I narrowed it down to a bad IPR valve. Part comes Friday.

So crank no start?

 

[Stang5lgt]

It starts but dies as soon as the oil is warmed up. I had a diesel mech tell me he is banking on the IPR.

Intake is a tight fit. Might have to beat the pinch seam in a little. If you look at the second pic there is blue line on front of the intake, that is the mark when I put straight edge across the front. Two inches to top of the intake. I checked the hood it will be close. I think I will have a half inch of clearance. This baby is a tight fit.

Soooooooo close! :thumbup:

Stupid XJ's and their tiny engine compartments.

I think I'm going to stick with the chrysler parts on my engine swap.

This should fit

Good work on the rig, keep it coming.

You thought you had problem rolling your Jeep before. :rof:

 

[DutchVDub]

Yeah, but now it'll be flipping over backwards from doing wheelies.

Besides, I need something to spin the Rockwells and 44" swampers.

 

[Stang5lgt]

WHOOHOOOOO!!!!!! Super Duty lives! Now the XJ can be a trailer queen when I get it done.

So I worked on remodeling my basement Yesterday since it was so cold. But I did find this wiring diagram. It will come in handy.

Wiring showed up today. Should be back to work on this thing end of the week. We are so busy at work I have not had time to work on it.

So those headers I bought off Ebay that were the wrong ones I sold them locally for 10 bucks less then I paid for them. I get a email from Ebay today cause I filed a complaint. They are giving me a full refund and I do not have to return the headers. Free money sweet!!!!

 

[DutchVDub]
