Huh???

 

new to the forum... Hello all

 

right here.....

Welcome osiriskid!

 

Hi

 

I drive the xj daily. Probably put 40miles a day on it...If you haven't spotted me yet you are rarely on I-40E/I-40W or central ABQ

 

do u drive in alb w out doors,,,? is it legal? i want to take mine off sooo bad!!btw i m looking for a set of used tires 30 or 31 " any one in alb or northern nm have a set ?

 

Its legal other than highway. Which even then no cop will give you crap about it. I drive past several cops in a single day, for awhile I ran open headers with no doors and still no cops gave me any problems.

 

well guys jeep took a dump

Symptoms:

Wont start. Turns over fine just cranks.. When it happend I had just started motor cool, and it would start hesitating, like a misfire if i gave it gas it would want to die. If i held in the clutch it would rev up as soon as I pressed the gas it would want to die. then hit a stop light and boom died and would not start. Tried to start at home after it was cool and still nothing. Earlier in the day got a CEL got scanned it and p0171 came up for an o2 sensor.. Well investigated a little more and found a crack in the header. Dont think this has anything to do with it but thought I would through it in. Just seeing what you guys would recommend to check.

-Fuel filter is brand new.
-Fuel pump primes.. HOEVER SOUNDS A TAD DIFFERENT WHEN PRIMING..
-Spark plugs, distributor cap, and rotor are all brand new. Checked plugs and cap no burn marks and gets spark.
-Lights work.


Sorry if this sounds noobish but that is because I am

Theory: Heat form the crack in the headers possibly melted an injector??

Thanks for reading looks like I will drive the other money pit.

Pics for clicks.


And a shout out to my boy and his xj for towing me home..

 

ya im not usually around i40 and central but i have seen you driving around doorless
im in the process of making some tube doors

we should all meet up sometime just to check out everyone elses jeeps

 

Where and how bad is the crack in the header? How close to the o2??
I'm thinking maaaaaybe with that crack your o2 thinks its running lean and sending more fuel causing it to f-up
Post up on naxja.org/forum in the OEM tech thread you'll definately get a answer there fairly quick

 

Look at your exhaust tip. If its sooty its running rich that code is usually a bad o2 causing a rich condition. If it was a injector the bad injector spark plug would be discolored. Like I said That hole might be sucking in air causing your o2 to think its lean therefore the computer will bump up fuel to compinsate for it. It can even need a tune up or have a bad coil. My money is on that header first if not that then one of the o2's. Or even a bad cat not Doing its job and the downstream o2 is getting a bad reading

 

Also I'd check your fuel pressure with a gauge when you can.
