Well, i got some more info from the tech today. He said that my hydrocarbons were just a little high, and that an oil change or some fuel cleaner should fix that. But he said that my CO was through the roof. What does that tell you? O2 sensor? EGR? I'm clueless.....

Had the XJ inspected a few weeks back and I passed the sniffer and everything else except the exhaust manifold had a crack. I had that welded, and re-installed it with a new gasket. Now the manifold passes but they said i dont pass the sniffer now. Last time i took it in on a warmed-up...

check to see if your cruise control switch has gone bad. That particular design of switch on the turn signal stalk is notorious for going bad. The best way I can tell you to find the connector under the dash for the cruise control buttons is to yank on the wire while looking under the dash and...

the CPS is the crankshaft position sensor, and it's located on the drivers side of the bellhousing behind the engine. It's about the hardest thing on an XJ to get to. It is positioned so that it points to the flywheel and it detects special gaps in the flywheel that tell the computer...

check for vacuum leaks anywhere on the intake manifold, as well. That tends to mess things up.

What if I just add liquid till the pressure reading on the low side is good? I think i might have too much oil in it, now. I'll have to see what to do about that...any way to fix that besides opening the system? I have a vacuum pump that i can purge the system with if I have to, but I'd...

migrated? How so? I replaced it about 2 years ago.

here's your sign just kidding :)

you're refering to the EGR solonoid. It should have vacuum lines going in and out, and the out line should go to your EGR valve on the side of the intake manifold. The MAP sensor is on the firewall behind the throttle body. Look on the left side of the tb and trace a vacuum line to the...

actually, i figured it out. Well, kinda. The compressor isnt making noises at all. The belt where it runs below it is vibrating side to side. It only does that when the a/c compressor is turned on. The belt it a little tighter than it should be, but the problem still exists. It vibrates...

the idea came from this That was done on an 88 XJ. I have an 87, so it should work whatever it is. hehe...sinister....i can do sinister.... ;)

BTTT...anyone know?

So yesterday I decided to re-charge my a/c system. It was so low that the compressor wouldnt cycle. So I put in a 13 oz. can of r134a with leak sealer. Then it started making all these noises. So I thought maybe it needed some oil. In went a 8 oz. oil charge. Still noise and a good bit of...

yeah, i've got the same problem. Exactly where do I start looking for this vacuum leak? I can't really hear anything inside the dash, then again, i havent really been listening there. Well....still....any idea on where to start with this problem? It's the same, with the a/c blower cutting...

Someone had mentioned a TSB about an idle air controller modification that would keep it from closing all the way. It helps keep the jeep from stalling out (everything else on the jeep is ok, but the idle is still low enough to stall when the RPMs drop suddenly and the engine is cold). Anyone...

If my TC is locking at 10 mph, i think i have a problem anyways. I always thought it only locked at highway speeds. Anyways....the problem is much improved now. However I can still stall it out when it's cold and i try to rev. The idle is a little low for my liking. I think i'm going to...

Ok, so i did some work today on trying to figure it out. It is not the EGR valve or the EGR solonoid. I did notice that my knock sensor was demolished by something....so that might be it. Anyone know what happens without a knock sensor? Other than that...the MAP sensor seems to be fine, I...

I have the exact same problem. I have very bad hesitation to the point of stalling when the engine is cold. Then sometimes, when i'm under 10 miles per hour and let off the gas, it dies without even a stutter. I think it's the exact same problem. I replaced my EGR valve not that long ago, my...

Ok, so i'm not as good at diagnosing problems as i thought i was. Turns out that my rear wheel lugs were a little loose and that's what was causing the noise that I thought was the wheel bearings. So yeah...at least that saves a whole lot of time and money!! I just wish all my jeep problems...

Thanks! Wish me luck, i'm heading for the driveway now....
