It ended up being the Coolant Temp Sensor plug. It had continutity but obviously did not have a good connection. I ended up bending the connecting feet with a scribe and now it works 5.0. The No Start was caused by the coil connector backing out. The tab is broken so I zip tied it. Back on the road!

Well, now the whole d@mN thing won't start. And I'm getting codes 12, 22, 22, 55. What the heII? It spits out 22 twice? The way it is acting other than the codes, I'd say CPS. I went through 3 of them on my '94 XJ with manual. It died on me while I was driving around yesterday. I started it up...

I went ahead and bought another sensor and hooked it up. Same situation. Tried jumpering the two wires together to see if it would trick the code to disappear. No such luck. I reset the computer for 10 min in between each check. The code latches even before I turn it over. Any info out there?

Yep. Left it off two different times for over 5 min each. Just read the sensor again. 9k ohms cold, 1.25k ohms hot. I am running a 180 deg thermostat since I live in the Mohave Desert so those readings should be correct right? I also re-read the wires all the way to the computer for continuity...

I hooked up the old sensor and it remains. No teflon tape. The only reason I replaced it is that the connector was broken on the sensor. But it didn't have the code before. WTF?!?

I bought the rebuild kit. I pulled it. I rebuilt it. I installed it. It didn't work. I pulled it again. I dismantled it. I didn't find anything wrong with it. I reinstalled it. It didn't work. I pulled it again. I went through the valve body and checked the operation of everything with low...

I'm getting a Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Code 22 consistantly. I read the wires from the ECU to the sensor and they read good. I recently installed a new sensor so I assumed I got a bad one but the resistance when cold and hot are good. Any ideas?

I finally took mine to a reputible tranny shop here in town. They did an awesome job. They found everything was installed correctly but a rubber seal was cut during the installation of the first/reverse brake, keeping it from maintaining pressure. Sucks. Works great now though! A word of advice...

I got it to go fwd. I forgot to take the transfer case out of neutral. Whoops. Then I finally took it to a great tranny shop here in town. Let me know if anyone wants their #. Really great. It ends up that it was actually one of the seals on the first/reverse brake. The valve body and...

Nope. Haven't found a gauge yet. Once I put it back on the ground it won't even go forward. Negative progress.

The transmission is back in the Jeep. Still have the same problem. Park works perfect. Neutral and reverse go forward slowly. The other positions go forward. I haven't taken it on the road to see if it shifts gears in drive yet. Everything has been done in my driveway on jackstands. Any ideas...

I went ahead and pulled the tranny and dropped the valve body. Everyone I've spoken to (including Tito!) say that it sounds like a valve body problem. I verified that all of the check balls were installed correctly and the actuation of the valves. Everything checked out ok. The manual says that...

Thanks alot! I'll rip into it tomorrow. Not too excited about it but at least I might not have to tear into the internals again. Talk about a bunch of busted knuckles! I have 3 more hours at work though. Anymore ideas of what to check?

I recently rebuilt my AW4 and 4.0L. The engine is running like a top but the tranny is having problems with reverse. I disconnected the linkage and played with it by hand to no avail. It doesn't even try to grab. It goes into drive and runs fwd fine. (With the exception that the transfer case...

The swap isn't too bad. Cheap is relative. Check around for a good salvage.
