Hey I have a question for anybody that could help me?!
I have a 98 XJ with most the drivetrain stock...When I'm running at an idle the motor begins to make a strange knocking sound...it seems to be coming from the lower end of the motor and does not knock in time with the motors RPM's...?..As soon as I give it ANY throttle the knock goes away and the motor runs smooth as ever....Also when I shut it off the motor makes a last few clunking sounds. I'm planning on pulling the oil pan to see if i can notice anything but im not very mechanical !!
Has any one had a similar problem or offer any advise?!!
