Head gasket failure
The head gasket in in-line 6-cylinder engines can fail, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
Fuel injector issues
Older fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
The crankshaft position sensor can fail, leading to engine stalling or a no-start condition.
Oil leaks
Older engines, including the 1996 JEEP Cherokee's in-line 6-cylinder, can develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold in older in-line 6-cylinder engines can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
