Does look like a crankshaft position sensor. Those might also be called engine speed sensors - I don't really know. Also have no idea what motor it belongs to.

You may have seen my post asking about that sound. I think this is different in that others searching for bearing advice might find this and get some help. I've seen the videos of wheels that will rattle all over or free-spin. My question is, on a 4x4 XJ, what is the best way to check if the...

Sometimes the oil pressure senders just don't work right.

Is spinning and wiggling a good test for the hub assembly bearings?

I get this quiet lub,lub,lub rotational sound on left turns only. I thought it was my front right hub bearing, but I just lifted that corner and spun the wheel. It spins smoothly with no play in any direction. Here's how far it will spin: If I grab a lug at 9 o-clock and spin it to 12 (my...

I do appreciate the input guys, but I went with the cheapy from o'reilleys. I'm out of time on this and money and they'll have it before 8 am tomorrow for under $110. I will be inspecting the bottle area VERY well while it is running after I'm done with the rad. I remounted the water pump...

Thanks, I will pass - I also discovered this thing has a trans cooler already. It is a single sideways u-shaped tube with fins; about 4" high x maybe 16" wide. Maybe it's a towing package or something. I still need to know how to bleed this thing properly. I've tried the temp sender thing a...

Thanks buddy! I think I'll try out the cheaper style. How important is a trans cooler? Should I get a B and M cooler from advanced auto while I'm at it- and plumb it in before the radiator? I don't tow and I'm back to stock tire size, stock gearing. If it's not that important, I'd skip it...

My '88 had a water pump failure that blew up the cooling system. The stock radiator is copper something (green corrosion), and is leaking in more than one place and has some fins smashed up. Long story short: I need a new radiator ASAP (today!). The cheapy aluminum / plastic combos are about...

Just discovered my radiator developed leaks in more than 1 place. I'll get to searching about radiators, but can you guys recommend a good one? I don't really want one of those cheapy alum/plastic ones. How did you guys modify the closed system to allow better burping?

I already have the green Volvo cap and it held pressure beyond the fittings, etc that steamed. The bottle is a new one, very rigid, but it blew up like a balloon. No leaks detected there, but it could have very small cracks that seep under pressure. Anyone think it'll work to run the engine...

Will running it with the pressure bottle cap off bleed air ok? I had this thing working great for 2 years, then the water pump exploded. Now I'm fighting with it again. Just noticed it's leaking at the water pump gasket. I didn't have the torque specs in the park and ride where I did the...

I burped it really well tonight and just got back from a test run. It got up to where it used to run, opened the thermostat and dropped, then climbed up and settled where it used to run. Then it slowly began creeping up again all the way to 210 and beyond on the interstate. At lower speeds it...

You can rent flare tools (I think). The only other tip I have is- flaring is no fun. Get the best galvanized tube you can find. I got some tube from autozone that was coated in some green plastic coating. Nothing necessarily wrong with the coating, but the wall thickness varied enough that I...

Had the most major problem of my 88's career. Water pump failed, throwing the pulley forward a half-inch, tossing the belt. My experience was: temp gauge pegged into red out of nowhere, steam into cabin and from under hood, power steering loss, clunking. I got it to the shoulder of the...

Solid tip! I just got done reading a thread on jeepforum where a guy with like 4 Jeeps rekeyed them to all run on 1 key. He had a bag of parts from the locksmith. I'll go there tomorrow.

Thanks buddy! I did go there today and he said they could order it, but he didn't want to because the photo didn't match my old cylinder. I just found it- it looks exactly like the one Autozone gave me. Probably the same manufacturer. Unfortunately, it has a completely different interface...

Finally got tired of my driver's door lock not working (2+ years now). I got the old one out without disconnecting any linkage (thankfully). I went to 4 chain stores in town, no one had it, Autozone got it in about 3 hours. When I got to pick it up, they were obviously not the same, but I...

Thanks for the photo and info. I went back out and looked at them. Yours look the ones on mine that settled into the manifold and are limited by the plastic body. I wiggled mine around and seated them back into the fuel rail. Then a small groove became visible at the base of the injector...

I'm putting the stockers back in. Here is a link to why these don't work as they should: http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92236 About a third of the way down the page. Now to find that fella who sells these and swears they are great....
