New guy saying hello =) from El paso tx
Hey whats up everybody names Matt hannes just joined this forum
i drive a 1988 jeep XJ 4 door has 4inch lift on 31's Dana 35s front and rear stock Tranny stock T-Case . i mean nothing to special like all the other jeeps i see on here haha but That is what im leading to.
but curently is it not running and pissing me off. i have done so much to it since i bought it. bought it for $1200.oo the guy i bought it from never took care of it.
(Info on jeep) 1 )
He was running the jeep with NO thermos-stat. So I replaced the whole water system Radiator thermos stat thermos stat housing hoses water pump. and flushed out the motor.
2) The jeep then started having stalling problems. I replaced spark plugs , spark plug wires. then replaced every single fuse, still was not the problem. so then i moved onto Crank P sensor ,TPS sensor replaced both , still was not the problem, haha, the only other thing i could have though of was the Dizzy and well it was the dizzy it was the CPS sensor it was blown. so i bough a new one after trying to find one every wear in El paso and only one auto zone had it. and it solved the problem. so for about 2-3 weeks pass THE STUPID JEEP WONT START AGAIN.
i have no idea what it could be im getting fuel. the fuel pump turns on everything and it just cranks over.
So what should i do Guys. need a lil

The PO ran without a t-stat to mask a problem IMO.
Do a cooling system pressure test, a compression test, and a leak-down test to find out what it was. JMO
