1996 G.Cherokee, 2wd, 206k, I6, auto...(green)

Had starting problem, would have to crank, then stop, crank again before it
would start.
Made no difference cold/hot, no matter if I put the key to on position for a
minute...
I changed the TPS, and it starts first time, everytime.
(still have ABS light on, oh well.)
Static discharge upon leaving vehicle has gone the way of one sock in the
dryer.

soaked, am drying now.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Debris may collect in the evaporator drain tube area causing blockage of the

the system. The water drains into the frame rail and exits in the center of
the vehicle. If no water is draining, the system is blocked and requires
cleaning.

1 5255217 Plug
REPAIR PROCEDU
This bulletin involves drilling a hole in the A/C evaporator housing to
allow for cleaning of the drain tube.

1. Pull the carpet down in the passengers foot well and locate the
evaporator drain in the housing (See Illustration).

2. Drill a 1/4 inch hole in the center of the drain tube housing as shown.
Clear the drain tube with a wire or suitable tool by inserting it through
the hole and into the drain tube.

3. Insert plug, P/N 5255217 into the 1/4 inch hole drilled previously.

4. Verify that the drain is clear by operating the system in the A/C mode
and observing that water is draining.

During dry weather, you can usually control it by wiping down the
interior you slide on with fabric softener sheets, spray the carpet
with highy dilute fabric softener. Computer geeks have used it for
decades to help control static, works better on carpet than the
anti-static sprays.

Or wear copper underwear....
