Seal is from local supply house, what brand would you suggest? I don’t remember if I lubed them, but will when I do the next one🤣. The surfaces appear to be clean.

No vibrations. I have only replaced the output shaft seal. Is the tail shaft bushing the same thing as the extension housing seal?

2001 XJ 2wd. I have been fighting a leak at the rear transmission output seal. Have replaced 3 times now in the last year. The last time I replaced the slip yoke as it appear to be worn. That seemed to last the longest but know the leak is back worse than ever. Is it possible the driveshaft is...

Forgive my ignorance. Your post #24? Can you provide a link?

Ok so I decided to challenge myself and replace the injector, o2, coolant temp, TPS, MAP, Intake air, and IAC portions of of the engine wiring harness with a used harness that was intact without any broken insulation. My xj harness had numerous insulation breaks near injector 5/6 and several...

Yes I did and thank you very much for your insight! I am going to do what you did and make the repairs but I have to keep it running so my son can get around. I will keep you posted!

feel pretty confident that I have done this but will give it another shot. Going to try and go find another harness that I can put in so I can fix the one I have. Need to kept running while I work on it.

Yes it runs great under load, good acceleration, does not lurch or sputter, or appear to misfire at freeway speed or acceleration

The engine has a rough idle. Bounces around 675- 725 rpm. Sitting in the drivers seat you can feel the car shake. It is fairly consistent. Would spraying started fluid around the intake manifold work to detect leaks or are suggesting a purely visual inspection?

Dove into the harness it does look pretty bad. Most of the damage fraying seems to be the bundle of wires That take off between cylinder 5/6 serving the map sensor, TPS, idle control sensor.

Yes I put them in and the idle mIS did not change but I did start getting mis fire codes. Put the new ones back in and no more codes I had what appears to be the ELM 327 but did not have luck connecting to it. Seemed to be a wifi issue as other OBD II units seem fine. I switched internet...

I will take a look! thank you!

NTK on the o2 sensors. no on the crankshaft sensor and coil pack. Anything specific on the wiring harness? what part of the harness?

I don't have a OBD II scanner, just a code reader. One shop put two scopes on it and did not find anything. I used the NTK o2 sensors, not sure on the crank sensor. Not sure I under stand the second part referring to the genuine jeep obd engine sensor

Vacuum test feel off the initial post. 15.5-16.5 at idle. did a smoke test and got smoke out the throttle body rod. Replaced the o rings and rod, seemed to help. Also new fuel pump and and crankshaft position sensor
