now i know everyones had cooling issues before espically on pre-97 XJs or so ive heard anyway....but the issue i have is nothing that ive ever seen before and nothing that google has answered nor can anyone ive talked to i made a video of it this morning cause its wayy easier to show all of you guys and girls versus trying to describe it. here ya go


and now a few minutes later (roughly 10)

and i know its not oil its fuel cause its running rich and also the rattling that you hear is my exhaust pipe.


96 XJ classic, No cat, 3.5" lift, Cold air intake 2.4L inline 4 injectors from a stratus/neon, everything else mostly stock.

 

have you replaced the cts yet ?

 

havent replaced it because i wouldn't think within 2 months it would go bad. it started acting up and that's where i started about 2 months ago along with a fluid flush and change.

 

if you un plug it and start it is cooling fan runninng

 

yes the fan is on when the sensor is unplugged. the temp wont move at all no matter how long it runs because obviously its not getting a reading at all, so while its hot and running like garbage the fan stays on, im thinking as a safety

 

you should have a second cooling sender on back of head that works temp gauge drivers side rear no ?

 

as far as i know i dont have one there. i know which one youre talking about but i just recently did a new header on it and it wasnt easily visible if it was there at all, looked everywhere for it

 

nothing like this....

 

where ya go

 

with sensor un plug gaguge should zero out just like a fuel sender would if it were unpluged

 

issue start after install no pinched wire correct ?

 

come to think of it mine does have one of those haha. pinched off wires none.

 

that control gauge id replace cts grab one from jy if it cures issues your done if not only out couple bucks , no check engine light lit ?

 

that sensor. not the pinched wire.

 

hey man my jeep done the same thing and i un hooked the wire on the back and the front of the moter and put a aftermarket heat temp guage and mine hasent missed since but it still gets hot i havent figured out if its my radeater or my waterpump yet but im geting ready to replace both
