Hello, I have a '96 XJ. 4.0/AW4. When I stop the engine and restart it shortly after (always happens when warm), it will feel as if it's running on half the cylinders for about 30 seconds, with a rough idle and very little power. Goes away on its own. No check engine light. Any ideas what...

Hello, Did the older XJ power steering boxes have a lighter steering feel (thinner torsion bar)? If so, what years? Thanks.

Hello - I have a '96 XJ, 4.0/AW4. Something got wrapped in my rear driveshaft and ripped the wiring out of the downstream O2 sensor. I've been trying to locate the broken end of the wire to fix it, but for the life of me, I can't find it. Where does it come from? Thank you.

Hello, I just bought a rebuilt dual diaphragm booster. Before installing it, I occurred to me to suck from the check valve and I'm not feeling any resistance. It feels as is there is an unlimited amount of air inside. Does this mean the booster is defective, or does it need a certain vacuum...

Hello, I'm looking at a '96 Cherokee that has some transmission issues. It started to not shift gears, so the owner replaced the ATF and filter, with no improvement. He says he helps the transmission shift by working the shifter (?). I have already factored a transmission swap in the...

Hello, I powerwashed the engine compartment in my 97XJ and I've lost my kickdown downshift completely. I can do it with the shifter, but flooring the gas will do nothing. Transmission shifts at a leisurely pace, never downshifting. The cable appears to move fine and from what I've read this...

Hello, My '97 has the annoying "random misfire" error code. Engine misses at idle and at low RPMs, shaking a bit until RPMs go up past 1200. I am going through the items suggested in other threads (checking ignition components, vac leaks, CPS, fuel pressure...). Yesteday I started...

Hello, The temperature control knob in my 97 seems to stick and likes to "spring" back. I've been searching and most of the threads I see are either on the 96 and under style, or the later models with the servo actuating the blend door. Looks like I have a sort of oddball cable actuated setup...

Hello, In two identical vehicles, driven the same, could one expect a noticeable difference in MPG between an auto and a AX15? Thanks, MIkel

Hello, I have a chance to buy a relatively cheap 2000 Cherokee. The engine blew a head gasket and it was run for a while with coolant in the oil. The head gasket was fixed, but now oil pressure is low (about 10PSI idle warm) and a faint bearing noise can be heard. I was thinking of pulling...

Hello, I have a set of Dana 60's (front and rear) from a late 80's Dodge truck. Gearing is 4.10, kingpin, external locking hub front. I'll try to take some pictures this weekend. $1000 for the pair. Located in New Haven, CT. Thanks, Mikel

Hello, The time has come to sell my Cherokee. It has the 4L engine and five speed. 211K miles, mostly highway. It has power steering, power brakes, power windows, locks, tilt steering column, wireless alarm, air conditioning and a class III tow hitch. It has been my daily driver until now, in...

Sorry if this has been discussed in other threads. "Kenosha Engine bids farewell to the 4.0 engine line With a few tears and some fond memories, Kenosha (Wis.) Engine Plant employees had a retirement party last week for the 4.0-liter engine, which the plant has been building for 43 years. The...

Hello, I have stripped one of the two mounting threads of my 95's front brake caliper. Will a helicoil be 100% safe? This is my main concern. Thank you Mikel :doh:

Aren't XJ's tough little buggers... Look at these pictures, the damage that Cherokee caused, and how relatively intact it ended up. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475377

This is the third time my passenger side motor mount bolts shear in three years :soapbox:
