hi
First of all thanks for the thread it really helpful.
Well I have problem in my jeep Cherokee which is the code : P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input , so my mechanic told me to change Intake Air Temp Sensor.
I change 3 time all and I even tried new sensor from the dealer it will run ok (after I clear the code) but when the car temperature go high in traffic or if its parked in the sun with the ac on for long time the check engine light will come on again.
Any one have any idea ? I searched in the forum I only got some ideas of changing the IAT , but what is the IAT is fine what could be the problem.
My Cherokee is 2001 Auto 4.0 and I have edge Trailjammer kit installed and hypertech power programming.
The car was running fine for almost a 4 or 5 months but once a day my car battery went bad and the car would not start so when I changed the battery the problem started to appear.

Thanks

Hi i have a 96 cherokee sport and over the weekend i replaced the raditor and the thermostat in my jeep the raditor went smooth but my thermostat is giving me problems i replaced it and when i did i put the thermostat in first then the gasket in and bolted the water outlet back on so then i stated puting fluid back in and when i did the water outlet started leaking out of the bottom bolt so i took it back off and put the gasket on first then the thermostat on second and that slowed the leak down to a drip then when i turned my car on it just started leaking faster so i then went to autozone to buy a new gasket and some sealent and that was yeaterday and that seem to do the trick i started it up and it didnt leak well i drove to work this morning and when i parked i saw that it was leaking again so i dont know what to do should i just buy a new water outlet could the old one just be warped or something thanks for you time and help

Hey there, I recently aquired my late brothers '94 and notice it has an oil leak. I haven't figured out excactly where it's coming from, it seems it's all over the place. Are there any common leak issues? I'm gonna replace the pan gasket soon so maybe I'll have a better idea of where it's coming from when I'm down there. Thanks
so now im getting a 'no bus' odometer reading and my speedo,rpms,etc ARENT working,i performed the actuator test and all the readings were fine......the airbag light stays on while driving but i NEED to get this taken care of before i get pulled over for speeding.....checked the interior fuses and the were fine....what would be my next step....stefano hope you know a fix for this

What do you think of getting this 1310 CV Driveshaft rather than getting the slip yoke eliminate and new driveshaft. The company said to me it works to eliminate drive angles. Just like the SYE and CV driveshaft would. I'm honesty considering it but what do YOU ALL think?
Check out this item I found on eBay:
JEEP CHEROKEE 1310 SLIP YOKE CV DRIVESHAFT XJ SYE NP242

I have a 1998 xj and the battery was draining over night and we found out that something was messed up with the ignition switch so we got a new ignition switch and when we were installing it a piece from the rod going into the ignition switch (its a plastic and metal piece between the lock cylinder and ignition switch) broke off and we cant find the part and dont want to buy a new steering column from a junk yard. What is the part and where can I find it?

I have a 2" Budget Boost consisting of 2" coil spacer and 2" shackle. Found a good deal on 3" coil springs and 3" full leaf packs. What do I need to put it together to make a 5" lift? I was thinking maybe a TC drop.

I doubt it will reach 5 inches at the back, try it the same, some people have rigs with 6inch lifts and don't have peroblems with driveline vibes..
