Thats the funny thing though, he bought the jeep brand new with 10 miles on it. Im the second owner. The vin codes match the engine and tranny. No one has touched the engine or tranny other than servicing, and i highly doubt its been swapped before leaving the dealership. Even then, the vin is...

See, it runs perfectly fine with both. Idk if the jeep originally was wired for an auto and got manual instead (amc has been known to just throw whatever they can get in order to push the vehicles)

Hello! Nothing wrong here, just a curious question that ive had for a while now about one of my xjs. Im not sure if this is the right place to post it or not, my apologies in advance if im in the wrong area, im still a bit of a noob with this site. Anyway! Ive seen plenty of threads stating that...

The knock instantly goes away at roughly 800rpms and higher. Its ONLY at idle, it doesnt get faster or louder as you give it throttle. And yes, some performance returned after the injectors were replaced. Its not a huge difference though since i was running street tires before all this and now...

also to note, when given just a slight amount of gas, it sputters really bad like its going to die. push the throttle a little more and it runs perfect. let off, back to bad misfire. the rpms are normal, just the bad misfire.

hello, ive searched everywhere on 3 cherokee specific forums and 2 non xj specific, but jeep forums. ive not found anything that worked yet. heres my problem: 1988 renix 4.0. this thing is 150% stock other than routine maintenance things of course, but all was swapped with the stock spec when...
