| |  HELP!!! Changed Alternator, Engine turns over but won't start
Hi,
Over here from the Short wheel base forum. I did a favour for my sister(always regret favours for family) and changed the dead alternator in her 91cherokee 4.0l. Now the engine cranks but won't start, it's turning over quickly, so I know the battery still has enough charge. I disconnected the battery over night as well just incase the computer had a code stuck in it or something. Tried it this morning and still the same thing. No check engine light or anything?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Sounds like you pulled something extra that's still loose. Do you have a spark? Is the alternator the same type as the old one? There's different regulation systems. Some are regulated via the computer, some have it built in.

Figured it out last night, the Engine Management(30A) fuse was just barely popped, changed it out and it fired right up.
Thanks again.
