard then runs fine rough idle from time to time

It sounds like its out of time move the distriutor a little bit

SOURCE: 1998 Jeep Cherokee - hard to start

My 98 Cherokee was the exact same. I used to have to turn the key back and forth 3 times and then it would start. Otherwise it would just crank and crank for a while and then start. Pretty embarrassing! Took it to the dealer and they said that my fuel pump was losing pressure. I changed the fuel pump and I don't have to prime the pump anymore.

SOURCE: I put my jeep in reverse and it stalls. When i put it in drive it

check your plug wires and it wouldnt urt to check the distibutor car and rotor
