There are several relays in the power distribution center that may be failing from wear and the cold. I used to have this problem, with my 92 in freezing temps in Reno. Those larger blocky relays are inexpensive, so it does'nthurt so much to replace the ones that control the starter, fuel...

Hey, I want to thank you both, your responses are appreciated. I'm thinking the same things as you. Swapology is sometimes part risk taking, and part accurate information. The confusion can arise from a package of parts branded with one single part number. The OEM fuel pump module is a good...

Bosch 69544 (1996 XJ) Bosch 69316 (1999-2001 XJ) These two Bosch pumps seem identical in dimensions, connectors, outlet nipple diameter, clocking, foot, and even to their odd colored plastic. The hook is the price. The 1996 pump can be had for $60 while the 2000 pump is $80. They both sell for...

I bought one of their heads for my 00, about 3 months ago. Used odessa cylinder head (same bunch) I have read another compaint about core shift, but on the combustion chambers being off-center to the head gasket. I had two problems with the head I received. I did a stock replacement, so the...

To my knowledge, no dimensionally accurate CAD model of the XJ has been dumped into the public domain. There are several google 3d warehouse models in .skp, if you have the import module to translate sketchup. These particular polygonal models are likely loosely measured. If I was at work I...

i bought a 12 pt, 1/2 drive 1/2 inch deep socket from sears, and drilled its inside out with a 7/16 cobalt bit from home depot. I had to drill it out for the head bolts that look like studs, or it wouldnt grab the whole head of the bolt. I replaced the head on my 00 2 months ago. if the...

ATP makes the header, part number 101212 and 101112, it was called the ATP Challenge-Y it does not have a C.A.R.B. number, being marketed as OE replacement part. It has been known to trigger the smog nazi's http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=969230

1-5-3-6-2-4 the pulse from cylinder 5 is tuned to follow cylinder 1 and so on, notice the primary lengths are physically nailed to the firing order. There's a extra level of design in this bank's header. The cast iron header is crack resistant, which it designed for. My old APN header doesn't...

Banks header is a nice piece. I've been wanting one for my 00, but the iron manifolds are so durable, even after I swapped in a new cylinder head, they were still flat and sealed perfect after the bolts were tightened. These banks header actually have some primary length, so a few more horses...

It may be leaking around the brake booster's mounting flange, you'll know if you see water dripping from one of the booster studs. if you ever replaced the booster, or had it pulled away from the firewall the seal could be torn, out of position or just missing I had this very leak and it took...

For that heat soak. Just wrap injector 3 with aluminum sleeve and zip tie it on. I added 2 layers for overkill. I did this to my 00, and it never gave me that hot-restart shaky routine again. Sometimes wrapping #4 injector is necessary. This thermotec stuff can be had anywhere, and its...

pull your spark plugs and check the spark gaps its all too easy to bend a ground terminal and short a plug, causing an erratic misfire.

C2c did similar roller job on the passenger side floor pan I bought. For $45 it does ok. I had to straighten and rebend the flange on the rocker panel side, and beater bag the tunnel side to get the contours closer. Their stiffening beads are indeed much shallower than factory. Looks like...

We all know the specifics on site 2 in lower manhattan, called "park 51", aka the ground zero mosque of desecration. Did you know the flight 93 "memorial" called "Crescent of Embrace" is triumphal mosque site 1...
