As far as the heat soak issue goes, I'm well aware of it and the heat insulators have been installed for a long time now. I do however, intend to deal with the cats since they are believed to contribute to the issue. My problem is not just rough starting, it's poor running as well to some...

My 01 XJ seems to be having an issue with heat, specifically long running times (over an hour) and hot weather. Some times I notice it can be very difficult to start after sitting in the sun for multiple hours. The other problem I have (the more frequent one) is that after it has been running...

Test your TPS. I had almost exactly the same symptoms when mine was bad just recently. If you replace either the CPS or TPS replace it with a mopar sensor.

Just smack the cats or the pipe below them with your hand or a rubber mallet, if they're anything like mine you'll hear them rattle no problem.

I'm didn't read the whole thread because its late and I'm going to bed right away but I'm still gonna throw this out there. Cali-emissions XJ? If so check the pre-cats. Had a similar sound to what you described, took a while to track it down but it just turned out to be the pre-cats rattling...

Wow, thanks for all the info guys, good to know how the connector works. For 10 bucks, I'll definitely be getting that tool as well.

Hey all, I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find an answer on this one. Does anyone know how the PCM pins come out of the wiring harness on an 01? Once you take the connector covers off, there is a blue tab that you have to pop in and then I'm assuming you just find the little tabs...

Ok thank you both. I will mess around with it this weekend and try both of those things. The washer may actually be chewed up. The first time I went to take off the belt the pulley was already loose (either from PO or bolt just backed itself off?) so it may have been spinning on an angle for...

I've been having a problem where my idler pulley won't sit straight (it sits on an odd angle and I believe that is what is making the chirping sound from under my hood when I give her some gas going uphill). It's a 2001 so the idler is also the belt tensioner. I believe this is where my...

With a 2000 model and low oil pressure I'd be taking a look at your cylinder head which is an 0331 head. They are known for cracking in between cylinders 3 and 4 because of a casting flaw. How does your oil look? Normal, or like a milkshake? Any gunk on the fill cap? Are you losing coolant...

Well that rules out the RTV then. I don't have a tap and die set and I'm not going to deal with cleaning it all out every time I change the fluid. I'll just try reusing the washer for now since it's not dripping even without it. If it starts to leak then it's a quick and easy fix anyway...

Great, thanks for the suggestions guys. I've been keeping an eye on it and it doesn't seem to be dripping at all so I will just leave it til monday and do another fluid change (I only got 5 quarts done yesterday and it's pretty dirty, although I've seen worse). As for the washer I'll figure out...

Sorry if this has been asked before but searching wasn't very helpful due to the fact that google has decided that gasket is a synonym for washer. :banghead: Anyway I just did a couple of drain and fills on my AW4; when I was reading how to do it I didn't see any mention of a washer and I...

That was the plan, sorry if I was confusing. I was going to pick up an HP30 and check that it's straight, then build it up over the winter and swap it in when the weather is decent again. Although, it might be a better idea to swap in a 44 if I'm going to go through all the effort of building...

I think I'll just leave it until I lift then Cottontail. The driver side tire isn't wearing much on the inside and it'll be fine through the winter with all the snow around here. @Talyn - That's what I thought, just wanted to confirm. Thanks. I still plan on looking for an HP30 to swap as...

Just picked the Jeep up. Alignment was out by a lot despite following the alignment procedure on go-jeep. The overall toe-in was set to 1/16, but the driver side was 19/32 and passenger side was -17/32. I'm confused why everyone does driveway alignments like this if they don't work? Or did I...

Cottontail - was yours stock when you installed the HP or did it have lift? I'd prefer not to smash up my exhaust. I was planning on buying an HP30 to build up anyway, originally planned to install at the same time as a lift but if I have to work my way around installing early then that's...

Alright I will book it in for that. Will a junkyard HP30 and matching driveshaft bolt right in if the axle does turn out to be shot? Just trying to figure out my options, it's already starting to cool off around here and I'd like to get this all done while the weather is still decent.

Unfortunately I do not have a spare axle lying around so I won't be removing the shafts. My dad is going for a bike trip with the owner of the shop this weekend so they will talk about it and probably get it in again next week. I was just hoping there was some way I could check into it from...

It's off enough that it's very noticeable just by looking at it. Passenger side tire is perfectly straight, drivers side leans in at the top quite a bit. I've had several people look at it and they all agree that it leans. I haven't noticed anything wrong with the axle other than what I...
