Ok I see some oil drain holes but it looks like 2 of the holes are very rough (like as if the pushrod cracked through the block.) Even if that happened would it even matter because the oil goes down there anyways right? About the pushrods letting go what could do that? I'm going to change the...

Sorry 4.0 of course if that matters

Okay so I bought a 99 grand cherokee (I know its not an xj but this shouldn't matter I didn't feel like registering to a different forum) with a whole in the block. It knocked and smoked and there is antifreeze in the oil. I took the head off and it looks fine. I have a spare engine from my dads...

Okay thanks a lot for the help. And i just pop the hose for the gauge onto the end of the shrader?

Yea the codes might be gone. I didnt scan it after i replaced the sensor, but i'll check that all out soon. About the fuel... can i buy a gauge from a auto parts store? Is it hard to test it? What will this do.. help me figure out if the fuel pump, filter,etc is good?

yea i just changed all those parts because it was really cheap and the tune up stuff, well thats always a good thing to do. i didnt spend over 100 dollars on parts yet. thats including fender flares and some other stuff. I know a bit about electronics so i can test the map circuitry tomm no problem.

Ok thanks thats another thing i can check. Thanks. I also picked up an extra ecu just incase that's the problem. I found a really nice xj at the u-pull it yard today

I did a lot of work today. I started out with a scan. 2 codes: p0107-manifold absolute pressure barometric pressure p1296-No 5 Volts To MAP Sensor (read on.. i changed the whole throttle body today) -i didnt get a chance to switch the relays but i got "new" ones at the junk yard so...

My 99 auto starts up but it runs like it has no gas. If i don't hit the gas it will stall. If I hit the gas it just keeps it running but its extremely rough. If I spray starting fluid in it, it will run better and start easier. One in a blu moon it will idle and rev fine for a couple mins. Any...

So my serpentine belt snapped and it overheated. I drove it for a few miles while it was smoking until I could park it. I fixed the belt and it seems to be only running on 2 or so cylinders. Would you assume the engine is damaged or is there a possibility that the plugs could have fouled due to...

I read up on the wiring, and I don't think I want to get into this project since as of now this is my only vehicle. I'll stick with the ax-15 for now.

No one?

My truck is a 98.

How hard of a job would this be? What parts would I need? How about the tcm? and any other wiring? If you're wondering why I'm considering this is because I might need a new trans anyways and I had too many manual vehicles and want a change. (No, I don't offroad that much, so I can get by with...

I think I'm going to try U-joints. Well actually, I'm just going to pick up a used driveshaft for $50. But I'm wondering... why would it only do it in reverse? wouldn't U-joints do it all the time? Also, the clunking happens every time its in reverse (not just sometimes) and it won't do it...
