didn't see or hear anything abnormal. slight flexing of the plate itself but no noises. this xj is seriously getting on my nerves!!

will do. thanks for the info.

ok so i been searching the boards and various others and best i could come up with is a stuck lifter or flexplate. let me explain what happened. I was driving normally and all was fine. i needed to get over to make a turn and had to floor it to get around a slow poke. when it downshifted and...

i know. i blew them out with compressor and cleaned them with some cleaner i had for my MAF on my other car.

well its been a while but im still working on this POS!! I Hate this damn XJ! I thought i found the problem while i was examining the ex manifold with a light and mirror. I found that the rear most bolt was snapped off and the 3 near it were loose. I took the intake and ex off and replaced the...

thanks for the reply. we are working on it this weekend and hope i find something because i have to have it running for next week or i don't know what ill do. ill let you know what we find or don't find lol

I do have what i believe a leak at the header but i can't locate it visually. I have it at a buddies shop right now and he is looking it over. can even the slightest cracked header cause the problems i am having?? if so i will just get a APN because im sure it is leaking somewhere and not going...

didn't find any blown fuses and FP right at 49 ish. uggg i hate this

which fuse are you talking about?? i know there is a fuse with the 02 heater circuit that is not labeled

ok so i been tinkering around with it and trying to just check and clean all elec conections and try to test all sensors. so far i know the 02's are good and functioning properly, the map is good, ect is good, ignition system is in perfect order and im no longer getting a miss from #6 however i...

I broke mine a while back thanks to a jackass at the jeep dealer not bolting the clench bolt at the steering column. when i replaced i did what said above by rotating till i got resistance and then counting the number of times it went back other way and it worked. fine. the clock spring which...

swapped wires around and such and nothing has changed. i also pulled the wire on the #6 plug and it made a noticeable difference and about died. getting confused.

jacobs, thanks! i do have access to a mechanic and any equip i need but i have been trying not to bother him. Maybe ill just have to. I wonder if a snap on scan tool will read what i need? it does real time readings of all sensors. Do you think the cat is toasted? should i remove it?

ya the plugs looked all the same for the most part. the number six was good. I checked the Fuel pressure and the ECT and all looks good. I did notice that today while driving to get my son i was at 50mph which is 1500 rpm's and left off the throttle and it dropped to 1200 and back to 1500 and...

power feels good, revs quickly and sounds good not since i have owned the XJ but I was under the impression it wasn't servicable thanks! I did check everything while i was doing the tune up but ill double check all vac lines etc. i have had coolant temp issue's before and i replaced it...
