Yea, keep us updated.

 

oh yeah and x2 on the cat, that was the other half of my problem

 

Hey guys thanks for the help but I found out today when I was messing with the distributor it has this pole thing connected to the bottom that goes in some hole. Well it wasnt all the way down the hole. Now that I pushed it in it turns on just fine and runs great. Now I just need to know how to keep it in? Because it pops out when Im driving.

 

Your missing the dist retaining fork and bolt it sounds like.

Glad you found the problem.

 

Ya I think thats it it should keep it in place. It probably happened when I went offroading lol because im still an amateur and I hit alot of bumps. Thanks though

 

You want to fix this sooner than later. If it comes up too far it could come seperated from the oilpump shaft.. and you stop circulating oil. The drive gear could get damaged as well.

 

When I messed with it I pushed it back down. Could something already be disconnected you think?

 

Does it show oil pressure?

 

yes it shows pressure. It didnt seem that anything was unplugged..

 

Your good if it's got pressure.. i'm not sure you can drop the dist in without the shaft being engaged.. but it's something you want to be sure of regardless. Get the retaining fork on asap.

 

ok i will im calling auto zone as we speak thanks bro

 

AZ wont have your part, go through the classifieds and get one from someone parting a Jeep.

 

ya your right AZ or Orielly dont have it. I will have to hit up some junk yards or craigslist.

 

I have the exact problem with my 2000 jeep and was wondering if u could explain how you fixed it alittle better
