Sorry I don't have proper reference for your ZJ , I tried to follow along with my 1992 factory service manual to see if it would be if any help . I could not find the battery + input for the PCM which is supposed to be through the ignition switch to my knowledge but unable to confirm that . So...

Hip to be square

Guess he didn't like the square headlights ? Well , you know he's got a good jeep now ! The looks of a CJ and the integrity of a YJ wrangler ! Can't go wrong . Nice Camo too !

Agree with above post . The 2.5 liter or the 4.0 ? Also , the second post shows a CJ7 trailered . You mentioned a trade , was it the CJ for the YJ ?

Pardon me for saying , but the jumpers on the fog light switch are crossing each other which most definitely will cause an arc. Sorry about that �� .

Celebration time ! You earned it ! The promise to take the kids out for the Christmas Eve ride will be kept , as promised . Miracles do happen and you worked hard for it to come true . Yes , a very merry Christmas to you and family ! P.S.- after the holidays , when the weather is good , maybe...

I cannot identify that " module " , I'll call it , or its purpose. I'll have to say it's an add - on since its zip tied and fastened with sheet metal screws . Can't find it on a FSM ( factory service manual ) . Curiously , we would be interested where it's wiring goes and connects . Ok , a oil...

If the cylinders have been soaking a reasonable amount of time , you can try to bar it over but if the engine didn't break loose with a few tugs , I think the breaker bar wouldn't yield much results . You can pull the cylinder head to get a look at the condition of the cylinders if you've got a...

On the first picture post , the casing is clearly split and at the minimum , must have been arcing but what oil,is packed from the factory is long gone . Give it last rites and pitch it . On the second picture post , that's the front axle shift motor . Won't have any bearing on the no start ...

Hey ! I think your on to something ! Why can't we have a collection of typos and misprints . Who says we can't have our own bloopers .

I don't know if that trans has a vacuum operated shift modulater , which are normally fitted into the body of the trans , above the pan . They work with the valve body to control shifting . But the problem of down shifting is still the kick down / throttle valve , which I believe is a...

Is the issue that if losing air flow as previously suggested or is it that the temperature drops from warm to cold ? In later model jeeps there are issues of blend doors in the duct work that cause such problems as your experiencing but I'm also reminded of a friends wife's ford van which had a...

It's good to hear that you've made progress with repairs that have made such a difference toward improving the jeeps comdition. It was very wise to remove the clip you found in the throat of the carburetor . That wasn't a wise thing for the previous owner to do since there was a major risk of...

When checking the ignition coil harness with the computer safe test light , a power circuit is checked with the alligator clip on negative battery terminal . When checking a ground circuit , the alligator clip,on battery positive . if you have the clip on positive terminal and no light is...

Thank you for your reply . the reason I stress " COMPUTER SAFE " is because I learned the hard way years ago why. We must test computer circuits with computer safe equipment . A NOID light just makes it easier in addition to being computer safe . The power for the injector circuit isn't a...

In addition to engine compression , intake and vacuum , valve timing ( timing chain ) and fuel delivery ( fuel pump ) and ignition timing and carburetor adjustment as well as state of tune , carburetor condition may have to be considered . not just base plate gasket seal is to be checked ...

Agree that a compression test should performed to determine the engines health . Also , test the intake manifold for intake leaks at the base gasket where the carb bolts up but more in particular where the intake bolts up to the cylinder head . In - line engines are known for intake leaks there...

Reading back in earlier posts , alternator replacement was posted . althoigh that may have no bearing on this no start , there is diagnostic checks which will involve checking the field on the back of the alternator . There is a wire which connects to a terminal on the field and also splices to...

You may If you want to check the auto shutdown relay , just swap a known good relay in its place . The a/c relay will do . If you wanted to bypass , jump terminal 30 to terminal 87. But use a good relay to maintain connectivity. Although the last check of the crank sensor revealed good , keep an...

It is possible the thermostat could be stuck open . That could mean the thermostat is faulty . Hasn't happened to me in a while but it has so I still keep that in mind if this should happen . eventually , after a long drive , the engine coolant gradually gets hotter and doesn't cool efficiently...
