Didn't say you were messing with the intake and god knows what else. My vote now lies on a vac leak as well. They can sound like all three of my kids in one room at once.

On the non clip style how do you remove the axle to replace the seal. It doesn't budge. Pulled the 4 nuts on the back side of the shield at the brakes. That loosened the cover where I believe the seal to be but it doesn't come out. Read somewhere about a slide hammer and hydraulic presses for...

02 Grand Cherokee. 4.0. What is the rear axle on this. It looks like a 35 but when I pulled the dif cover it doesn't seem to have a c clip. Just by visual. I didn't try removing the rod in the middle of the spider gears. There was already a gap between the axle and the rod and I wasn't able to...

Loosen your belt and check for play in all pulleys. Spin them by hand (with the exception of the big round one.) See how they feel. Loosening your belt may not be enough. Might have to remove it all together... and forget about playing with the big one. It will laugh at your bare hands... and...

02 Grand with the 4.0. Pulling code P-0441 (evaporative emission control system incorrect purge flow). Anyone know how to correct this. Any trouble codes = inspection failure here in NH. Thanks in advance.

I picked up a gallon can of Hercules roof sealant to try. Haven't tried it yet but my brother has on his Wrangler. Went on a little messy but real sticky. I figure heat wise it's made for roofs where it will bake in the sun all day, so I bet it would stand up to some heat.

My wife's 02 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 liter is having a few issues. Every once in a while (almost daily) when she is cruising along or just trying to get up to speed she will step on the gas and will hardly go anywhere, like it wont downshift or something, and accelerates real slow. One of...

Go ahead and tighten as long as the belt is in good shape. Beware that an overtightened belt may lead to failure of other components in the pulley system. It will put undue stress on the bearings on items such as the alternator, a/c compressor, ps pump and water pump. Proper tensioning is...

I have a 94 XJ for parts in Milton, NH. 94- 4.0 with around 145,000 on it (siezed alternator) 5 speed manual transmission NP 231 transfer case Dana 35c rear Dana 30 front without the vacuum disconnect Front fenders appear good (I haven't taken the flares off to see how they are underneath and...

It also sounds like an auto resetting breaker but I don't know if there are those in these vehicles. If it only happens when the heater is on high and radio is on that you are drawing the most amps then. If there are bad connections or that breaker is getting weak then it (if indeed there is...

pick up a Haynes guide for your year and look in the electrical section. You will find schematics for the electrical. If you don't know how to read the schematics just ask here. most of it is straightforward with the wire colors labeled and there should be a chart in the beginning for what is...

I guess that all answers my question for swapping parts from a 94 to a 90. If I were to swap the engine from the 94 into the 90 am I looking at taking everything including the computer from the 94 and putting into the 90 or will the intake from the 90 fit onto the block and head of the 94...

I have a donor 94 XJ here in NH but my butts not going out in 30 degrees to pull it out. Bring some of that California weather with you.

They recommend replacing the straps whenever you remove them. They are only a few dollars at most auto parts stores. I believe they say that because they may stretch out over time and no longer hold the caps tight allowing them to oscillate in place. If you do re-use them check to make sure the...

the electric fan is activated by a temperature sensor. It may be staying on so long because either the sensor is bad, or the engine is too hot when shut down and it turns on because because the sensor is doing it's job. If the sensor is faulty it may be turning on when it's not supposed to...
