Yeah that’s why I was confused cause I doubted the splice would cause that much pressure buildup. Which line did you blow out? I’ve never messed with the charcoal canister and I’m not even sure I know where it’s located. Can you please let me know what/where you did so I can try it out...

Hello, I have a 96 XJ and have been maintaining it to the best of my ability (college student = not much cash) but ive been trying and its fairly well maintained I would say. I noticed a gas smell the other day after shutting it off and walking behind, it so I crawled under there and I saw...

Yeah from what Ive been reading thats what I'm thinking too. My concern is that now I am unable to put it in gear at all, it seems like the clutch does not disengage/engage fully at all. If I go ahead and replace the master and slave cylinder assembly (buy a pre-bled full assembly) I should...

I know I probably need a new clutch kit (have known that for a while now) including disk, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. I am looking to diagnose other parts so that whatever I am able to replace I will and the rest ill let a mechanic do. I am really avoiding having to just throw parts...

Hello, I need some help diagnosing clutch issues with my 96 XJ. The symptoms started out being what I thought was a worn clutch (has around 145K and not sure when/if the clutch was ever replaced by PO) as I would put it into 3rd gear, engage the e-brake and lift of the clutch and it would not...

Yes they are indeed. Exactly. So based on what you said I block tested it with the temperature close to 3/4 mark and the test came out negative (i.e fluid stayed blue). I thought I messed it up and tested it again, still negative. Updated is below in this reply. At this point, I hope it’s a...

Thank you, I did not know they did that! Increasing reynolds number makes sense but decreasing the cross sectional areas is a big no no, especially with older cars where gunk, debris, loose particles, etc... are more common. I was thinking of replacing a radiator with another one just to...

Tire size has not changed. Im not entirely sure about exhaust manifold leaks I just always assumed mine was leaking and was planning on doing a complete exhaust overhaul (headers, high flow cat, and my existing cherrybomb) but dont have the cash for it just yet. The exhaust system, tire size...

I would think that the mechanical fan would be most helpful in city driving and if my clutch was indeed going bad it would be evident with my electric fan having to kick on while idling/city driving. I will take a look at it but even if it wasnt working 100%, with the airflow I "should" be...

I mean the radiator was fine when I was in california even at highway speeds never went over 220 but just recently its been heating up on the highway under load and I assumed it was the water pump since I had play in the pulley but that didnt fix it. As far as the condenser and radiator, the...

Youre right that totally slipped my mind, I should probably regear then swap my speedo gear...I should also clean both my sensor just in case, and since im trying to fight an overheating issue (have another thread on it). I never really checked for a leak, I just always assumed its leaking...

So what do you recommend for basic testing and cooling maintenance? As i said, CSF 2 row all aluminum radiator, thermostat, fan clutch, and 97+ electric fan were installed a year and 2 months ago. The system was flushed before install and 50/50 coolant was added. Water pump and belt were...

You mean an OBDII scanner? Wouldnt the check engine light come on if I had any codes?

Okay so I dont need to worry about air bubbles as long as my radiator is full after a heat cycle and my reservoir is full too. CJR, so I guess the first step would be to try and identify if I have mixing between my coolant, oil, and exhaust gases. I checked the dipstick yesterday and it was not...

So as long as my radiator is full after a complete heat cycle, and my reservoir is full then I should be good to go in terms of air bubbles and coolant level correct? I will pick up a new stant/Jeep radiator cap. 16 lbs correct? I will check and see if I can rent/borrow an IR temp gun, get...
