Leaking throttle body gasket or butterfly shaft seals?

Had a similar problem with my 2000 XJ and found the ecm connector was loose and had gotten moisture in it causing a short across the pins.

Bolt and weld! After inner and outer steering gear frame stiffeners bolted and welded!

I think a moderator may want to move this thread to modified tech.

My notes in the 2000 FSM schematic indicates that the OEM white wire for solenoid A control (TCM pin 12) goes to trans valve body solenoid 2. Confusing right! I designed this back in 2009 and don’t remember how I discovered that. The custom blue wire is spliced into VT/WT wire (1-2 gear) from...

Get it registered anywhere in Colorado but Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties, and in portions of Adams, Arapahoe, Larimer, and Weld counties.

Distributor pick up coil? I don’t know, maybe, maybe not?

My 2000 Xj did the same thing years ago. I changed the crank PS, was not the problem. I eventually found a bad connection at the cam PS, my fault, repaired connection-fixed.

I use the lowest price of dex/merc. I tried mobile 1 full synthetic years ago and found that it caused torque converter slippage confirmed by lower stall speed. After flushing system stall returned to normal. 2200 rpm’s if memory serves.

Wow 10000 RPM!!! NASCAR Cup engine’s don’t run that high”

This is what sparked my curiosity about the fusible link. The highest amp load we would have is from our winch’s, during a hard pull it would be four to five hundred amps. I suppose it would depend on the condition of the battery and how many you had. I run two optimas. Thought’s?

Get a pse motor sports and don’t look back!

Most steering shaft ujoints are staked or welded in place at the yoke/cups.

Toyo M/T’s. Nice traction and fairly quiet on the highway.
