What would be the cause of my 1996 jeep cherokee sport not start but you can turn the distributor a 1/4 turn itll start but runs really rough

Hi! This is Bo with Car Genius at RepairPal! Sounds like the distributor is installed incorrectly. When you turn it a 1/4 turn it puts it just enough into time that it can run but poorly. Try reinstalling the distributor and make sure it's in time. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call at 877-913-1554! We'll be happy to help or find you a certified shop in your area!
