Planning to do away with the drums on my D35 but want to retain the ABS-functionality. Does anybody know if the D35 Axle shaft basically is the same between XJ drum and ZJ disc? I.e. could I reuse my old shafts and just put a ZJ-disc ABS ring on them? Thanks, D

Thinking on this maybe the coil is strong enough to give a decent spark even though it's constantly triggered. Just not strong enough to give the strong spark need when engine is under load? When I attached the test light it did kind of dim a bit occassionally so maybe the signal is being fed on...

I'm having a bit of an issue with my ignition and was hoping someone could give me a push in the right direction. 96XJ 4.0 has been acting up with stumbling throughout the rpm range, especially on load. Driving it gives me quite a jolt. Been testing a bunch of snesors, fuel pressure, compression...

Mystery solved! Way back when I got the Jeep I more or less straight away ran into burning wires in the stearing column caused by the heater blower. Replaced the circuit with relays bypassing the problem and spliced the cables in the column...

Just did the test and it failed the last stage of the diagnostic. I've got no 12 volts in cavity A2 of the Black PCM connector. Meaning the ignition switch is bad, there's a bad fuse which I already ruled out or I've got a broken wire from switch to PCM. For anyone referencing this in the...

Having spent way too much time at work today doing research I'm kind of leaning towards the ignition switch as well. Going to perform this check tonight which I gather will give fairly straight answers. http://www.justanswer.com/jeep/5yl2x-looking-1996-jeep-sports-cheroke-1-auto-shutdown.html...

Gotcha! I was confusing volts and amps basically. Frustrating to be barking up the wrong tree but I'm learning a lot of new stuff as I go. Did an amp test and it's not pulling any when off.

No dice with disconnecting any sensors. Couldn't find any trace of alarm system either. One odd thing which I might or might not be thinking the wrong way about. I disconnected the negative battery cable and then took a volt reading between that and the negative terminal on the battery. The...

Darn, mine was manufactured and originally sold in Germany. I'll have a look up there and maybe snap a pic if something looks out of place. Subzero temps and stuck outside. Not sure if I'll be able to go through all the tests because of the cold. If you don't hear back from me I froze to death...

No anti theft module as far as I know. But I've been dealing with a lot of aftermarket wire nests so it very well might be in there. Do you have an idea where the diode would be and if it could be connected to immobilizer?

Thanks for the great replies! Actually didn't check for spark since I took for granted that there wouldn't be one. Will do now to know for sure. Also will test to unplug every single sensor I can find relating to the PCM. After that it will be time to break out the multimeter and check PCM...

Hi all, Would be ever grateful for any help concerning a "slightly out of my leage problem" I'm having with my 96 4.0 AW4 XJ. Search gave me a few threads with similar issues but all of them ended before a solution was presented. As far as I can tell I have no PCM activity whatsoever. No...
