Hey all. 2 things. A guy is selling a 1996 XJ in town for $1500.00??? Good deal or no? he says the only things he knows wrong with it are the left CV joint is going out and there's a tranny line leak. Hopefully not hard to fix. The other thing got me thinking though. He said that some type of fuel sensor is going out because when you are sitting at a stop light for too long or some scenario in likeness, it gets too much fuel. I didn't think this was possible with fuel injection. Any of you know about this?

Look it over pretty well.. that's a good deal if those are the only things seriously wrong with it.
What are the symptoms accompanying this "over fuel"? I would imagine if he is just smelling extra gas that the injector seals are leaking fuel. That's something you want to fix right away as it's a pretty big fire hazard. If the rig is actually dieing at stop lights, there may be something else wrong.

And while your at it pull the engine codes and see what else you need. but it's still a good deal if you can do the work yourself.

That may not be exactly what you have, but it will give you a good idea of the process involved of pulling the shafts to replace a u-joint.

1996 should already have the 297 axle shafts and they are one piece, so no additional upgrades (appart from replacing ujionts) should be necessary. Same thing goes for seals: unless they are leaking don't worry about them.BuckFever said:
Trick is that when you're pulling out the axleshaft, support it with your other hand by the housing so that it doesn't try to rest on the seal as it's coming out (if you don't support it you could potentially nick the seal with the splines)
