Re: 96 cherokee won't start PLEASE HELP!

JUlie,
Thanks for the info, Now let see, Your batery voltage may be a little low, depending on how much youtried to restart. Not your problem, just get your battery charged. If your engine will crank,just won't start, than your safety switch is working fine. I would have to go with your crank sensor, that little componant sends an electrical pulse to your ignition system to tell it when to fire your plugs, and send fuel to your injectors. To make sure your fuel pump is working, with your door open, turn the key to "ON" , for about 3 sec. you should hear faintly you fuel pump, actually to check to see if your fuel pump is still working, after you turn your key "ON", than turn it off after a few seconds, go under the hood, locate your injector tube, follow the tube towards the firewall, there should be a fittilng resembling a bike tube knipple. Take the cap off (unscrew) and press the valve down with you key, you should get fuel spraying out.
