Well, of course the next day, I couldn't get it to happen again. I did a 50 mile round trip to run an errand and it didn't hesitate at all. I'm wondering if I got a hold of some contaminated gasoline, because I got a few gallons the morning of my troubles. Oh well. Let's wait and see... Thanks.

On the last half of a 170 mile round trip the other day, my 96 XJ 4.0 5 speed started to hesitate (and almost stall) while trying to accelerate at highway speeds. It also seemed worse while trying to do that going uphill. That's not a good thing to happen in Atlanta traffic! It idles fines and...

OK. Those coil spring compressors are scary as hell! They shifted as I was trying to get the spring out and smashed my thumb! I'll proceed the old fashioned way even if it means she'll be out of commision for a few days. No more boo-boos!:doh: BTW, Gooooooooooo Dawgs!! Sic 'em!! (UGA all the...

Good advice from all. That's why I love this forum. By the way, I did "rent" coil spring compressors, but when I got home, they were the wrong type! My whole problem has been the dang bolts that won't budge!

I'm a cheapskate and am installing a 2 inch lift on my '96 XJ using the polyurethane spacers up front and add a leaf in the rear. (I'm rolling on 235's, so it shouldn't look too stupid!) Anyway, what is the easiest way to get the coil springs off? All the stuff I've read say remove this, that...

How much cheaper can it be?? 3 or 5 cents a gallon? If it keeps money out of the hands of someone who calls America a "menace to the world", wouldn't it be worth the extra buck or two? I have two kids in daycare. Believe me, I can't afford to be choosey about a lot of things (I drive a $1700...

Hallelujah! Thanks to all of you. I got it figured out and am now basking in the glorious chilly goodness that is air conditioning (with no screaming banshees)! How much money you figure I saved myself?

If where you live is anything like around here, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a gas station. Surely you have options. Hugo Chavez is a dictator who opresses his people. CITGO is owned by the Venezuelan government. Therefore, if you buy CITGO gas, you're contributing to his leftist...

Excellent. Thank you sir. It's too dark out to try it now, but I'll let you know how it goes when I try it tomorrow.

No matter how high gas prices get, I'd rather walk than buy CITGO gas! Check it out http://citgoboycott.org/ Don't line the pockets of a fascist!

I know y'all are tired of boring questions like this, but I'm broke and can't afford to get my XJ serviced right now, so give me a hand if you can. I have a 96 4.0L 5 speed w/160k miles. (I ONLY PAID $1700 FOR!!). She's in great shape except for one thing: the A/C works fine and dandy, but for...

First post here. I just bought a '96 Cherokee Classic off a guy for $1700. Believe it or not, it's not in too terrible shape. It's got 154k miles on it's 4.0 L I-6, well maintained... The body however, needs some work. He rear ended someone, so I'm replacing various body parts. I'm thinking of...
