    Sputtering/misfire, P0302 code and low compression?

    Hey, guys. Just bought a 140k miles '98/99 WJ w/ 4.0L (see https://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1165164) sight unseen. Not many miles into the 500 mile trip home (half of which pulling a 4k lbs trailer) CEL comes on and a sporadic sputtering presents itself. The sputtering appear as...

    Will a 1998/99 WJ have the 0331 head?

    Hey, guys! Looking at buying a 4.0L WJ (a rare Limited-spec'd Laredo w/ part-time NP242) with 140k miles. Build date is 07.11.1998 (MY 1999), Texas delivery. Will this vehicle have the infamous 0331 casting head? I have been reading contradictory information about the very first WJs...

    Buying a '98 with tranny leak - potential pitfalls?

    Going to take a look at a '98 4.0 4dr (think it's a Limited) with auto/4wd tomorrow, and thought I would do some due diligence beforehand. Owner claims it has a tranny leak and (therefore) stopped driving it three weeks ago. I can only speculate as far as extent (of) and location of leaks...

    What tools are needed for water pump replacement?

    Like the title suggests? I have to borrow/buy everything needed. :bawl: Only thing I know for sure is 1/2" socket for the pulley/flange bolts and 13mm for belt tensioner bolts. (`96 4.0)

    How much end-play is acceptable on the output shaft of an AW4?

    I.e. the tail-end output shaft on a 2WD version?

    Strange RPM surging issue with BWD made TPS?

    Strange story: My OEM/old (defect) TPS makes the vehicle ('96 4.0) idle @ 950, but result in excessive RPM tranny shifts. I have now tried two (2) identical BWD sensors from O'Reilley's, and they both do the same: With the sensor connected, but unscrewed from the TB, the motor idles @ 950 RPMs...

    High idle, hesitancy and dying after replacing TPS? ('96)

    Doing a tune-up on a newly acquired '96 4.0 AW4/2WD. Got the P0122 code after pressure washing the motor, bought a new TPS along with spark plugs and air/oil/fuel filter. While installing the new TPS (a $52 BWD unit from O'Reilly's), I disconnected the upstream O2 sensor, IAC, TPS and a fourth...

    I believe they are factory issue late model ZJ rims? Anybody know the model name/designation? They look tits.

    Are XJ and ZJ shafts same length?

    C-clip 35. I don't see why they wouldn't be, right?

    Does my 35 have a cross-pin bolt?

    I understand it differs from year to year, does my eighty-eight non-C-clip have one? I think I wanna check and change mine, for reassurance.

    E85?

    '88 XJ, Renix 4.0L (cat-less, CAI, 2.5" cat-back), ~ 175K miles. We have E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline) on the pumps were I live (Oslo, Norway) at a very affordable price. I figured I could try to run 50/50 E85 and low-grade gasoline. 93 and 95 octane are my choices, this it would equate to...

    Door locking mechanism trouble?

    I have plain jane manual doors with the two rods inside them. One is for the latch mechanism and the other is for the door lock. Problem is, the clip that attaches the locking rod to the lever/button to lock/unlock the door keep popping off when pressure is applied to the "button". The rod...

    VIN locations?

    I'm aware of the tag in the windshield, atop the radiator beam and inside the passenger 'fender frame'? Are there more? Actually stamped #'s? Although it's kinda confidential, does anybody know of a complete list with the specific locations?

    What year is this XJ?

    I came about a 4-door XJ that was probably stolen and/or just left behind by its owner. It has some goodies that I could need, and I'm kinda curious what year it might be. It's either a late Renix or an early HO. I'm hoping the latter, so that it has the 7120 head.. 4.0/AW4/242, non-CAD D30...

    Who makes rocker armor that replaces the stock ones?

    I started patching my rockers together (rust), only to realize it would be tons easier and more practical to just cut them off and replace the whole thing with some square tube (and still have it look stock-ish). Are there any manufactures that offer such a rocker replacement kit?

    Too wide? Different mounting points?

    Changing freeze plugs?

    Had some coolant coming down from the back of the block. Initial thought was freeze plugs, and yes indeed, the one furthest back seems fairly corroded. Yikes. How do I pull out the old ones and avoid them dropping into the block? I assume I have to pull the exhaust and intake manifolds to get...

    Will removing cat result in erroneous signals to O2-sensor?

    Improved flow -> lower exhaust temps -> O2 sensor fuel compensation -> lower gas mileage? A workshop owner told me this.

    Clutch compatibility?

    http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/catalogframe.php#tab2 -> part # 381152 . Does this clutch work with my Peugeot BA10/5? And would it work with an AX-15 when I make the swap? Are AC Delco clutches known to be good?
