Re: 88 cherokee turning over but not starting
Hi Harry,
Fuel pressure may be bleeding off, with a bad check valve in the
regulator. Next time you go for a cold start, try, just turning on the
ignition to the on position, listening for the fuel pump to run for a
couple of seconds, then it automatically shuts off, then off, on the
ignition again, five or six times then start the engine.
