Orange88

get out the trusty hammer and hit the starter. if it starts, time for a new one. make sure you are getting power to your solenoid first

hahaha, i just told that one at work, all the mechanics laughed :rotf:

ok, i will look at the build code and let you guys know. so you guys are tellin me that i can't just swap over my electrical stuff and it won't run? can i just put on the cps that went to the HO? damn, this thing is getting to be way too big of a headache :help:

the guy i bought the motor from said it was out of an 89 cherokee. i know its not now. i swapped over intake manifolds so it was all the same as my old plug ins. i imagine i am going to have to swap over distributors and what else?

and my comanche is an 88

well, i think i found out the reason why. just don't hate on me guys, i am new to the jeep world. turns out i bought and HO motor without knowing the difference. :wall: So now that the dang motor is in what all do i have to swap over to get it going again? Thanks for the help, i would really like to get this truck goin and drive it this summer. Keep the suggestions coming!

i finally found a motor for my Comanche. i put it in this weekend i am having spark issues. i am not getting any spark. I am not getting any spark off the coil either. i have power going to my coil but nothing going from the coil to the distributor. i am stumped. :mad: i don't know enough about electrical to diagnose it. please help me guys!

the truck had a 4.0 in it when i bought it. but it had a hole in the side of the block big enough to fit my fist in. i have found a few 4.0s for sale locally but all are h.o.'s and I'm still not certain on how to properly swap my renix engine to an H.O. engine. I'm new to the jeep world haha.

I got a 1988 MJ and i am still hutning for a motor. i was lookin around on the net and saw that there is a GM v6 that bolts in the truck?? what motor is this and has anyone done this mod before? i would like to find a 4.0 but i am not having any luck with junkyards. i can't find a single one? any advice?

i don't know much bout manual transmissions but my gues would be a bad syncronizer???? thats what my guess would be. does it shift into the other gears ok?
