I now have the new engine in and it finally does start with the key switch. Now I have a new problem. It feels like it is out of time. It will sit there and idle OK for a while and then it just dies. I thought it might be the fuel pump so I changed it out and still the same problem. If I try...

Thanks to all that answered. I found a ground that was not completely tight. soon as I tightened it, it fired up. Must have got some moisture in it. What is the best way to get water out. I am going to try to pour some kerosene down it and keep flushing it. The engine sounds good.

I was driving it and it blew all of the antifreeze out and before I had a chance to get it over it was done. I tried to start it when I put it on the trailer it would turn over but it wouldn't start. Tried to start it when I pulled it down the driveway, it would turn over but would not start...

No one out there has had this problem? I can't get power to the starter relay through the key switch and it was working just before I pulled the engine and replaced. Is there anything I should check?

This is a good one. I have a 95 XJ, 2 door, 5 speed, 4.0. After 280,000 miles the motor finally gives up. I decide it is time for a new engine. I buy one and pull the old one out with the wiring harness still in tact but unplugged. I pull all of the wiring off of the old engine and all of...

I am from Cadet, We will be out at Flat Nasty on Sept. 1-3 and there is a run down at Alley springs on that weekend for the non-modifieds to learn on. Looking forward to meeting you on the trail.

I am looking for a carb and manifold and a distributor for a 2.5 litre engine. Thanks for the help.

My buddy is looking for a 231-J for his 96 XJ. Seems his needed an extra hole. Then instead of stopping he went ahead and drove it home. Found about a 3 inch hole in the bottom of it. I either need the whole transfer case or could use just parts and outside caseing. Would prefer it to be in...

I have just lifted my 90 XJ for the second time. I had a 3 inch and went to 4.5 inch. With the 3 inch I didn't have any trouble with the steering, but now I do. It does not steer as far to one side as it does to the other. If I turn the wheel to the right it only turns about half of the...

I know that it is not what you wanted but I have some short AAL's for the 3 inch lift. I think they are RE. I bought them used but I have not put them on. I would take $40 plus shipping for them. I will check on the brandif you are interested.

I have a problem with the idle on my 1990 XJ. It idles OK until it warms up and then it idles at about 2500. I read the Haynes manual on how to set the idle and it doesnt give me anything for a fuel injected model. Is there something I can check and set?

I am working on a Grand Cherokee for a couple that is young and needing help on a vehicle. I told them if I could find a good rear end for their Grand I would do the labor for free, but they would need to buy the parts. He just lost his job and she is pregnant and unable to work. I am doing...

looking for the linkage for the transfer case and the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder?

I've got one out of a 92 but let 8 -up work it out. I would ask the same for it anyway. P.S. thanks for the info last night Don.
