I have replaced the plugs twice as been dealing with this issue for awhile now and have reset the ecu many times with the DRB scan tool. Last week it ran perfect w/o acting up for 5-6 days in a row, it was so nice to have my jeep back, good MPG, idle and no issues.. I just dont think is the...

I have a 2000 XJ with 215,000 miles only 58,000 on reman longblock. Intermittenly the jeep on a cold start up will idle poorly and almost want to stall. I can always tell when its going to start happen by the sound of the exhaust. Usually if I rev the engine up it will clear and be ok for...

To obtain the torque needed to crush the sleeve you will need to use a flange tool to hold the yoke and then tighten from there. When you set the tension (bearing preload) you crush the sleave to obtain the correct rotating tension. Usually use a neddle style torgue wrench (inch lbs) and make...

When your guages drop out or flatline it is caused by the CCD Bus to get interupted. The CCD bus is the wires used to communicate between the modules, like PCM, to cluster, door module and air bag. The clockspring was a common issue. If you look in a service manual and find the BUS + and Bus...

I hooked up my DRBII and the coolant temps (as inputs) are right on the money... Still have to pull the fuel rail and see if is leaking. The rough running on stat up after sitting really has me puzzled. If the injector doesnt leak I will be really stumped. Has anyone heard of any issues with...

Stock harness will work fine.. I did the same on my unit 200XJ and no issues...

I have experienced (2) XJ's with Death Wobble and gone through alot of the same issues as you! I am not certain what year you are playing with?? but all years are suspect to this... Chrysler did have a few years around 1998-2000 where the durometer of the control arm bushings were alot of the...

Going off your specs, leaky injector might not be it...! My test this afternoon was very similar to yours!! :( Now I am thinking, I will pull the rail and energize and look for any leaking. Should not be to bad to pull the rail.... My MPG is same as yours..what are you running for gear...

Is the coolant temp sensor in t-stat housing the one for ECU inputs correct? the one at the back of the cyl head is for the guage??

I have a 2000XJ with the AW4. A few weeks ago I was towing a 2place aluminum snowmobile trailer and 2 sleds. I was cruising around 65-70mph when I noticed smoke coming from teh trailer, pulled over as I thought I had burned up a bearing. Got out of the vehicle and noticed trans fluid...

The vehicle had sat all night and was nice and cold, hooked up a guage and with key on had 43-45psi.. Upon start up went to 49psi... Long crank time and stumble was present. Reved up engine and cleared it out. Left guage on after shutting vehicle off and pressure dropped, was @ 23psi after...

Thanx.. I never thought about the injectors once because they motor ran good after was started. There is 112,000 miles on the jeep now. Do you think I can put a pressure guage on the rail and observe a drop after shut off? The Jeep has the coil on plug so I am trying to think how I can...

First time thread. I have a 2000 XJ and it has a longer than normal crank time for a 4.0L. Its followed by rough running for a few seconds, usually if I put my foot in the throttle and rev it up, it clears out and will be fine. I have owner many 4.0L and familiar with crank times with thses...
