The 1988 Jeep Comanche with an in-line 6-cylinder engine is known for developing oil leaks over time, particularly from the valve cover gasket and rear main seal.
Overheating
These engines can sometimes suffer from cooling system issues, including clogged radiators, faulty thermostats, or failing water pumps, leading to overheating.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
The crankshaft position sensor can fail, causing the engine to stall or not start at all.
Vacuum leaks
The vacuum lines can become brittle and crack, leading to rough idling and poor engine performance.
Fuel injector issues
With age, the fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, resulting in poor fuel economy and engine misfires.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold is prone to cracking, which can cause exhaust leaks and affect engine performance.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, which can lead to engine timing issues and poor performance.
Idle air control valve failure
The idle air control valve may fail, leading to irregular idle speeds and stalling at idle.
