After replacing my head, I got all kinds of hesitation and stalling. It would happen mostly at stoplights. I would have to keep my foot on the gas to keep the engine running. I tested all the sensors and all were within spec. Turns out, it was a problem with the EGR valve. After unhooking...

Just take the bulbs out...

My 89 had a Torx head screw holding the cylinder in. Once it comes out, the cylinder will slide out...

Mine was cracked and unrepairable so I got one from AutoZone. $200 (with core exchange, even a cracked core) and I have had no problems since...

I just had my XJ in last week for the ABS, O2 sensor and shifter interlock recalls. The shifter and O2 sensor were fixed in a day and they had to overnight a new actuator motor but it was fixed early the next day. Less than 2 days total and I have brakes again! The parts are out there, just...

Mine is a 1989 Limited.

Ok, so someone stole my radio out of my 89 Limited and he was nice enough to cut the wires instead of unplugging the harness. Anybody know what colors go to which speaker? Or have any ideas as to how I can match them up? The wire colors at the speakers are different than the ones coming out...

On my 89 XJ, the cruise control has never worked. Someone has cut the connector off the wires coming from the turn signal lever. Where does the connector go? I have the CC module out and cannot see any place where it would connect. I cannot figure out where the wires are supposed to go. Any...

Anybody know where the wires in the black casing coming from the steering column plug into on an 89? Mine has had the end cut off and for the life of me, I can't find the other end of it. Thanks...

My 89 had a cracked valve so I took the head off and took it to a machine shop. They cleaned the head and found that the seat was cracked. They tried to replace the seat but the head kept cracking. (This all happened after a major overheat due to a cracked bottle). I ended up buying a new...

I had a similar problem on my 89. Had a bad miss at idle but would run good at highway speed. It would also backfire intermittently. After a compression test, I found that the #6 cylinder had no compression. I did the oil squirt test and still nothing. I removed the head and found a large...

2 cranks is good, even for a new vehicle. I have a 99 Ford that cranks 3 or 4 times before it starts, everytime. Not sure why you think you have a problem...

Where is the C101 connnector on an ABS XJ? There is nothing above the master cylinder on the firewall...
