No. I live in Prescott. I'm aware that many times in the summer, BHC is the hottest place in the country. Hopefully you're not in the tar roofing business!!

 

[bluejeepkid]

haha no im not, but that doesnt mean i havent worked my fair share in the heat.
i used to drywall and insulate houses...that was fun this time of year. now thankfully i work in A/C.
i know prescott gets pretty warm too

 

[cruiser54]

It gets warm, but always cools off as soon as the sun goes down.

i know the weather channel says differently but, at midnight lastnight it was 90 at my work.

Add a set of 5-90's cables and see how much better it starts.

My friend just bought an 89 MJ and has this EXACT problem. What did you have to do to fix it?

 

[cruiser54]

First off, verify the engine to trans bolts are all there and tight.

 

[dozer_xj]

I did read the thread.... I guess I ment to as what the OP had to do to get his fixed .
So far things to check:
Bell housing bolts
Wiring harness on back of motor
grounds
motor mounts

 

[cruiser54]

And make sure the CPS harness isn't getting pinched or burned on the exhaust manifold.

i didnt do anything to fix it. some other things have come up. ive been working alot, like 20-30 hours overtime and i just havent had time to dick around with it.
