My XJ almost killed me about a month ago when the brakes totally failed. Both circuits burst thru rusty lines at the same time. I was doing about 40mph down a busy street and a gasoline tanker was pulling in front of me to get into a gas station to unload. Luckily, he saw me and stopped...

Bought my 2000 a little while ago. After changing oil, I noticed that with the key on, but motor not running, I show about 50 psi. Running, it pretty much maxes the needle. Key off goes back to zero. Could the PO have rigged the gage to show bogus oil pressure? Seems like key on, not...

OK. Long story (12 pages with 180 posts), short. Mudeprived started a thread for “misfiring, where to buy injectors”. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1009745. It has now evolved into a thread on “how to hook a timer up to the efan”. He has a 2001, auto, 4.0, 4WD. :speepin: I...

I've been thinking about getting code reader for diagnostics, but after seeing Chrysler engineers hook up their laptops to pull vehicle data, it seems to make more sense to just hook my laptop in. Has anyone tried something like this? Is there any reason it won't work for our XJ's. Mine's a...

I've used rockauto.com for parts in the past and found them to have a good online format, quick delivery, and usually the best prices around. Here's a code for discount, too. No, I don't work for them. I'm just trying to help XJ'ers save a little coin. RockAuto Discount Reminder! :woohoo...

I know that the FSM says that compression should be 120 to 150 PSI. The old standby used to be that you needed at least 100 PSI (for old beater motors), but I've also seen motors that wouldn't run at 100 PSI until they were re-ringed to raise compression back up. What is the lowest compression...

Bought my 2000 about 6 months ago. Now using coolant and milky oil filler cap, even shortly after oil change. Assume cracked head. Scored a 1998 0630 head for $50 and matching stock header for $10 from craigslist. I know about the coil bosses and exhaust adaptation that needs to occur. I...

My 2000 with 109K miles runs good and doesn't seem to have any problems, but a slight drone/roughness sets up around 75MPH and stays the same at higher speeds. I hesitate to even call it a vibration because the mirror doesn't even shake. The steering wheel doesn't shake either. I know that this...
