I noticed this week while driving that a faint most of smoke had started to come out of my steering column cover. I had the climate control set to kax a/c and the blower on high. Voltage was at 12.6V so I looked at the wiring connector that connects to the ignition switch and the red wire was...

I have a 96 Cherokee SE that kept blowing the 15amp Asd fuse in the PDC under the hood. It tripped the CEL light. It came up with codes for A/C Relay Circuit, EVAP purge solenoid and radiator fan relay. I checked all fuses under the hood and in the driver's compartment, traced wiring and found...

I dont think it was a band aid, they drilled the whole in the thermostat to release the pressure in the cooling system and burp the air out. Most thermostats like Stant & Motorad come with a valve that opens and allows pressure to bypass the stat to get the air out. This thermostat in the truck...

I literally just did this last week on my 96 sport. I ended up removing the valve cover to gain the clearance i needed to get a deep socket in there. I was glad I did as I checked lash and torque on the rockers and 3 of them were at 15 ft lbs. Any who, my sensor did go in on an angle, also...

Thank You for the info! I ended up drilling out the bolt hole, using a grade 10 bolt, nut and lock washer and torqued it all in there and so far its been a couple weeks with no noise. The bushing in the track bar looks good so ! didn't replace it.

My primary 96 XJ has had plenty of issues with the track bar thunking or popping when your turning. Does it any time you make a turn while moving or sitting still. Its been replaced twice with a Moog DS1235. My XJ has no lift. I can actually see the track bar move a slight bit where the bolt...

Good to know 75SV1, thanks for letting me know. I figured it would fit but didn't want to assume and end up melting wiring.

I seen the Mean Green alternator and just didn't want to spend $300+ on it.

I should have mentioned I did that previously before the alternator and battery swap. The cables had all seen better days so I started with that and then upgraded to a 35 series Optima Red Top.

I've been doing a bit of research for a while now on getting a better alternator in my two XJ's. With a small Amp, blower motor and or headlights on the voltage dips below 13.0v and it just doesn't sit right with me. I experimented with a 120amp from a 96 grand cherokee and the fit seemed just...

SOLVED. Fuel Pump and pressure regulator were the culprits. Fuel pump would start to loose pressure after the vehicle was running for 30-45 minutes. 96 was the odd year that you can't find the complete fuel pump assembly for so I purchased the pump itself that used the stock connector. I cha...

I have another 96 XJ. Ill swap the computer tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed.

@jeep ride so it was your computer that ended up being the issue, not the Crank Position Sensor?

Or possibly compression difference. I dont have a compression tester that I can screw into the #1 cylinder.

Well, I spoke too soon. We are just coming up on 200 miles and she sputtered out again and lost about 95% of throttling ability. You can slightly feather the gas pedal and get it to crawl but until it cools down, she's barely drivable. I did get another Spectra distributor CH15 is the part # and...

The new distributor that I purchased from O'Reilly's was defective right out of the box. I happened to have another fromnl a different 4.0L and the jeep fired up. So far, 50 miles round trip and no loss of power or inability to rev. Seems like a regular old spunky 192k 4.0. It does rev a bit...

I haven't finished everything I wanted to do today with it but I have replaced the TPS, MAP, ignition coil, plugs, distributor, cap, rotor wires and plugs. Plugs were spanked but dry. Theynl weren kind of sun colored, white mixed with orange. Two had cracked porcelain. I just finished up the...

I followed the wiring loom for the front 02 sensor from the connector straight up to where I enters the bulk of the electrical wiring behind the power steering pump. I opened the loom, non of the wires appear pinched or burned. The rear 02 was the same look with no visible issues withnthe...

I just picked up a second 96 Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0L & its having issues with reving and accelerating once warmed up. Tonight, its about 50 degrees and I changed both O2's, cleaned the IAC valve, throttle body and replaced the throttle body gasket. I took it for about a 15 mile drive. First...
