First time thread. I have a 2000 XJ and it has a longer than normal crank time for a 4.0L. Its followed by rough running for a few seconds, usually if I put my foot in the throttle and rev it up, it clears out and will be fine. I have owner many 4.0L and familiar with crank times with thses motors. What gets me is that the engine has been tuned up, new plugs. Throttle body cleaned, new air filter. I own my own DRBII and there are no codes and everything apears good on the state displays. I have not run a snapshot as I no longer work in the dealer and have access to download and look at all the volt lines comming in and out fo the ECU.
This drives me nuts as it will not allow mw to use my remote start, yeah I am a wuss..! I have 3" lift with 31" tires and am still getting 15-6mpg, so I am assuming that I am still running pretty good. The jeep used to get near 20mpg before the lift and tires...
I remember therebeing an issue with valve being to tight on certain 4.0L? but cannot locate old tech bulletin or anything with Chrysler.. If anyone can help with this issue I would appreciate it more than you know.. Otherwise its up for sale and on to my next XJ....
Thanks..
