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.

It was originally fitted with the 2.8 litre engine.
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.
