heres the scoop- first off, my wife drives the xj to work and back everyday and i drive her car. she drives 2 miles i drive 15miles. gas prices are evil and saves wear on my tires. heres the problem- she said the oil pressure gauge would drop to 0 and the temp guage would max out at the same time at a stop but once driving go back to normal immediately. this went on for a few days. then one day on route to work she said every time it came to a stop it would die. she took off from the stop and it started making "clunking" noises from the motor 1 block from work. she pulled in and it was "smoking" from under the hood. after i got off work i went to the jeep, it started normal and drove it 1 mile to my moms house.no smoke but every time i let off the gas it would die. i'm not sure what to think. head gasket? i havnt had a chance to drain the oil yet but no chocolat milk on the dipstick but very little on the oil cap. im kinda dumb so any help is appreciated!
btw- i did search and read for a couple hours
thanks, milo
