I figured. Mine arnt in too bad a shape. I’ll toss some 31s on them for the street then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few years ago, I traded my rusty 00xj 4.0 aw4 for a just as rusty 89mj, 4.0 renix pugot ba5/10. On it was a set of micky thompson limited edition signiture series wheels. I buried them deep in the garage because they looked pretty good, and I wanted to run my steel wheels on 31s for the...

So, back story time. My brother helped his friend and rebuilt the 42re behind the 4.0 in his buddy’s zj. It’s a 95, rotten but it’s his buddy’s first vehicle. I was not involved in the rebuild. From the info he’s telling me, it sounds like it’s getting tied-up trying to get into 2nd. First...

Have you checked grounds? I personally had a main ground strap come loose at the firewall (the braided one that goes from firewall to rear to head). How did the issue start, did you do any major work under the hood? Did you just go out one day to attempt to start it? Sent from my iPhone...

That is true. I’ll be sure to soak all the knowledge up I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the sensor can’t pre heat could it not soot up early? It was charcoal black when I pulled it, and it was caked up with soot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it running good. The front O2 sensor didn’t check out. Had a spare used to variety and it ran batter so I got a new one for it. I found my “rough running” is something out of balance. I’ll investigate further. As far as the rear O2 code, I found my driveshaft got the wiring and shorted the...

So, got the codes, and noticed a few things P0443 evap solenoid P0138 b1s2 voltage high (it’s unplugged) P0171 band 1 system too lean. Also, idling, rolls black smoke out of the tailpipe (over-fueling?) Live data shows LTFT +30-50%. No exhaust leaks. I’m leaning towards the O2 or the ecu...

Think with ya dipstick jimmy. Anyone else remember those commercials? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Time for an update. Hate when theses get left open ended. Fuel pressure check out. Dead on 49 psi. Compression 1: 120 2:125 3:120 4:120 5:130 6:130 Compression seems fine. Will get the laptop fixed tonight and get some codes. The issue seems temp related. Somewhat drivable when cold, not...

Yea, time to eat crow. Never saw this before, but when I took the rockers off, the lifters pushed to max expansion, and got stuck. The laminated steel gasket left intentions from the brass rivets. Not deep, but left marks. 12 new lifters later and now I’m back to where I started before I ever...

Because I was in a hurry with my junkyard motor swap, I didn’t bother to replace the broken exauest until it has made itself a drivability issue. Now, it lets cold, unburnt air into the header and the ECU sees lean, so it fattens up, and fowls spark plugs. I got one head gasket, felpro 9076-pt1...

Checked over all the connections, every ground, even verified the sensor ground with an ohm meter to the negotiable battery terminal and the ecu case. No resistance there. I can’t get codes because I use my laptop with an obd to usb converter and it decided to kill a hard drive. One thing I have...

Also, I tried to post to the stock xj forum, but Tapatalk says I don’t have permission to post there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2000, aw4,4.0 federal emissions. I had ran my stroker too hard, wiped out s lifter and had oil pressure issues. Grabbed a 4.0 out of a 93 xj in the junk yard, swapped all the sensors to the obd2 and dropped it in. Ran ok for a few months, then a stumble If id get on it. Now ya gotten to the...

Put a timing chain in the 4.0 hoping to solve my random miss and shudder issue. Didn’t do it but the old chain had about 30 degrees of slop measured at the crank. Certainly did not hurt. Next step is either going to be CPS, O2, or map sensors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who’s got the worst rear main oil leak? I know mines pretty bad but idk if it’s the worst. I’ll post pics when I can. Mods: if this is in the wrong spot please feel free to move it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Draglink was replaced with a Hd one, TREs are all new as of 100 miles ago, track bar about the same age but I guess the shaking wore the bushing out already. wheel bearings don’t seem bad yet. I’m clueless to the age of them but they don’t get hot, the don’t make noise and they don’t move...

That was the plan. Unless this thing sells. I’m eyeing a 2wd 5speed for cheap. I may just pull the trigger on it. I have a few people I know who have swapped them to 4x4 and apparently it’s easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
