ive got the rustoleum roll on bedliner, word of advice DO NOT use it on top of rubberized undercoating, that stuff sucks and chips off easily, taking the bedliner with it lol, but i love the bedliner though, its tough as nails

Alright guys we got another problem.
I changed the oil out and put 5 qurts oil with 1 qurt trans fluid to get any water out. I was planning on running it for 30min then putting all oil in but now the jeep starts and starts to stall within 10-15 seconds. Thought there might be mud cloging the exust but I put my hand and felt a good amount of air coming out.

Any ideas??? Thanks

I put a new air filter in and where is the intake manifold? I have never really worked on a car I'm only 16 and need to get her running.
Thanks

The intake manifold is where the ducting goes to from ur air box. That big aluminum piece that sit above the exhaust manifold. you can't miss it.

It needs to be unbolted and checked for water. you might want to find someone who knows and ask them to help you.

is there any check engine light comming on? if so find out what code its throwing with a scanner. i would do that first. if no light then take the mani off.

Pull the plugs and see what they look like, and make sure all the ignition components are perfectly dry. Change the oil in both diffs, the t-case, the trans, and the engine AGAIN. I sunk a XJ once, and it was not fun.

flushing the trans and rear diffs is irrelevant at this time. the tranny only moves the vehicle, it has nothing to do with its idling. pulling the dist cap is a good idea to see if its dry.

Even though the ses light was on before, doesn't mean that it should run now. pull the code(s) it might have thrown more. I would check the egr valve to make sure the vac line is still hooked up. It could have come off. That would cause the motor to stumble and/or staul. the egr valve is a disc or saucer looking thing next to or around the throttle body on the intake mani.
keep us posted.
