Hi, I seem to have a ticking noise coming from the drivetrain somewhere seems like it is under the jeep but only when cold and only when i do not accelerate easy. Any ideas? its an 89 with the aw-4 u joints seem good just changed the oil and filter in tranny and it was spotless.
I also seem to have hard starts as well kind of sputters to life then idles fine. I have replaced:
spark plugs
wires
cap
rotor
cps
cleaned grounds
added two grounds from the intake manifold to firewall and from the negative terminal to chassis.
Just picked this jeep up and everything I have done has helped as it used to have to crank forever to start but it does still take an abnormally long time (4-5 seconds most times sometimes more). Cleaned the IAC as well maybe I should replace it? also would an old o2 sensor cause it maybe? May just go through and replace all this stuff as previous maintenance is a mystery to me.
Thanks for the help!
