I am at a loss and need some help. 93 Cherokee Country. No fuel no crank. I jumped the starter relay and it cranks perfectly. New starter, new starter switch. Fuel pump thumps like it is shutting down. I would assume this is a short causing all this. Would this be from possibly a bad ignition cylinder? The kid I bought it from said he hit a pothole and it shut down. Please help!
First I'd see if you have fuel pressure.
If you have fuel pressure then I'd check for spark.
If you have both of those it should run.
If you're missing one or the other then start troubleshooting the respective circuit.
This isn't something I can help with from afar without throw 200 guesses at you.

Hi Everyone,
My Jeep has started to "over rev" when shifting from 3rd to 4th. Instead of the revs dropping the revs increase by about 300 rpm, then shifts to 4th and the revs are where they should be. It has also started to not like "kicking down" from 4th to any other gear, such as going up a steep hill, it just stays in 4th.
On a maybe unrelated note the secondary fan is also now on alot more often than it used to be.
Auto transmission fluid is relatively new and up to the correct level.
All help greatly appreciated.
Cheers, James.

Hey guys, anyone ever have any problems with the roof rack bars? I'm in the military and just got orders to move across the country, so I've been getting the ol' jeep ready for the long drive. A neighbor gave me one of those "aerodynamic" rooftop cargo boxes, but when I went to install it, I ran into a weird problem. The cross bars on my roof wont budge! On 3 out of 4 buttons you can press them in but the rack wont slide, and on the 4th one the button depressed and then wont pop out. What gives? Anyone have any ideas?
And also, semi-related, if you were preparing for a 2,500 mile trip in a jeep with 180xxx miles on it, what would you change/flush/check/install/etc before you left?

One more question while I'm at it. Is there a place to stick a paperclip in or something to manually eject a cd in the stock cd player (97 xj)? If I press the cd button i get an ERR message, and sometimes if I hit a bump too hard it changes to cd mode automatically and gives me the same error.

Does this look to big for vacuum line? Also can I just stick it on the manifold and run it to the cruise and vacuum ball. I think its 1/4 inch ID
