Told my mother if I wreck it I'll just buy it back and get another one.

 

Are you trying to get full coverage?

 

My parents want full coverage but I would be fine with just liability

 

Depending on your area, you could get up to $9k for a totalled XJ with full coverage. I got $7,900 for my '01.

 

So if I ever roll it with full coverage. I could basically buy a cheap XJ and actually build it they way I want.

 

Any special reason that you guys ignore new people on here or is it because I am asking a question in the wrong place? If I am in the wrong place you could just tell me, I already want to set my jeep on fire and you guys are making me feel like I am in the twilight zone & you all are talking back and forth and no one can hear me because I am really dead and don't know it.

 

$1187 for progressive

 

Then if they want full coverage on it then they need to pay for it. If you're paying for it then put whatever you want on it...

 

For my 88 and 90 xj full coverage on both with $0 deductible on glass I pay $116 a month. Im only 22 also.

 

Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind me butting-in to this thread! Got a few questions about my 95 XJ 2.5TD (VM engine). I have owned it for a few weeks and it has been fine. Now, however it intermittently won't rev over 2000 rpm. I have had a look on the net and it seems to be a common issue, I have checked the following:

Turbo spins ok with no free play.

Intercooler hoses soft but leak-free and inflate when turbo spins up.

Air cleaner filter replaced (original was ancient, rusty and clogged).

Wires to No.1 injector appear to be in good condition.

EGR valve cleaned and inspected, seems ok.

Vacuum hoses ok with no splits.

Fresh tank of diesel with injector cleaner additive.

OBD self test (ignition on-off-on-off-on) gives code 12 (battery or computer recently disconnected???).

I have the following questions:

I have read the cause maybe the MAF sensor, but I can't find a it anywhere, surely it would be somewhere in the air intake circuit? Did some XJ's not have one fitted?

There is sludge in the clear bowl under the diesel filter. I have a new filter to go on but can't find any information on the correct procedure for changing it. For example, do you need to clamp the fuel lines? Is the filter housing self bleeding, or if not how do you bleed it? Do you need to bleed the diesel pump afterwards?

I apologise if these are bone questions, I am a maintenance engineer and consider myself to be a competent mechanic but I would appreciate the benefit of your collective knowledge, and any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Pete.

 

So my jeep started giving me problems this weekend. i will go to start my jeep and it will start but the starter stays on whining! it is not shooting forward hitting the flywheel its just turning and turning. and today on my way to work it was still doing it and when i got to work it had stopped so i disconnected my battery just in case it was shorting out somewhere, when i came back out to start my jeep up you can hear the starter turning but it does not shoot forward to hit the flywheel. please help !!! need to know why its staying stuck on while the jeep is on and driving, and need to know if it just got to hot and is shot. i have not gone to autozone to have it tested yet!

 

I have no idea about those issues. But that is an awesome and rare engine from what people say. I'm jealous.

 

Grats on the XJ! Be good to that engine, I hear the heads can go easily.

No idea if there's a MAF, not sure what they'd need one for.

I'd definitely start by changing the fuel filter and cleaning that mess out. You'll need to prime it afterwards. Some vehicles have a little hand pump or you may just be able to get the fuel pump to run and do it for you.

 

Your XJ uses an electronic speed sensor. It's the type with a small gear on the end of it. The Transmission Control Unit (or Module) uses input from your Throttle Position Sensor and Vehicle Speed Sensor to determine the gear (among others). Every auto XJ owner should test their TPS and adjust the Throttle Valve cable (searchable writeups on this site). As for losing your speedo and odometer, can you elaborate? Does the odometer just go blank?

Easy there dude. This is a free forum and most people on here are not mechanics (I am not). If people have no idea what the solution is they're not going to respond. Also your posts are very difficult to read and are likely being skipped over... put some whitespace in, it helps.

You will be better served by starting a new thread. This is just for one-off questions and not drawn out troubleshooting.

 

YOU ARE DEAD!!!

What was your question? They get passed over all the time.
