Asked by Kprintz Nov 28, 2014 at 05:05 PM about the 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4-Door 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Jeeps. Map, iac, tps, crank position sensor, and fuel filter have been replaced they are all
new by me. This all happend first from tightend the belt then idle went up. Next week
battery died overnight then it would start, run in idle but then put it in gear I can drive slow
but when giving it gas sputters and bogs like there is no gas. So I unplugged the map
sensor vacuum so I can drive it but bad gas milage.

Replace map. I would say the intake air flow sensor but not sure if jeeps have those. Noticed you didn't have answers just trying to help. Goodluck!

1995 Jeep Cherokee OverheatingHello all,Got a slight over-heating problem with my Jeep. Actually I noticed this from about 2 years ago and it's still the same today.When I'm stuck in bad traffic, or sit at a red light for too long, the temperature gauge would slowly creep upwards over the middle marker toward the third marker. I have not had it sitting idle for so long that it went into the last red region.But as soon as I start driving again, the temperature drops back down below just under the halfway mark.To me it sounds like an airflow problem, i.e. the engine is not getting enough airflow when it's sitting idle.Could this be the fan? Or a clogged or dirty radiator?I see two fans. The fan on the right always spins. The fan on the left does not spin when the engine is started. Are they both suppose to spin?Thanks in advance for any advice.Regards, 2 Answers
