Lol true lol. I just this damn XJ fixed already. I hope I don't have to play with any throttle parts.

 

We'll walk you through it and you'll come out the other side with more knowledge and confidence.

 

Thank you. Sincerely, thank you.

 

If I spray the throttle body cleaner, what am I.looking for? And how if there is a leak, what is the worst case scenario?

 

Trust me, you'll know by the sudden idle change. Worst case scenario is you'll have to fix the vacuum leak!!! Have you ever checked the tightness of your intake manifold bolts?

 

I haven't yet. The valve cover was loose when I brought the jeep home so I'm guessing the might be loose as well. I'll check when I get home from work. Gotta love working 34 days in a row! Lol

 

I forgot all about those pesky manifolds bolts.... Always comin loose lol

 

If that's the case I'm gonna lock tight the crap out of them

 

Lock tite will burn off at that heat level. Just make sure you torqued them. There are the torque sequence and the numbers on lunghd.com.

 

This is what I found and I don't think its good

Anyone know any good mechanics in the Chicagoland area?

 

Don't give up yet.

 

Did ucsee the video? Idk. I might get a full diagnostic then go from there. Its becoming too much for me and my time is running out. The snow is coming and my little civic is about a centimeter off the ground and the 6speed is a pain on slick roads

 

Oh wow that's some big time blow by.... How many miles? You need a leakdown test.

 

I have seen that with a rich conditions too.... Usually rings... Cruiser did you watch the video?
