    Gas Fumes CatConverter Connection?

    Hi I recently noticed a rattle under my 94 Gr.Cherokee, it seemed to be coming from the CatConverter. Around the same time, I also began to notice gas and or exhaust fumes coming in when the front windows were down. Could a bad Cat cause some type of disruption in the flow to where it would back...

    AC Compressor only runs for a couple seconds

    newbie w/ questions Hey The A/C on my 94 Gr.Cherokee hasn't worked since I got it. The compressor never engaged at all. I just tried to put some R134a in, and the system took maybe 1/3 of a can. Now when I turn on the A/C, the compressor will come on intermittently for a second or two. But...

    Frustrating rear rotor

    Hey guys I am trying to replace the rear rotor on my 94GrandCherokee. The front rotor just pops off, but I can't get the rear one off, not even close. The caliper is no problem. The book mentions that some models have push nuts(?) that secure the rotor to the wheel studs. It says to remove and...

    Loss of Power...Hesitation?

    Hi This is an automatic transmission. Overdrive is the only gear that there is any sputtering/hesitation. I pulled what codes I could and came up with nothing. Is there any way to diagnos the condition of the torque converter without pulling it off? Thanks a bunch for your help Aaron

    Loss of Power...Hesitation?

    I need a front axle for a 84 CJ7 Thanks Nick, It only does it as it passes a certain speed. On the highway between 60 + 70, it is usually at or around 2000RPM at that speed. But at the same RPM's at lower speeds, there is no hesitation etc. It is full time 4 wheel. Off the top of my head I'm...

    Loss of Power...Hesitation?

    My 94GrCherokee, V8 used to eat up hills. But on last trip into Rockies, it stuttered and hesitated going up. Now also does that on highway between 60+70MPH. Around town it isn't at quick either, but no hesitation until on the highway. Don't know why it only does it at higher speeds. It seems...

    CV Boot

    OK, I am a little slow :oops: The clunk wasn't in my cv axle, it was my transfer case, which is now totally shredded. I am trying to line up a new one. Mine is model NP249, with 272 gear ratio. There are also 8 numbers in the middle of the tag-serial I am assuming- 5209 7529. I want to make...

    CV Boot

    I may be incorrect in the lingo. Is an XJ the same as a Grand Cherokee? I had a mechanic tell me the CV boot was bad, and when I inspected it myself, there is a conical rubber boot held on by a clam at either end. It is between the back of the wheel and I guess the outer end of the axle. My...

    CV Boot

    Hi guys Youve helped a lot in the past. I need to know how to replace a CV Boot on my 1994 Jeep GrandCherokee 5.2L. There is NOTHING in the Chilton's. I guess maybe it is as simple as disasemling it to the point of removing the boot then working back. Any pointers will help. The boot is...

    start then stall when cold after vacuum leak fixed-HELPQUICK

    I just had the intake man. gasket replaced which fixed a major vacuum leak. No more hissing, coolant leaking, or rough idle, it did wonders. The only problem is now when I start the thing when it is cold, it cranks for a couple seconds, catches and then immediately shuts down. If I keep my foot...

    Intake Man. Vac leak-Tips?

    it is the V8- 5.2L high output MPI engine. So, the only reason to drain coolant is if there is some time of coolant flow through or around the manifold? How do I find out for sure if there is, or should I just drain it to be sure? Thanks again

    Intake Man. Vac leak-Tips?

    I have a vacuum leak in the intake manifold of my 94GrandCherokee. I was told by a mechanic that this isn't too tough of a job. We'll see. Apparently must drain coolant, replace a gasket. Not much advice in my Chiltons. Any tips out there to see this go smoothly? Thanks

    Exhaust Question

    OK, My coolant does drop some, I've had an external leak that comes and goes, can't track it down, it seems to be the heater bypass hose from the water pump to the block. I've attributed the coolant loss to this, but maybe it is something internal as well. If the heads are cracked, or gaskets...

    Exhaust Question

    Thanks guys, I've changed the rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, and TPS. Air filter is brand new. I have tried to pull up codes using the method of turning the key. Only 12 and 55 have come up. Any tips on determining if the converter is bad w/out taking it in? I will check the pressure...

    Exhaust Question

    Hey all My 94GrandCherokee is giving off some rich fumes lately. Smells like gas a lot when I turn if off. This smell even occasionally invades the cab while at a stop light. The exhaust seems a little more white than normal. I have heard that too much gas in the mixture can ruin the catalytic...

    Throttle Position Sensor

    electric fan Thanks in advance for your help. My 94 JeepCherLtd-5.2 just came up with a code 24-TPS. My Chiltons says you can check the voltage on the sensor. I am completely unfamiliar with checking voltages on a vehicle. Would standard voltmeter do this? Also, the book says that you can...

    Distributor Question

    Thanks in advance for your help. I have a 94Grand Cherokee, 8Cyl. It is running rough, and getting terrible mileage. I recently notices that the distributor is loose. The cap is attached firmly to the lower housing, but I can turn the entire part with my hand. If it didn't bump into the rest...

    Mystery Coolant Leak?

    It is a slow leak. It is far behind the water pump and above it. The water pump is bolted to the engine, but the part of the engine that the water pump is bolted to is also bolted to the block, if that makes any sense. The leak seems to be along that surface. I don't even know if there is a...
