SO, I'M WORKING ON 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE THAT I REBUILT THE MOTOR. EVERYTHING WENT TOGETHER VERY NICELY. GET EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND IT WON'T START. FIRST I MAKE SURE IT HAS SPARK AND FUEL, AND IT DOES. THEN I CHECK TIMING AND IT WAS 180 OUT, SO CORRECTED THAT ISSUE. STILL WON'T START, SO I MOVE ON TO CHECKING COMPRESSION. ALL 6 CYLINDERS WERE ONLY AT ABOUT 60 PSI, SO I WENT ON TO DOING A CYLINDER LEAK DOWN TEST AND THAT SHOWED NO LEAKS AT ALL. SO THAT TELLS ME 2 THINGS, MOTOR IS GOOD AND TIMING CHAIN IS ON CORRECTLY. FOR ABOUT A WEEK I HAVE BEEN CRANKING IT OVER ABOUT 5 TIMES A DAY AND NOW THE COMPRESSION IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 85 PSI AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO FIRE ON A COUPLE CYLINDERS. WHAT AM I MISSING?

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
