Is anyone here familiar with Ground Reference? My son was teasing a coil on my old '92, as a possible reason why his '93 wouldn't start. He left the coil on the '92, and merely unplugged the two feed wires, and the high tension lead, and plugged them into the other coil. He proceeded to crank...

I'm replacing the cat and the rest of the exhaust system in my '96. It's been rattling for a while, but now it's broken and leaking, and throwing a code. I've got a new Walker cat, but before I tear the exhuast system apart, I need to order a new O2 sensor to install into it. Looking at a few...

Is Radiator Barn still in business? I'm surfing the net today, and cannot find them anywhere, and I keep getting directed to their Facebook page. When I click on the link to their website, I get directed elsewhere. When I Google their name, all I get is complaint pages, many generated here on...

What rears are common in '97+TJ's? I know that Rubi's and Unlimiteds (LJ?) supposedly have Dana 44s, but what was available in 'normal' Wranglers. I have a co-worked asking me questions, and the subject of rears came up. Other than killer high prices for JUNK, I'm at a loss for some of the facts...

I just replaced the original track bar under my '96, at 175k miles. By far, the longest surviving one in our fleet. What kind of mileage numbers have others come up with?

I recently watched an episode of Spike TV's Muscle Car, and they were showing one of their 'how-to' segments where the host was installing rear shoes on a 1970 Olds Cutlass rear axle. After going through the procedures of removing the old shoes and inspecting for leaks, he showed the...

It's belts, hoses, and plugs time, at 90k miles, for our '04 OutBack Wagon. I had the head gaskets and timing belt done about 2k miles ago, and now it's time for the rest. I put on two new Gates belts (XJs like them best, why not Subies?). The A/C belt tightened up nice, no squeal at the...

I just replaced the TPS and O2 sensors in a friend's '04 Grand. It was running crappy, and once warmed up, would stumble and try to stall when placed in reverse. It now runs forward and shifts through the gears just fine, but when you try to back up, it immediately runs rough and stumbles into a...

I need to replace the CTS on my '96 4.0. I'm chasing crummy MPGs (just like every other thread recently!), and thanks to some resistance values from Alldata, I've determined that it's toast. In addition to the CTS and the O2 sensor, are there any other little items which may keep this engine...

I had the engine computer of my '96 Country 4.0 re-flashed in June of '09 as per the factory recall campaign. It behaved just fine before, except for marginal (compared to my other XJs) fuel mileage. Shortly afterward, I noticed a delay when lifting off the gas, that it would run on an extra...

I just installed a new TPS in my '96 Country. The old one, a junkyard piece, was working, but the engine would take an extra second or two to settle down when lifting off the gas while driving. With the new one, however, the engine wants to idle at about 1200, in or out of gear. I just called...

Has anyone around here had any experience with this product? It seems that the re-branded version of this is used as additive by Subie dealers, and now I'm faced with a weepy head gasket in our '04 Outback, at 76k miles. I've always been leery of miracle elixirs, and I'm wondering if this will...

'96 Classic, AW4, 242, D35 Limited Slip Rear. We're chasing a vibe, that feels, from the driver's seat, like it's from the front end. From the passenger seat, like from anywhere. It starts building at 65MPH, remains but never gets worse if you go faster. Don't think it's a tire balance issue, as...

Does anyone know where to find a pin-out for an NSS from a 2001 AW4? I got one at the JY (someone had conveniently pulled the tranny, it was just laying there, I couldn't resist), but the plug seems different than the ones I'm finding by searching. I printed GoJeep's excellent write-up, but his...

My '96 country 4.0 became reluctant to start a few weeks ago. My first thought was pump. I had a thread going, and one responder suggested a leaky injector, losing pressure overnight. I got hold of a pressure gauge, and it showed zero after sitting, but it pops right back up to 49 at the turn of...

My '96 4.0 has become reluctant to start first time of the day. Today I uncapped the Shraeder valve on the fuel rail before turning the key, and nothing came out. I then primed the pump a few times, and got a good spray out of it. (Our other '96, sitting since Saturday, still had good pressure...

At the expense of starting another 'crappy MPG' thread/rant, the question I'll pose is, Does anyone know which brands or octanes of gasoline do not contain the '10% ethanol'? Yeah, like everyone else, I don't think I'm getting the MPG I should. And that's in our Outback, as well as our XJs...

Today my '96 4.0 AW4, 142k miles threw a code. When I got home, I hooked up my scanner and got P0121-Throttle Position Sensor, Switch A ckt Range/Performance. I went to the yard and grabbed a whole throttle body, from a '96 with 119k miles. I'm going to clean one of them, and hopefully will have...

Sitting here watching O'Reilly and surfing. He just had a story about how the governor elect of New Jersey, Chris Christie, a huge fan, veteran of over 120 concerts, asked Bruce to perform at his inauguration. He said NO. Keep in mind that he performed at fund-raisers for John Kerry and Barry...

How does one go about removing the clutch from the front on the compressor? The now colder temps are now shaking out the marginal components, and now the currently inoperative A/C system is taking its turn. I removed the belt, and the comp. pulley barely wants to turn, making all sorts of...
