    My "88 Limited did the same thing. My glove box light was staying on but I couldn't see it until one night. I adjusted the screws and it was solved!

    88 XJ Limited , 242, 4.0, 127K, auto, My XJ started to have a little "stagger" a month ago. Now, it will idle OK but will only go about 10mph. Pushing the gas it just has no power. Cat converter only has 26K on it and sometimes restarting it will have it run almost normal for a couple of...

    suddenly cold-natured

    My '88 Limited, 4.0, 242, auto, started having this big hesitation only on the first few accerations when first starting it up in the morning. Now, a week later, on my first acceleration of the day it banged alittle at 45 mph on the finale shift and lockup! When warmed up a little it is fine...

    AW4 Shifting Problem

    Sounds like someone "bumbed" the [power/comfort] control and it's now working in "comfort". Did that before on my "88!

    Electrical Problem?

    Had that problem a few years ago. Turns out the owner before me used a rag for a gas cap and it got sucked into the tank and would plug/cover the fuel intake and stall. Once the engine stalled the rag would sink and the truck would start and run till the next time!

    Starting Problems

    My '88 limiter auto did the same thing. Clean or replace your neutral starter switch. That allowed mine to crank. If your cps is bad then it will crank but not fire. good luck!

    Blower motor only blowing fuses...

    If the temperature isn't to warm the compressor will kick off and back on as needed to cool your interior. My '88 has always done this when it's not to warm but will run all the time when it is hot!

    Who has the highest Miles on an OEM 4.0L...no head/cylinder work.

    My '88 XJ limited has only 125,000 on it and I brought it back from Vegas to Indiana with no rust! I've put 45,000 on it with no problems except valve cover gasket. My buddies '90 XJ has 367,000 with no major engine work but it's starting to get weak.

    rear diff question

    My '88 has a Gov-lock and yes you need friction modifier for it to work properly. When I spin the wheels the second one turns just after the first one and then they both are "pulling". Not as good as a locker but more liveable and came from the factory with it.

    What models/years came with painted grills?

    I believe the Limited's have color and Laredo etc. have silver on most years. My '88 limited is colored.
