Cam yes, the original one blew up (magnet tore to shreds), a few months ago. New one worked fine, still should be but may have trouble (have removed & inspected it several times). Also going to check the crank position sensor, it's possible it is malfunctioning (much more a royal pain).
It...
The cruise control problem began around the same time, it worked fine until 3-4 weeks agop & now doesn't work at all, but the wires all appear to be OK.
Oh and the factory repair manual says to replace the PCM next, but that is confirmed to work....also we tried a known good PCM from a 97 TJ 4cyl to see if his scanner would talk to it, but to no avail....
This is gonna be a bit long-winded but I dunno what else to check:
2000 XJ Classic
4.6L stroker
stock ignition
~24lb injectors, fuel system otherwise stock (brand new fuel rail too)
800CCA battery, ~200A Ohio Generator alternator (both >1yr)
HESCO high-flow water pump & 3-core radiator, stock...
I think if I ever go forward with a manual, it's gonna be a built AX-15. It is capable of golding the power I'm making, and would be the easieat swap.
However, my AW-4 is, for now, holding the power well enough, so I'm gonna stick with that for a bit....hopefully make it through the winter!!! :p
.........I really really really really *REALLY* (is that enough "really"s?) want to drop a manual in. UNFORTUNATELY - it's not something I can consider with this build. Maybe after I'm a rock star, I'll build a turbo semi-street Jeep with a built five-speed.
I really appreciate the link...
Do you have a link to the 6-speed thread?? I think a 6-speed tranny would be gnarly behind this engine :) (and probably unnecessary due to the width of the torque curve - but hey it'd be fun)
I have a single dual-in/dual-out muffler that the muffler shop claims functions as an X-pipe.....it's still louder than ****.....I still have to get a tranny for it, my AW4 has 210k+ miles on it....my buddy who built the thing for me said I may have to go to Toronto to find somebody to build a...
Mine is being built as a daily driver, with occasional off-road adventures. Plus I expect lots of snow so driveability in the winter was also a concern at the forefront of my mind.
It'll be a bit....still more work to do first that may influence the tuning.....
I'd still recommend properly tuned duals w/ an X pipe for anybody. As that other thread you posted seems to lean toward, it's all about proper setup of the engine & the exhaust. No such thing as "good backpressure".
Ummm....no, they're 2.25"......but anyway the duals made sense for me becauze I went nuts w/ this engine. I've yet to have this thing dyno'd but it pulls better than a friend's '91 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 w/ under 60k all-original miles on it. MUCH better. And that's a 300HP car in stock trim. I...
That's where the problem is - I do not..... :) The closest I come is Facebook but I don't think anybody would be able to view them who is not on my friends list.....
