On the left side of the engine there is a rail with 3 rectanglular coils. there are 4 bolts attaching it to the cylinder head. remove the 4 bolts and pry it away from the head (if needed pry alternate sides to remove all boots from the spark plugs). If needed there is a connector near the back of the coil rail that can be disconnected by pushing the red slide tab outward then squeezing the tab on the connector while pulling it off the rail. Then remove the spark plugs. insert new ones, reverse steps. Be careful not to use too much force on the slide tab. they break pretty easily although they arent completely necessary.
How to replace spark plugs in a 1989 jeep cherokee?
No.
The plugs are under the coil packs that are on the passanger side of the vehicle. This is of course if you have the 4.0 engine. I would need to know more about your vehicle to gie you the best answer.
Dirty spark plugs can occur on any make, model, or year. Changing the spark plugs should be done for maintenance, such as when you do a tune up.
Depending on your year of Cherokee, I know the 1991 and newer Cherokees use Champion RC12LYC, Autolite 985, and Denso QJ16HR-U with the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine. On my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 4.7L V8, I used Champion Copper Plus RC12MCC4. These are the plugs that the manufacturer calls for. No other plugs should be used.
