ive been running 15x8 rims with 3.75 back spacing for 17 years with no issues what ever oh ok so off roading i get more muck up the side of my vehicle. and once had my arm resting on the open window and got wacked in the elbow by a stone ouch that hurt

hi all so at 450,000km i decided to do the rear main seal 4.0l and while there do the timing chain harmonic balancer and seal. all went well but____ i forgot to put the oil slinger back, dam. that's the disc between the lower timing gear on the crankshaft and the balance seal. im not...

with 31 inch tyres 4.10 gears would be the best value for money add on in my view/ and experience. i went the 8.25 route only because my D35 was leaking and sounded like a junk yard dog

i guess you worked it out for your self, what were the results????

i have a '94 XJ limited with 4.0l and the dreaded rear main seal leak. i had a look at fixing it about 20 years ago and chickened out, but now its at a point it can't be ignored, unfortunately im also 20 years older. my question is, as the vehicle now has high miles and the crank is probably...

yea, FIXED woo hoo it was the MAP sensor. this old girl aint ready to die yet so happy, and upside is all the extra stuff i did is making it run beautifully so filled the tank with fuel and interested to see if there are any economy improvements. you have no idea how relieved i am.

my xj cherokee is a july built 1994, chasing another fault i thought i would check the fuel pressure, so an OBD1 fuel rail has the pressure regulator at the front end. from memory it should be 31psi at idle and 41 when running. so i connected the gauge let the pump prime, ign on motor not...

yep

man that would be the FIRST thing wouldn't it?? then the front prop shaft to get at the two lower rear most bolts. basics

i screw the lower bolts in a couple of threads and then wiggle the manifold into place. once the gasket is in place and the outer extractor bolts are in place is fairly easy, its the tightening go those two lower rear bolts that's the killer, especially with after market extractors i hurt for...

ok this is doing my head in, i got the bosch 4 hole injectors and they work beautifully, as has been quoted, smoother idle slightly healthier acceleration, and maybe marginally better economy, that's when i don't use the healthier acceleration heheh. however the problem is still NOT fixed, so...

thanks, I've done a bit more of an assessment now and wonder what you make of this, I'm feeling confident that it is the injectors. i thought at first it might have been heat soak, as it would be ok when cold, and only play up after sitting for a while after driving, once running it stays ok...

that's an interesting idea, I've been thinking go an injector, especially was they are original and have done 440,000 kilometres, ill try injector cleaner first, and see what happens. i may need to think of doing an injector upgrade as preventative maintainance.

definitely not a/c, its as if the ignition was being rapidly turned off, on,off,on. ive even noticed on a slight down hill run foot off the gas that the tacho would oscillate up and down about 500 rpm.

gees i getting worse, where the edit key lets try again " NO not RAVES, REVS" stupid key board
