Re: better clutch hydraukics well in the first post I wrote 95 XJ - soooooo - that would be the year. Couldn't be an automatic trans - if I'm working on the clutch. And 95s only came with one manual trans. Already got my info from another forum. I think I'm dropping this forum - too many smart...

I need to replace my squeaky!!!! (sounds like an old rocking chair) slave and of course the master cylinder on my clutch. Pressure plate, bearing and disc only have 20k on them. I was going with the pre-bled unit. BUT - are these things plastic or just look like it? They look REALLY cheap. I...

Problem started 2 days ago. I have a slight tug - or - pull back as I turn a 90 degree turn at slow speed. Also as I am first starting off and turning. After I'm going faster and or straight no problem. Steering is just as it has been. I have replaced track bar, stablizer, all tie rod ends - and...

Thanks for the input - a frankenstein for sure. Certainly isn't stock. Off my list for sure - never know what else is changed.

Can an expert tell me what year this XJ really is? The seller says it's a 2000. To me it looks like an 89 or older. one of these links should work http://www.vavakstudio.com/art/Xj-inQuestion.png <img src="http://www.vavakstudio.com/storage.html">

Okay - been out in the garage for the past 2 hours and I am ONLY telling you this so you can avoid it - - working on your Jeep with a couple friends - beer and a lot of laughs - DOES NOT equal good work habits!!!! You know those red caps they put on a radiator so crap stays out until you...

yep - did that when I replaced all the front sheet metal

The plot thickens - I posted yesterday about my 98 XJ missing - well decided to take it for a good long drive - it never ever registered on the gauge over 220 but the overflow tank overflowed and got all over the distributor. Now there's an exciting miss fire!! Miss aside for now but - Can...

thanks - I will check that today

oops - forgot to add the last response. When it misses and at idle - the idle goes up and then back to normal.

no check engine light - and it runs great other wise. I know I need a good code scanner. My 95 xj was easy to check codes on

My 1998 XJ - automatic, 4.0 with A/C has a miss fire at about mid warm up. No other time. Starts fine - runs smooth, then abot 140 to 160 degree mark it starts running rough. Under power it back fires. Then a 200 - 210 it stops missing and runs great. Help? History - caught a deer the hard way...

Problem solved - wasn't a leak after all. I did a bubble check - replaced several hoses and nothing changed - and all bolts were tight. Anyway I remembered something in the instructions when I replaced my IAC last spring. The measurement from the mounting base and the end shouldn't be more than...

thanks for the ideas - I have checked the hoses - and even clamps on the vac assist for the brakes. The idle doesn't go down with the vac hose plugged. But it does drop a little with the CCV hose plugged. I think what I have here is a lot of leaks and I think at this point I will start replacing...

No advise - Hmmm. With all the fast idle problems jeeps have I would think someone would have an idea - The more new items the higher it goes. BTW did you know you can access the codes without a scanner? I found nothing there though so it has to be mechanical - I'll figure it out - always do...

I have a 1995 Sport, Manual Trans, 4.0, replaced the IAC, TPS last year to solve the same problem. She's been running like a dream since. Last week idle went up to 900 to 1000, So being the good owner I am (lol) I cleaned the IAC, and checked for leaks. Idle went up to 1100 to 1200. O-K. So I...

sorry for the delay in responding - yse I put 10 gallons of 10% blend and 4 gallons of E85. You nay-sayers are acting like I'm running a Ethanol dragster. It's just a stock 4.0 with 369,000 miles on it and it works. All that BTU, aluminum head, high compression crap your'e throwing around may be...

Just an FYI - I'm running - and have been for 6 months - about a 60 - 40 gas to ethanol mix. Did a major tune up last year and was getting 15 mpg average. After mixing the ethanol in I get 17 average and the old girl idles smoother and a bit slower. BTW she has 369,843 miles on the original...

but it's less than 2 weeks old - can't get clogged that fast can it? and why woulld it overheat? too much fuel - or not burning all the fuel? BTW all plugs are clean and grayish brown. Well except the #1 which I can't for thelife of me get the connector off. I could if I broke it - but . . . . .

My 1995 cherokee was running great after I replaced all the exxhaust from the head pipe back. All with a high flow system. A Crown Cat - 2.25 inlet and 2.5 outlet and pipe and a Dynomax muffler. That was about 2 weeks ago - only change I've done for 6 months. Except I gassed up at a different...
