Re: I'm looking at a '94 Cherokee - known problems, etc to watch 4?

Pay close attention to where the door hinges on the driver's door attach to the body. These are welded on to sheetmetal with no reinforcement, and they have a tendency to either break the welds or the welds break loose from the body. 
And yes, the crank sensor is known to be a weak point of these vehicles. 
Regarding the other stuff, I'm only now a month into owning my "new" 94 Cherokee, so I'm on the learning curve here....
