97 Cherokee Distributor

Feb 22, 2004 1 Replies

There is a weird squealing coming from the distributor area of my 97 Cherokee 4.0. To give you an idea of what it sounds like, I thought it was a belt. It's been going on for a little while (couple of days) while my wife's been driving and just came to my attention today. After it ran for about five minutes the noise went away. I didn't mess with it any more and am putting it up in the garage until I get back from a work trip. Appreciate it if anyone can give me some insight on what I need to fix. Thanks.



Rob did pass the time by typing:

Look inside.. check for oil in the bottom.. If you have some it's time to replace the bushing (if that's possible for your distributor) or replace the distributor.
