Years ago there was a adapter you screwed into a spark-plug hole and use the engine running to air up a tire. I've been going to try using a compression gage screw in end and an air hose,then unplugging the injector to shut off the fuel,to that cylinder,and laying the removed plug with wire on it to the block,and then starting the engine to air up a tire. I think it will work.

I have done it. You can get as cheap or fancy as you want. Mine is pretty high end, but basically all you have to do is have a tank, pressure switch, a little lawn mower filter on the intake and a check valve helps. Lubrication can be from the crank case like mine, but most use air tool oilers on the intake. I have a friend that just sprays vegetable oil down the intake once a day while running.

I looked on our site, and I didn't find anything. I did a google search "convert ac to on board air jeep cherokee -grand" and found the following...

I may have misunderstood your question, but I thought you were also asking for help in searching, so that is why I posted what I used to do the search on google. If it is too much information, please forgive me. :thumbsup:
