I got bored today and decided to mess with it some more, I took a few of the other tps’s I have and tested them without hooking them to the throttle body, full sweep on them ranges .27 volts to 4.75 volts, which seems more like it should be, so why when they are attached to the throttle body do...

I thought it was out of spec as well but I have tried literally 15 different tps sensors, junkyard used and brand new, tried advanced, autozone, and now Napa and can’t remedy the issue

Forgot to mention I tested the tps, has a good ground, 0.01 ohms there, 5.17 volts going in, idle has .43 volts and full throttle reads 3.9 volts

Drove the Jeep for a 15 mile drive so that everything was hot and then re rested my shift solenoids, readings are from top left of connector to top right, starting with white and black wire 14.9, 15.2, 16.1 ohms

So I had time to test the solenoids them selves, looking at the engine bay connector, from top left to top right (13.3) (13.3) (13.8) those are my 3 ohms readings at the trans connector, rest is O.L.

No there is no other symptoms of a tps failing, had a random high idle and traced it to a vacuum leak where the manifold bolts to the head, tightened those bolts and haven’t had that issue since

Yup it’s got decent/merc in it, I’ll find the service manual and test sensors and solenoids today

Lately I’ve been having some issues with my aw4 in my 96 Cherokee, sometimes it will shift perfectly fine and other times the issue comes when I’m in OD, converter locked. When I let off the throttle the TCC should unlock to allow the Jeep to coast, and then when you get on the gas it should rev...

So I did that as well, it sounds like middle of the engine so around cylinder 3-4 and at the top, any sure way to tell if a lifter collapsed ? I can’t really move any of the rocker arms when I press down on them

Yes I have done that, that’s how I found that the water pump was shot

So here is an interesting one for you all lol... to start I’m not new to jeeps, especially XJ’s at that, but I’ve never owned a Renix until this one. I’ve rebuilt a few 4.0’s including the one in my daily driver, but this is a new one for me lol. So I found this 89 for sale for $400 and he told...

But yes he has all new floor pans from quadratec, that’s what makes me want the Jeep haha, just can’t afford a new motor again as a college kid, first xj needed a motor and cost me a grand for a JY motor and the install

No , no blow by or smoke out the tail pipe so I guess I’ll check the flex plate, but still not convinced it didn’t bend a pushrod, it happened while he was doing a burnout so my guess might be it was over revved and bent a pushrod or even broke it

So here is the story, I’m looking to buy this jeep for a steal, kid says it’s blown up but it has great oil pressure, runs smooth and all, no smoke... but I had an xj before with piston damage and it sounded deeper than this, any idea if this could be a snapped skirt? Or valve train? Possibly...
