Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Older engines, like the 1989 Jeep Cherokee, often develop oil leaks due to worn-out gaskets and seals.

Overheating

The cooling systems in older vehicles can become less efficient over time, leading to overheating issues, especially in inline-6 engines.

Poor fuel economy

Aging components and outdated fuel injection systems can result in decreased fuel efficiency.

Vacuum leaks

The rubber hoses and seals in the vacuum system can deteriorate, leading to rough idling and poor engine performance.

Ignition system problems

Wear and tear on ignition components like the distributor, spark plugs, and wires can cause misfires and starting issues.

Exhaust manifold cracks

Inline-6 engines can be prone to cracking in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Timing chain/belt wear

Over time, the timing chain or belt can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing and potential engine damage.

Fuel injector issues

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause rough running, poor acceleration, and increased emissions.
