I have a 1998 sport 2.5L 4 clylinder 2dr. it starts great in the morning and runs great... but if you stop at a store or something then get back into it, the engine starts fine, so you start to pull out into traffic and then engine feels like it boggs down and loses power, almost like you put...

I just bought a 1996 cherokee 4.0L 4x4 for my GF and we noticed that the drive line that turns the front wheels turns all the time, the reason I noticed it was because the front differential seal has been leaking fluid. If I keep the jeep in 2wd drive should the front drive line still turn ?

Bounty__Hunter No scopes available in my area! carnuck, are you saying you had an engine with blowby problems and added 15-50W Synthetic oil to it and it cured the problem and everything was cool and groovy when your engine hit 200,000 miles ?. I was looking at a KW vented oil cap to...

Today I put a few onces of 30/w oil in cylinder #2 and it changed the compression from 110 psi to 190 psi, all things considered the engine runs pretty good...hate to tear it down if there is a simple solution out there.. or a way to narrow down the problem. It would be nice if they made a...

The CCV system is working properly and is very interesting, it pulls a vacum from the intake manifold and replaces the air in the valve cover with the hose that comes from the air cleaner box with clean, fresh, cool air. It probably helps to keep the rocker arms and componants cool... anyway...

so 1991 to 2001 is not true? There is two hoses coming from the engines valve cover, which neither seem to have a check valve in them, both of them are free (both ways). the one that is in the back of the valve cover goes right into the air cleaner box, while the one in the front goes into the...

I went into my local Napa Parts Store to ask them for a price of a long block for my 1998 2 WD, Auto, 2dr, 2.5 L engine, they said that there was only a few years that would fit that model and the price for the long block was outragous ! 1600. I went online and found several web sites that said...

what should be the compression reading in lbs per cylinder for a engine with low miles.

I'm repairing a timing chain cover leak, the gasket kit came with a harmonic balancer repair sleeve. I'm sure the sleeve wasn't designed to fall on.. but after using Emory sandpaper it didn't seem to even want to try to go on....so I froze the pulley and boiled the aluminum sleeve...still no...

Thanks SteelHeadz I looked closer at the 1/8 ID vac line coming from the T and into the firewall, apparently the flame caught about 3/4" of the line and melted it from underneath, I cut the 3/4" out while holding the vac line that went into the firewall with a pair of surgical claps. Then I made...

Don, I feel your pain..of course there must be some logical way of getting to your Oil Filter. On my jeep they put the #1 sparkplug right behind the a/c compressor ! If I didnt have curve nosed pliers, swivel sockets, extensions and 5/8 sparkplug socket with the rubber sparkplug holder still in...

Ok, It seems that all those vac lines are intact and working. would the vac line coming out of this T turn into a smaller vac line lets say 1/8 ID. Of course its late tonight so I can copy and paste your info into a word pad and print a copy and check it out tomorrow.

Yes I beleive that picture #2 shows that, then the vac line in picture #2 comes up and enters the wiring harness in picture #1, from there I cant see where the vac line comes out of the harnesss :???:

My heater controls dont work its seems to be stuck on defrost. I did have a small engine compartment fire but most of what you see in the pics is just superficial damage. I am trying to trace all the vacum hoses and I came across this hose that goes into the wiring harness then down to the...

Update Before I started looking into the valve springs, I decided to do a tune-up, while looking over the engine area I discovered that there was a crack in the vacum hose leading to the fuel pressure regulator. so I repaired the vacum hose and then things started heading downhill Fast! long...

I bought a 1998 2 door cherokee several years ago, it came with a problem tho. one of the ex springs was weak and my mechanic showed me. he replaced the spring and it has been running good so/so for years. Now its acting up again, similar to when I bought it. Is there a problem with the valve...

after removing the heater control cable the dash came loose with a upward and outward tug. the heater/ac box came out with a little difficulty still but I was glad to finally get to at the problem area! once I separated the heater box I found that the AC core was the one that was clogged with...

Thanks everyone for your input! I'm at a point where I have stopped because I have removed everything I can on the dash. 6 fastners across the top near the window, the two lower dash bolts, and completely removed the bracket between the transmission hump and the lower dash but it seems like...

Yes i would just like to clean the coils and I tried to clean them from what I could see of it when I had the blower off. I even tried to use a peice of garden hose at the end of my shop vac to remove the dirt by vacuming it out but it didnt work. I also tried blowing it out with air from my...

I have a 1998 2.5 l 2 dr Sport cherokee. apparently the blower for the heater/ac did not have a good seal on it and after 100.00 miles it has been completely clogged by dirt/dust etc coming in from the engine compartment and is not blowing out air thru my vents. the Ciltons manual I bought is...
