well i do not exactly have the answer to your question but i can tell you that me and my girlfriend have a '96 Xj that has been doing the same exact thing that yours is doing for a while now. I changed the sender when this first started happening and it did'nt change a thing. Its been about 8...

hmm, yeah i just figured that out last nite, i replaced the cylinder with a new one and key, still misfires. i picked up new cap/rotor, plugs and wires, and some fresh oil. we'll see if anything clears up. it does'nt appear to have any vacuum leaks through visual inspection and the fact that...

hey guys, i just picked up an '89 Xj sport 2door last week, it did'nt come with a key and i had to drive it home that nite so i broke part the key cylinder in the column with a hammer and screw driver, pulled it out in pieces and grab the rod in there to start it now temporarily. Problem is...

Hey guys, once again i need help. the patient - '96 Xj Country 4.0, aw4, 242. 158,xxx miles on her. this is my girls daily driver, about two months ago her oil pressure gauge starting reading all whacky, it would just constantly bounce around from 10-80 down to 20, up to 70, just constant...

picked up the jeep tonite after work, got it fired right up after a little bit of finesse, lol. i jammed a screw driver into the key hole and it slit the lock cylinder and broke some of the tumblers, i was able to pretty much take the cylinder out in pieces after a couple more hits eventually...

yeah, thats exactly more what i was looking for is do i have to take the wheel off to take the plastics off the column and expose the cylinder, i plan on replacing the cylinder after i get it to work, so i'll just do the screw driver trick, i plan on going to the kids house after work tomorrow...

yeah if they are that cheap i will probrably just get a new one then, i thought they were more. and yes i will be back, i've been popping up on and off for years on here, i love this site, i used to be more of a regular back before everything got wiped out years ago and the original site. thanx...

damn you guys respond fast, sorry to sound so ignorant but when you break it you basically just jam a screwdriver in there and force it to turn no?

lol, thats funny you say dire straights because thats who i'm listening to right now as i read your post, anyhow yeah i plan on breaking the ignition because i'm just gonna get a new one and keys out of the bone yard but i'm basically asking after i smash the ignition, how do i start it, what...

hey guys, my buddy has an '89 2 door 5sp 4.0 Xj, he really needs it gone, the driveline runs great and everything but he lost the key for it so technically it does'nt run. He is willing to let it go to me for $300 cash, i know, dirt dirt cheap, he still has the jeep registered and insured with...

do you still have any of the poly spacers?? do you have paypal?

damn i have'nt been on here in a long time, anyhow back when i had my '91 Xj i made a successful patch that lasted a couple years using this stuff i got from a hardware store, some sort of 1/2 epoxy, 1/2 cement, 1/2 jb weld looking stuff i think it was called furnace cement, not 100% sure but i...

yeah i'm still a bit uncertain about the placement of the strut and spring. for reference yesterday i took a look at the brakes on my '96 country which is an identical set up to my buddys '91 and on my jeep the strut contacted both shoes, not just the parking lever and my brakes seem to be...

hmm, thats a damn good idea, i gotta tell him to take the shoes off and check that. thanx.

that diagram is great, i was looking at it and i noticed something. the strut and spring is only supposed to contact the front shoe correct? he has it set up so one end contacts the front shoe but the other side goes over both the shoe and the parking lever. is this incorrect? his strut also...

well i know for a fact its a dana 35 and thats what he ordered the parts for, as for the drums i'm not sure he diamater of them but they are the same diameter as the old ones he took off. the shoes are sitting correctly at all pivot points, they fit very nice and snug but the dang drum just...

hey, a buddy of mine just picked up a '91 laredo, the rear brakes needed to be done and the lines were wasted so he went ahead and replaced everything, i mean everything, the shoes, drums, new spring kit and self adjusters, new wheel cylinders, new rubber brake line, new hard lines all the way...

i do these new nys inspections pretty frequently at the body shop i'm and i get symptoms like that often, catalyst not ready, egr not ready, o2 sensor not ready blah blah blah, usually we tell the customer to go drive it for 20-30 minutes or 20 miles and come back and it usually passes the...

hey whats up, i'm in orange county, i live in greenwood lake with my girlfriend and we don't know of any trails around here really, well legal ones anyway. soon as i get some skid plates on our stocker i'd love to go wheelin. eric

hey, around here there are no legal ways to off-road, i live in the woods but i can't even use them, i don't know why cause no one else does so its just a waste in my opinion. but anyway i'm about 10 minutes from the jersey border located in orange county NY. anyone know of any trails around...
