I think you have the wrong THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR on your xj. Renix models have a different TPS for the auto. It works backwards then the standard shift one. That explaines your getting OD when you mash it

I drove a 99.5 jetta tdi with abs for 114k miles and can count on one hand how many times they came on. And some when I was testing it. Also the wheel speed sensors might not like mud all over them. JoBo

You had the distributor out right? If so leave the clamp bolt out so you can turn it and have someone crank it while you rotate the distributor one way or the other. You're most likely one tooth off on the distributor. Been there, done that... JoBo

As he stated both solenoids 1 and 2 must have power to have second gear. To do that there must be power. If there's no power then no 2... JoBo

I would get a 99 with the good cylinder head. They changed heads in late 99 and all the 99's I looked at before buying mine almost a year ago had the better head. JoBo

He's right. I've had both a 93 VW Eurovan and a 96 XJ that had their cats brun u and rattle from running rich because of o2 sensors. Replacement cats come with a warning/statment that the original cat should not have gone bad and unless the cause is corrected the new one will fail also. JoBo

Definetly so and they also cause DW. I think the shop is shotgunning it. If they knew jeeps they would have added the "U" joints. JoBo

Before the thread went into a tangent, You should know several things. There are a couple of things that will cause a knock in XJ's. One is the bolts on the flex plate coming loose and hit the bellhousing. Pull the dust cover in front of the bellhousing and check the bolts. Second they are...

I don't agree with langer1. The regulator will try to maintain somewhere right around 14 volts. It's a voltage regulator. In a perfect world you should not see 9 volts. Your right, once started the alternator is running the load the battery is just "storing" for the next start or when your...

I wonder how the price compares? JoBo

I recently read that E85 gets 72% of MPG for the same amount of gasoline and pure E gets 70%. JoBo

The TPS sensors were only adjustable on the RENIX systems. JoBo

What year? As far back as at least a 96, they have a battery temperature sensor on the battery tray that contacts the bottom of the battery and sends a input to the engine computer that controls the charge rate. It is spring loaded to contact the bottom of the battery. Maybe it's lost it's...
