Does NAPA carry BG44K? I will pull the plugs, I have no compression tester, I'll ask around and see if I can locate one to borrow...

I am trying to think of a way to test this. I know that injectors are just solenoid valves with their timing/duration controlled mainly by the ECU. I just can't think of how it could dump fuel at WOT but not at a lower throttle setting. How would one test for this situation? Thanks!

I searched and found references to a possible o2 sensor issue, but mine only runs rich under full throttle when the tranny kicks down into passing gear (automatic obviously). Other than that, the exhaust does not even smell rich, let alone blow black smoke. Suggestions? Thanks, Stuck

Thanks for the tips, I'll try to get it cleaned off, bolts tightened, and pinpoint the leak. I'm glad I asked, I would have been under it this weekend, probably "fixing" a non-issue...

Thanks 8Mud, I'll clean it up again and take a look. Appreciate the reply.

Hello all, Been away for a long time, but the bug bit and I have a "new" XJ. She runs great, but drips oil like a sieve. It appears that the oil pan gasket, and perhaps even the timing chain gasket are leaking. Is the oil pan gasket change-able with the motor on the mounts, or does it...

My harmonic balancer is pooing out the rubber from where it is encased between the two pieces of steel, extruded kinda. Will this be a tragic thing when it fails? I plan on swapping it out pretty soon, but would rather not sooner than later. I have been spending more time with my XJ than my...

Problem resolved...my poor jeep picked up an additional 70K miles, but worth it...it was the gauge itself. Go figure... Thanks for your suggestions, just had to get dirty with this one, thank God most sincerly that Jeeps are free, so I have donor vehicles!

The sender I replaced was the one at the back of the head (4 Liter 6 Cyl) on the driver's side, the one you burp the air from the system from. Anyone know the cold/hot resistance readings it should show?

First thanks to all who gave such helpful, on the money suggestions to my last question. Now I have a problem that I just can't figure out. Replaced Radiator, Electric Fan, Temp Sender all with known good ones. Re-checked all fuses, still no operation on the temp gauge. When I turn the key...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Which relay runs the fan?

1990 Cherokee Lorado...It all started the other day when I had a plastic fitting break and dump my coolant, no steam cloud, no smell, so I didn't find that till too late. I noticed a tiny bit of steam from the corner of the hood, and since I had a small leak at the surge tank cap, I felt I...

Cool, thanks, I am done for the day with the jeep, got a Dodge Truck master cylinder to do yet before dark... will check it tomorrow....on the bright side if it is a bushing, I have the donor vehicle with good ones on it :-) .

Pardon my ignorance, is the track bar the trailing arm coming off the axel to the frame?

NAXJA Forum Rules!! Bendix system failed completely, start new job monday, no time for dealer intervention...but I have 3 XJ's one dead, so ABS conversion was in order. Thanks for the write-up Steve, all it takes to do the job is right there, wouldn't have even tried it without your...

Hey all! I am the proud owner of 2 XJ's 87 Limited & 89 Lorado. Both free, and worth every penny!! Ha, killed one over the winter rescuing the wife from an icy parking lot on Fox Island...so daily driver and parts car reversed roles. All of the parts I took off of the one had to go back plus...

Sorry Double Post Mods please delete...

Got Blue Jeep together enough to drive it around a bit. 15-20 minutes of hard driving, accelerating hard, stopping, doing it again, over and over, 0-60 to 0. Then I went to some undeveloped land nearby and crawled up and down steep hills, through stupid thick brush (you ought to see Scotch...

ah, thought it must be an IR sensor, thanks for the reply mtnxj, it is good to learn new things!

Just what is the dark plastic thing just above the rearview mirror, at the headliner just above the top of the windscreen? Looks for all the world like an IR sender, but ??? I have never owned a user manual for an XJ, and am sure it would say, but having owned 3 with that thing, inquiring...
