My 87 XJ has been running so hot that the carpet inside above the mufler caught fire. I have been trying to solve this problem for 6 months with a severe lake of results so any suggestions will be helpful. The engine temp seems to be fine (as long as I remember to hit the swith for the electric fan while I'm wheelin' ) Here is what I have done so far to solve this:
New muffler & cat
Had the fuel system power flushed
New coil and did a major tune up
New O2 sensor
Still after a freeway run or a run up a tough trail you start to smell the foor getting hot and when checked it is too hot to touch. Last night I checked my friend's XJ and his floor was warm but nothing like mine. I took it to a shop and paid them to run a diagnostic on the thing. That is where I had them do the fuel system flush. It runs better but still heats up. I can't think of what else to do other that take it to the dealer and pay them to check it out. You have no idea how much I hate doing that but I am at a loss here. HELP!
