    Catt clogged

    How do you know it's clogged? One would think you would get a CEL from the downstream O2 sensor if it is.

    Rear brakes thread fitting on/near brake master cylinder

    I saw this tool reviewed on Eric the Car Guy. Hard to justify the price, unless you have a shop, but will make bubble flares: http://www.eastwood.com/professional-brake-tubing-flaring-tool.html

    Pop noise when I stop

    I had three Broncos that had problems with the slip yoke binding. One way to tell is when you brake semi-hard and the back end comes down after a full stop you'll hear and feel a pop. Ford started coating the splines with Teflon, it worked for a while but would come back. I keep mine clean and...

    Passenger Door Window Switch Troubleshooting

    I need some help zeroing in on a problem with my passenger window not working. Yesterday the wife and I were out and her window would not go back up either with her switch or mine (driver master). I tried the child safety switch on and off. We had to drive home with the window all the way...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Testing

    Thanks, after a tuneup I was playing with my scanner checking fuel trim and O2 sensors and since everything looked OK I wondered if maybe the CTS was out of range I might get a boost in MPG; no big deal though, like you say I'll have a known good spare in my toolbox.

    Replacing AC Compressor what else

    Do a search on removing the shim(s) in the clutch, this may be all you need to do since it's blowing cold.

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Testing

    Since my XJ has over 140K I thought I would replace my coolant temp sensor and in the process do a head to head test with a NAPA Echlin premium sensor. I'd like some input regarding the numbers. The Jeep runs fine, except for crappy gas mileage. I haven't driven it yet because my steep...

    Axle shaft seal leaks again... wtf?

    I used NAPA seals for my D30. When I install oil seals and they have a double lip I always pack grease between the lips because when you slide the shaft in it wipes most of the grease off the shaft. I cleaned my tubes with a rag soaked with mineral spirits tied to a rope and me and my helped...

    99 XJ 4.0L: Loss of power at low rpms?

    Last year I had a gradual loss of power and MPG. I didn't think of calipers sticking/dragging because there was no pulling on braking. After a lot of trouble shooting it turned out that both calipers were dragging equally. I had deep grooves in the knuckles where the pads rest. I welded them...

    HORRIBLE MPG...help.

    Does your rig with California emissions have a evap canister on the firewall? They're supposed to pull fumes from the tank and add it to the intake to be burned. I'm wondering if it's pulling liquid gas and dumping it into the intake. I would think there is some kind of check valve to prevent...

    A/C System Troubleshooting - Blows Cold then Hot. Pressure Sensors, Comp Clutch etc

    It sounds like what you're describing is Evaporator Freeze Up. Ice forms on the evaporator which prevents air flow, shutting down the vehicle allows the ice to melt and the system works again until it freezes again. My '97 FSM states that the compressor should engage/disengage no more than...
