I recently found a clean cherokee with low miles .My intentions were a 4.0 donor for my comanche,but the thing is clean and I am a close friend to the seller,so I know its history.Problem is it was put on a computer and #5 cylinder is dead.Bigger problem is that they tried to check it when the hood release broke.I guess it has two latches ,one side poped and the other they have supposably tried everything from pullin out lights,bezels,grill,tried gettin it from underneith,no luck!!!My questions are #1 should I buy it for 500 without really knowing the problem?#2 How do I get the hood open?#3Where do I start with this dead cylinder?Is there a comon problem on these late 90s 4.0s
Thanks
