Then what? What should happen after dribbling water down the intake. Does it dissolve the carbon and correct the problem or what?Originally Posted by cruiser54
No need to. Pretty easy. Get a cup of water, preferably something like a 24 to 32 oz. cup. With the air cleaner off, hold the engine RPM at 2000 RPM or higher and dribble the water from the cup, which you've pinched to look like a spout on top, into the carb or throttle body. Go slowly and the engine will bog a bit. Stop and let it recover. Repeat until the cup is empty.

The water cools the carbon quickly causing it to flake off and gets removed on the exhaust stroke. You can try using chemicals such as seafoam but water is shown to be much more effective.Originally Posted by RSWiser

Some say the water also causes a spike in cylinder pressure that knocks it off too. It's cool if you look up pictures of engines with coolant leaks the cylinder with the cracked/leaky head is nice and shiny and usually the others are all caked with carbon. Read you can also use ATF but that makes a lot of white smoke.Originally Posted by RSWiser

As far as I'm aware the ATF trick was used in engine oil as they used to be high in detergent.Originally Posted by rcguymike

I would never pour lubrication oil into a gasoline engine's intake

Multi fuel engines such as those in military m35a2s can be run off of used ATF if filtered properly? But yeah I'd definitely stick with water for decarbonizing.Originally Posted by salad

The only thing a Jeep 4.0L and Continental LDT-465 have in common is that they're inline sixes... lolOriginally Posted by rcguymike

Anybody know what this plug is for. I'm getting tired of the is big roll of like 5 ft long yellow wire under the dash. I followed it up to this plug. I don't want to cut w yellow wire off in case it's for something important. Anyways, so the the plug it goes not also has a purple and black wire, the black wire goes to the ground under the dash, and the purple wire goes to a plug on the steering column. The purple wire then comes back out of the plug and splices into a red wire that goes into the wiring harness for the jeep.



Here's the plug

The long yellow wire

The ground

Looks like aftermarket lighting maybe. That's not any OE Jeep connctor I've ever seen. And the harness is ghetto
More pics!



Here's the plug on the steering column that the purple wire goes to

The red arrow is where the purple wire goes into the plug, the blue arrow is where it comes out.

Here you can see where the purple wire (blue arrows) comes around and is spliced with the red wire and goes Into the harness (green circle).

i neglected to get an alignment after lifting the jeep for a few months and now my front tires wore significantly more than the rear. To some extent I read it could be normal, but I feel they really wore fast.
My question is, should I proceed to rotate them? I put maybe 6-7k kms (I guess around 4k miles) on them since I bought them new, and would like the best setup for their current condition. They have about 3-4/32 of difference between front and rear. If I should rotate, what's the pattern I should follow? Left rear on right front, right rear on left front and both front wheels on the same side but rear? Thanks!
