OK, pulling my hair out here. Here's what's new: Coil, Coil Controller Module, Coolant Temp Sensor, New CPS (I tried 2) Cleaned Grounds. Here's what happens: Car will start fine and drive fine, but then just stall out. Not a fuel problem, and I can get it to restart by grounding the coil wire...

Brand new CPS put in to solve an intermittent no start. Worked great and car started and ran fine for a day, next day, it wouldn't start. A few times when this happened, rocking the car fixed it. I'm thinking shift cable needs adjustment first. Anyone got a link to instructions (lost myFSM)...

Posting this for a friend.... When turning the signal either left or right, all turn signals come on steady. When the hazards are activated, all 4 signals blink properly. Things we tried: Disconnect Trailer harness from main Replace flasher modules Neither had any effect. One clue: While...

A quick tip that I found made a dramatic improvement to a "mystery" loss of fuel milage. With pretty much all new sensors, a recently rebuilt engine, and a recent tuneup, I was surprised one day when filling up to see my milage drop from the 16-17 MPG range to the 10-11 MPG range. Obviously, I...

Greetings, I was looking for a link or info on the homemade Posi-lok. Unfortunately, everyone is linking to the same earthlink page, which is no longer around (yes, I searched a LOT). Anyone have the details they could send me? It seems like basically we replace the Shift motor with a cable...

Well, it seems my fairly new RE trackbar is going out (this would be the Heavy duty, not the extreme duty). In my case, the lock nut came loose on the adjustment and the threads got fubar from the flexing on the threads alone. Is the Extreme Duty Track Bar from Rubicon Express, along with the...

Is it possible to clean the air condition evaporator without tearing out the dash? I've got the usual drip on the floor, and the air flow doesn't seem to be what it should. I'll check the drain. If I can find a way that doesn't tear up the whole car to clean, I'll go for it.

OK, this is wierd: The other night when I hit the brights they started flashing on and off every 2-3 seconds. Happened about 2 minutes after hitting the switch and would get faster. When I turn the brights off, all is OK. This is quite repeatable and can happen in the driveway with the engine...

In my 89 Cherokee, I've noticed that when I turn on the blower for the heater that the Ammeter drops down to the mark between 9 and 14 (~12). Draw is apparently related to motor speed, since changing speeds (all speeds work) changes reading with highest speed drawing the most current. I have a...

OK, the stering box is going and I need to replace. Here's what I got: 1989 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L, RE 4.5 lift and RE drop brackets. Running RE Track Bar. Since it will be out, I'm wondering if anything can be gained with a drop pitman arm. Does it need to be done in combo with a dropped track...

OK, I think the three problems are related, since they all came around the same time. Overall, the wiring is pretty clean on my 89, having been rebuilt under the hood. In the last few months, I did install a radio and had a hard time getting all the wires in there, but managed and all worked...

Ok, Tell me this is OK and all I need to do is seal the thread..... Just got my SECOND engine back from the shop (long story). Has about 100 miles on it, running great. I just noticed a small coolant leak coming from the front exhaust stud on the exhasut manifold. I don't want to believe the...

Is there such a thing? I keep getting mine wet and it either dies or kills the battery. I want to be able to ford deep streams, and this ain't cuttin' it. I have a stocke rebuilt alternator in an 89 and yesterday after splashing through the water on a GRAVEL (note: no mud) creekbed, I ended up...

1989 4.0L Auto OK, I just put my engine back in and think I must have forgotten to hook something up. Most sensors are new and wiring is pretty clean, so I think its something simple. Here's the issue: Starts immediately and goes to correct idle of ~800 RPM on Tach. If I give it some gas, it...

OK, I definately need lower gears now that I'm running 32's (planning on 4:56). Question I have: "Is it economical to add lockers later?" I can probably afford to have gears installed now, but if I can only do lockers at the same time, it'll have to wait.

How can you tell? About to put an engine back in after 2nd rebuild. When I had it together, it would shift in and out pretty hard, but I was assuming that was because the tranny was hunting for gears since I'm running 32s with stock gearing at the moment.

After 3000 miles on a new long block I have a blown engine. Here's what's been done to it, I'm trying to figure out why it blew, or find out if the machine shop is just hosing me: 89 Jeep Cherokee that's totally been rebuilt. Includes the following: New Long Block from Machine shop All new...

I'm getting a LOT of ail in my airbox on a brand new engine for a 89 4.0L. It has all new everything including the emission lines. Oil is coming in to the point that I go through 1/2 quart of oil if I drive it hard on the freeway for 300-400 miles. I belive I've tracked it down to the snorkles...

Well, I was all ready to make my first trip followinga pretty total rebuild of my 89 Xj w/ 4.0 engine. After a hard pull up a hill on the freeway at 80 MPH, as I coasted down the other side, started to hear rattling from ther head. When I pulled into a gas station there was oil pouring out the...

OK, we're looking for a few odd ball parts for our XJs: 1. Soundbar 2. Torx head bolt (1/2") for Tow Hook (standarsd bolt gets hit by sway bar) 3. Plain plastic triangle for wing vent area. MNost have mirror adjuster stem, I want the plain one. Need left and right sides. Not finding these at...
