Just got a 98 grand cherokee limited V8 5.2 manufactured in 97 is this a good year 133,000 miles?

98 grand cherokee limited 5.2L same problem found leak not from heater box but from drain mount on firewall under the glove box not behind it. drain line should be located behind right front tire in the frame. Turn your wheels hard left look inside fender well right side towards back side. hole in frame where drain line should come out.

99 models changed and are not compatable with 98 models.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this free answer ans leave some testimonial).

I would try your pickup coil in your distributor. I would also be checking the o2 sensors. both of these things can cause problems like this and would not set off the check engine light.

No, 1995 and earlier. 1994 has OBD 1 and the 1997-98 has OBD II.

things are pretty much at the end of thier life span at this mileage, if u are thinking of buying this steer clear is my advice based on 45 years as a mechanic

There were some chrysler transmissions around that year that were year specific, a good wrecking yard can help you, they can look up and see which other years will fit based on your engine size and drivetrain

Throttle position sensor

well thats possible if it acts different at different temps you might want to check catalatic convertor and possibly your fuel pressure
