Have you ever gone digging to try and find a problem and somewhere along the way the problem 'goes away', and you have no clue what the problem was? My '88 had an intermittent stalling problem, which eventually got to the point of being a no-start condition. I fiddled with it for several weeks...

Just a quick FYI...I installed a new door seal about a month ago and was very disappointed with how it fit. It was so thick the interior trim wouldn't fit over it, and I had to slam the bejeezus out of the door to get it to close. I don't want to poo-poo the manufacturer, but I will say their...

Last week I had a short circuit that scorched some wiring in my XJ and as part of the repair I sought to try and replace one of the relay sockets in the gang of four on the passenger side fender. They are unavailable from the dealer of course, but as it turns out, they are on off-the-shelf item...

I work the graveyard shift...At lunch I went out and started my '88 XJ and heard a ton of belt squeal, and the volt gauge was way down to about 9V. I opened the hood as it ran to try and see what was going on and saw something emitting an orange glow at the front DS corner of the engine bay...

Hello, Does anyone have any leads on new vent window seals? I find plenty of CJ vent window seals, but no XJs. Also...I swapped out my DS door seal and find it's MUCH thicker than my old one was, ever. I have to really slam the door to close it. I'm sure I'm going to eventually break some...

Hello, Since I got my '88 running a few weeks ago I've been trying to 'show it some love' by fixing a few other things on it. 10-11 years ago I got the AC working and went with R134a in a system with a new compressor, expansion valve, drier, condenser, and hoses refitted with the...

Today I happened to have the engine running in my '88, insuring that it would run after I re-did some of the wiring. I had in my hand the CPS connector and was trying to figure out how to best tie it up and out of the way when the engine died. Long story short, after several restarts and further...

Hello, My '88 XJ has been giving me fits since late last summer. Initially it would stall while driving down the road, but would start back up right away. Changing the CPS did nothing to effect that. Then I noticed that when the engine stalls, as inertia is still spinning the engine over I...

Hello, I've owned my '88 XJ for over 20 years now, and except for some CSS issues when I got it, it's run very reliably. Those CSS issues were solved with the Chrysler issued kit that included a new sensor and harness that patches directly into the ECU connector. Last spring I was driving...

Hello, I have a mid 90's Dana 35 I want to rebuild for my '88 XJ and want these parts...for less than the $100.00 each the dealer wants for them. Any ideas? Thank you, Rick
