My wife's '98 Cherokee has low compression (maybe 100psi, if that,) and rust on the insulator on the #3 plug. Not surprisingly, it runs annoyingly rough and throws codes. As it is over a quarter million miles and due for inspection, we have decided to replace it, spending less than $4,000, not financed. The short list includes Mazda6 wagons, MPVs, and Grand Cherokees with a 4.0L engine, and looking early to mid 2000's year wise. Any advice about those cars before we head off to find a replacement? Are there any model-specific items of which I need to be aware?
Thanks,
Mike
