97 XJ 4.0. Yesterday it wouldn't start unless I gave it gas, then would died soon as I let off the gas. Started one time but barely sputtered idle for about 10 seconds then died. Finally started normal and drove it 6 hours with no problems. Sometimes it will kind of stall soon as I leave my driveway. Does this sound like the TPS going bad?

 

Replacing RE 3.5 leaf springs, ive been drowning everything in trans fluid/acetone.

anything im over looking for the install of new ones? breaker bar, pb blaster ready, maybe buy a propane torch. they arent terribly rusted since installing the lift however on stock leaf to shackle was a Mother******. hoping for the best, trying not to be assured its easy.

 

I have been meaning to try the trans fluid/acetone combo. People seem to get get results with it. Broke down and bought a gallon of PB Blaster instead. Just got tired of the aerosol cans.

 

ATF + acetone is the most effective penetrating oil, by far. The only problem is you have to mix it each time you need it

 

I cannot stand the smell of PB.

And, I don't think it works well.

 

1) ATF & acetone
2) AeroKroil
3) Liquid Wrench
4) PB Blaster

I've had situations where LW and PB have helped me out, but they don't always make a difference. Depends on the specific situation

 

Tried Freeze-Off?

 

CRC? No, I haven't, but I've heard good things

 

Same here. I found a bunch of Deep Creep for $2 each at Kmart in the clearance section once. Save that for things I think will need a little more cause I think it is better then the PB Blaster.

 

 

Never really cared for the Liquid Wrench but kinda hard to argue with that chart.

 

This convinced me to start mixing up my own ATF/acetone concoction.

 

Biggest problem with this is you have to mix it every time you use it is what I've heard.

 

Yea I think it's because the acetone evaporates. But if it saves me from busting my knuckles. I'm game.

 

You will change your preference chart if you do
