Idle drops when stopping. Recent rebuild on the carb. Idle drops down to 200-300 and sometimes stalls all together when stopping. I have ensured the idle tubes are clean and the hole size is .032" and the idle still drops when stoppping. Need to give the gas pedal a shot before motor will...

Hi Need some help with fixing " overheating " problems Have a 88 YJ with 4.2 I6 For a while now I noticed that when we hit triple digits the temp gauge is on 210 while driving and slowly creeps up to the next line (230F ?) while de-celerating and idling @ traffic lights.

I thought I read somewere that there were two transfer case possibilities in the 88 YJ, 231 and ? 242 maybe, anyone know for sure?

My blower only works on high. The other speeds don't work. I have been told it is the blower motor resistor (pack). Mine only has two coils on it and no other resistors. Is this the problem still? The coils look fine.

Hi All, I've got an '89 with the 4.2 and dreaded Carter carb. Previous owner paid a small fortune to get is to pass local emmision tests, then decided to sell it. Occasionally, it would not start after a short trip. Engine would turn over fine but no spark at the coil. Thanks to this newsgroup I...

i have a 89 2.5and a rusted out 92 jeep with a I-6... how much work is it to swap the I-6.. and also i have called around and found a shop to sell me a 4.7 L instead of my 4.0 and too do the swap for 2600.. dose that sound reasonable?... what option would be better

The automatic has 3 forward positions, (over) Drive, 3, and "1-2". Pretty silly, on many of these mountain roads 3 is too high and if you put it in 1-2 it kicks into 1 unexpectedy. Anyone know if you can modify the trans to go into 2 without enabling low? The thing has a 4 inch lift on it, the...

okay I am stuck. I have been told that there is supposed to be a vacuum line running to the front axle differential to engage the front axle to 4wd. I am as green as they come when it comes to this vehicle. I cannot find a vacuum line running to the unit. If there is a vacuum line running to it,...

I have an 89 Cherokee, five-speed, I6 4.0 engine with 4hi and 4lo. I paid a mechanic some good money to replace a clutch slave cylinder and got more problems than what he fixed. A few attempts back to him to "fix" things, and he evidently doesn't know how to work on it... Now when I try to engage...

Need help, I was replacing my sway bar bushings and broke two of the mounting bolts that go into the frame rail, so I figured I would just drill them out and retap them, well while center punching the first one the nut popped off the frame rail and is history leaving me about a 1/2" hole. does any...

89 Cherokee rattles at startup, ceases noise when warm but oil pressure drops to 20. Oil and filter has been changed and lucas additve put in. Any suggestions besides a bad bearing.

My Cherokee starts fine but as soon as I touch the brake pedal it kills the engine. If I keep my foot on the brake pedal it won't start. I tried disconnecting the wire to the brake light switch but if I do this it won't start. The brake lights work fine and the hazard lights work so I don't think...

I have an 89 Wrangler with tilt wheel and manual transmission. When I turn the wheels all the way to the right or left, the steering wheel can continue to spin, causing misalignment of the steering wheel. What is the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks

Previously I replaced my 9 front suspension and track bar bushings which seem to aggravate my wobble so I then replaced all my tie rod ends except the track bar. Then I set my toe-in to zero. On a 75 mile round trip from Canon City CO to Pueblo CO at 65 mph, I had absolutely no shimmy, wobble,...

SO I recently went through the captive bottle-cap cap-bottle tango several times with many over-heatings until I got a Cap-bottle combo that actually worked. I tightened all the hoses and I now operate okay EXCEPT when I first start the temp gets all the way up-to @ 230-240 at which point it drops...

Is there a simple fix for sloppy steering on my '89 xj 4.0? or do I need a new/rebuilt steering box, etc...?

The emissions control sticker under the hood is missing. Can someone tell me what the baseline timing is? It's something at 1600 rpm but I can't find that info. Also, any tips on adjusting timing for maximum fuel efficiency? Thanks Poe
