I would pull the intake off and try to fish it out.

Ok, so we're replacing all brake pads and shoes. Found the pads, but am confused on the shoes, there are two sizes. We have the dana 35 on a 1989 Limited. The two sizes are 1 3/4 and 2 1/2. Which one do we need? I'm guessing the 1 3/4, but don't know for sure. Thanks.

I am having a stalling issue in my jeep. I have an 89 4.0L. Mine is stalling out at low speeds, like creeping around in parking lots or in traffic. It also seems like the idle is too low during normal driving. I had the IAC valve replaced not too long ago, and that fixed it for a while. Then the jeep quit out on me and it would crank and but not start. I had the throttle body cleaned, and a new crank sensor installed. It starts now, but is giving me the same stalling problem. I had all the vacuum lines checked and they are fine. My resting idle is about 500. I am wondering if the jeep is idling improperly, and that is causing it to stall out. Maybe i need to replace the IAC again? I also have an emissions mat light on, so i was also wondering if that may have something to do with the issue. Maybe O2 sensor, CAT Conv, or something else?? Any ideas????

What is the plastic piece behind the window called and how do I remove it?


And what are the black rubber things called and where can I buy new ones?

Well, I figured it out. Those monkeys down at Autozone always seem to give me the wrong parts. For some odd reason their computer system is backwards because I brought the housing and driveshaft in and the NP242 seal fit perfect in the housing and over the shaft for the NP231. Who knew. Just so everyone knows if your getting a seal from them ask questions

So you have a 231 but the 242 seal is the one that fit?

Will the Check engine light and code automatically go away once you fix the issue or must it be reset? I can't remember which.

Is there any way to test your speaker/radio wiring before assuming your speakers are blown? The radio hasnt played music since I bought it. The speakers don't make any noise at all, but if it was blown then wouldn't it make some sort of noise? The wires are all there.

For lack of info I'm gonna assume this is an aftermarket radio. Check power and grounds with test light or better yet volt meter. If you wanna check speaker circuits, go across the speaker wires on ohms setting with meter ( ex. Lf+ and lf- speaker wires ) should have some resistance value. If you have an open doing that, you know the wiring from the radio to speaker is broken somehow. You can do the resistance check on individual wires going from the radio wire to the speaker end too, but depending on the speaker location this is not always practical.. Hope this helps you out somewhat

It will go away; but depending on the particular code it could take many drive cycles for this to happen. On the other hand tho, usually resetting it is as simple as disconnecting the battery. (newer vehicles may need the power off for like 20 minutes for modules to reset; pre-OBD II vehicles will most likely reset right away)
