Title: Ignition set question
Post by: dexetr30 on October 11, 2006, 07:38:09 AM: Ok, my 02 has a 2.5 in it. According to 4wd.com I should have the 2.4. The ignition set I'm looking at says it for 1991-99, 2.5L, 4 cylinders. Will this set work on my 02? I'm ordering as soon as I get home and out of the crappy hotel.

Here's the set in question:

I think the 2.4L was after '02. Best way to check, 2.5L had mechanical fan and 2.4L is electric.

I checked all over 4wd.com but didn't see a system available for the 02. It ends at 99 for some reason. I know I shouldn't have second guessed what I already knew to be true but the 4wd site confused me a bit.

Well, you know what you've got. Most catalogs like to be on the safe side and are a bit skimpy on years. Especially when it's a transitional year.

Looking at their listing in 4WD, I see they've got the 4.0L's years a bit screwy too. It reads '93-99. It should read '91-99. The 2.5L reads '91-99 though. I bet they screwed up and someone thought they put the Multi-Pak on the 2.5L in '00 like they did on the 4.0L.
