Dunno for 1995. Seriously, did you look them up on RockAuto.com? They have all of them.

2001 cherokee sport
So I am looking to buy a 2001 Cherokee sport. One problem it has a check engine light and the guy at the dealership says its either the gas cap or small crack in a tube or hose somewhere under the hood. He says that it doesnt effect the jeep at all. Any idea what it could be and if it really doesnt effect the deiving..?? Thanks

Either way, it's a 2001 with the notorious 0331 head and it is prone to a crack between cylinders 3 and 4. Stay away from 2000-2001.

Straightsix thats what he said it was when he pulled the code. On the check in my area. I am in KS and they don't do emmission checks unless you buy it out of state..

Agreed with those two. EVAP leaks aren't hard to fix, so fixing a vehicle with an evap problem isn't exactly an issue.
The issue is that the dealership is too freaking lazy to fix such a simple problem as a bad gas cap or unplugged vacuum line on a year with known capacity for serious issues that basically mean you need a new engine. It sounds like they got a busted ****ty trade-in and and need to flip it fast.
Avoid like the freakin' plague. Don't even call them back. They're trying to rip you off.

My computer is being a dick. Anyone have a link to a good thread on the timing chain on the 4.0? I am trying to find some info on how much slack it needs and all that jazz.

Okay, my '96 4.0L has no spark(I do have fuel, and crank).
It did before I replaced the cylinder head, so I assume either I broke something, or forgot to connect something. I checked the distributor and all the wires connected, and everything seems to be fine. Assuming it isn't the CPS, or the distributor, what else could it be?
