Re: '88 Cherokee 2.8V6 (GM), no spark
87 was the last year for the 2.8 in North America.
The 88 came with the 4.0.

I live in the Netherlands, because of the lack of hills and unpaved roads
there is hardly any need to have a 4 litre engine.

Hmmm
I thought it was 1986 in the XJs in the USA and in 1987 the 4.0 was
introduced in them.

I am in Canada and thought the next door neighbor had an 87. Could
easily be wrong there.
