I have no idea what's going on there, but if it was your MC don't you think it would drop about an inch before it gets firm every time you hit the brakes at any speed? Have you checked your rear shoes lately?
Does it do it in drive?

 

Rear shoes or cylinders stuck.

 

no it does not that is why i am so confused and i thought maybe a tranny issue by why would the tranny affect the way the motor acts i also considered a bad sensor or solinoid

 

That's pretty weird. I've never heard of that kind of thing happening before. I have no idea what could make your jeep misfire in reverse and not in drive....I'm really stumped.

 

On my '96 XJ, I have the large, clear, rectangular signal lights under the headlights, with the orange wrap-around side-marker lights.
The signal lights have a single socket for #1157 bulb. I'd like to set it up to use the Signal Light as Daytime Running Light, using amber LED bulbs, but I don't think a single #1157 LED bulb will be bright enough.
Somewhere in the depths of my brain I seem to recall seeing a dual-bulb version of this signal light - maybe in a parts list, or exploded view, or something. So my question is - does a twin-bulb version of this signal light exist (or one that I could make fit)? If so, what year/trim would it be on, so I can find it in a junkyard?


(I know I need to do some special wiring to use as both DRL and signal light, I've got that under control)

 

I'm wondering what is the best steering stabilizer shock out there? Is it OME? They are wicked expensive! I've got a Rusty's on my XJ now. Just wondering if there is something out there that's superior.

 

I think it's really just personal preference. I got my RE one for 50 bucks.

 

I have a 2000 Sport and the "Check Engine" light came on for the first time today. It has 119,000K. Any thoughts?

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

That is what I thought. I don't know that I have ever driven a car that It didn't come on at some point.

 

A friend has a 91 Cherrokee. She was told by the person who sold it to her that the engine was from a 96. Both 6 Cyl.
The issue is the the oil filter strikes a sharp edge on the chassis (or suspension) whn hitting a bump. This cut a hole on the top end (away from the block) and createing a spraying oil leak.
Has any one ever heard of this. Is there a SHORT filter available??

I am a retire ase cert Mechanic but have no jeep extertise. I did discover the problem 3 filters ago .

 

Does it have the oil filter adapter (with an angle) or is the filter directly screwed to the block? Check the engine/tranny mounts aswell.

Thanks for the replies.
The L & R mount are solid as a rock. There is no 90 degree adaptor.
It may in fact be the Trans mount which will allow the powerplant to be lower then normal.

I did find a quick fix, and thei filternumber is one to keep handy in case of mods etc.

Fram Ph3512, Wix 5135, Napa 1335, aare all the same mount. and 2.7" high.

Thanks for the quick response, and hope someone else can benefit from my research.

Remember the JEEP was the single most important tool that helped in the success of our troops in WWII!
