Hi all. I'm out of town on the start of a 2.5 month trip. Tonight I was driving home. At a stop, I pushed the clutch in on my '95 4.0 and heard something pop/snap. At the stop, I stalled. The clutch seems to be fully engaged all the time, and the pedal doesn't come very far off the floor...

1995 4.0 with 233k highway miles. Oil changed every 3k for most of its life. Power up a particular hill near me has been the same for the last 10 years. It gets about 21 mpg and has for a long time. It has had a slight miss at idle, and has for years, but it baaaarrely squeaked by emissions...

It seems like, with a 9.2:1 compression ratio, it'd be 9.2x atmospheric pressure. 9.2 * 14.7 psi = 135. That seems low though. Someone on another thread said 175 psi, but wouldn't that require a much higher compression ratio? How would you get more than 9.2x of whatever you have to work with...

Vehicle: 1995 XJ Sport, 4.0, 5-spd, 230k miles Gets low 20's on the highway and runs smooth At idle, there's a slight miss and you can smell it's running rich. Anyway, the miss has been there for ages, and emissions get a little worse every year. We got it to squeak by by revving it up to 1100...

I have a 95 4.0 Sport with 202,000 miles. Recently, it has a little stumble at idle. It doesn't feel like it's going to die or anything...just a little rough, and you can see the engine move. You can also here a little "poof" sound at the tailpipe about once per second or so, and smell a...

I have a '95 XJ Sport 5-spd with 200k. I just got new tires- Khuma Road Venture AT, 225 75R15. I had 235 BFG KO's before and they were totally cupped and shot- they shook like hell. My shocks have 4k on them. I figured the new tires would fix the vibes, and they did dramatically reduce them...

My rear brakes had been pulsing for a long time, and gradually were getting worse. It wasn't a pulsation in the pedal, but in the braking force. Every revolution, braking force would spike a little. This made the rear wheels lock up very easily. I hate working on drums, and wasn't sure of...

I was pulling stuff off to get ready to do my rocker cover gasket. There's a wire harness channel, plastic, between the fuel rail and and rocker cover. It's mounted to the studs sticking up from the rocker cover. I tried pulling, and prying up with a screw driver, and it won't budge.

Hi guys....I'm trying to decide weather to keep or sell my jeep. It has quite a leak at the front of the engine- probably front main seal. It looks like I can replace it without removing the radiator like Haynes says. Do I really need a special tool to pull the harmonic balancer? Is their...

Hi guys. I have a 1995 Sport 5-spd, all stock except headlights (H4's + harness). My mom got it new, I got it in 2000 at 100k miles, and have driven it since, now at 196k. It has been very reliable- I've just had to replace a few water pumps, a radiator, a starter, oil-filter O-rings, a cat...

My 235/75 R15 BFGoodrich T/A KO's on my '95 XJ sport are getting pretty old. I've also never been exactly happy with them in the snow (roads with a hard-packed layer of snow and ice on them) My Jeep now is pretty much just used on ski trips/snow days in the winter, and on a few mountain bike...

Hi guys. 95/sport/5-speed/no ABS. My rear brakes have pulsed for a long time. It isn't felt in the pedal or wheel, but in the rate of deceleration. Once per revolution, your head gets thrown forward a little. It's only noticable at low speeds. When it's slick out, these spikes in brake...

Hi guys. For about the past 6 months, the hinge on my driver's-side door has gotten very creaky, squeaky, and rough feeling. I've used graphite and several kinds of penetrating oil. I'm rust-free. Any ideas what could be causing this? Worn out pins? Is there some kind of bushing I could...

Hey guys. I haven't been here in a long time. I've had non-locatable small oil leaks for ages. I just discovered the rear CCV orifice being clogged may be the problem, but I can't get it out. I tried doing the twist & pull as hard as I can. It came up a few mm, but wouldn't release. Then I...

Hi guys. I just moved from costal CA to Albuquerque. The past few days, my engine has been turning over slower and slower every time I start it. The battery was about 4 years old, and pretty corroded. I cleaned the terminals and then it wouldn't turn over at all. So, I put a new battery in...

Hi guys. I was wondering if it is safe to use coleman fuel in my Jeep. I have about 1/2 gallon that is a few of years old, and I'm moving soon. The movers won't take it, and I'm not sure of how to dispose of it. I know white gas is similar to gasoline, so I was wondering if it was safe to...

Hi guys. I have a 95 sport. On the bottom edge of the car, from front flare, along the doors, back to the liftgate, it has this textured plastic trim piece with red and black stripes on it. Several of these pieces are beginning to peel off. Is there anything special I should do, or any...

Hi guys. Well, I just noticed the paint starting to bubble up in a couple of places right above my windshield. The windshield is only about a year old, and in that year it hasn't rained much until the last month. I'm thinking the windshield guy must have scratched something, and water got...

Hi guys. A few weeks ago, driving to work, I noticed my tack rapidly jittering up and down over a ~250 rpm range. I have 152k on the stock clutch, so I was like "S**T!!". However, the engine didn't sound or feel like it was changing speed, so I don't think it was a clutch. It has been fine...

Hi guys. I just got new tires on base (I'm in the military). The shop doesn't do alignments though. Should I go and get a 2 wheel or a 4 wheel alignment?
