Replaced the spark plugs, cap, rotor, air filter, and fuel filter today. Wires come in tomorrow so I’ll get those in too. Started rust repair since I got some metal to make patches with today. I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have to fix all the rust, install and wire lights on my dad’s car, pack my stuff up, and get my motorcycle ready before going back to college on Sunday (7th). We’ll see how this all goes. Any suggestions for cutting/welding near the brake and gas lines. Very concerned about it. Anywho here are some pictures of the things done today. also, not sure if I mentioned here or not, but I replaced the “thermostat” or what is left of one yesterday and flushed the cooling system the best I could. It was 21 degrees out so it did freeze the water that I got all over the edge of the driveway I was working on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everything seems to check out, and it runs great other than the stumble. I don’t know what to check or where to look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Once I replaced the fuel filter the pressure went up to 30ish idle and high 30s wot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tried a new tps and it didn’t fix the stumbling issue. I’m not sure what to try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still stumbling and I’m kinda stumped as to what it could be. I’m trying to just keep on doing some little maintenance things hoping something will clear it up. Been refreshing grounds and cleaning stuff up and doing what I can. I really want one of the in dash renix engine monitors so I can see what the sensors and such are saying when it’s having the issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as I know books and crannys. I don’t want to be the reason something gets ruined though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had the money I’d buy a harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner. We had one at a lawn mower shop I worked at one summer and that thing worked wonders. I am broke as joke so I took a can of cleaner and a tooth brush and went to town for a while. Not too bad, just was really cold holding it this morning and it was a little time consuming since mine was so nasty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cleaned the iac and throttle body, adjusted the tps and took it for another test drive. Definitely needed cleaning and it idles much smoother and at 750 rpms instead of 250. Still a slight stumble around 2000 rpms but if I put my foot on the floor it’ll go away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, forgot to reply to the bleeding question. Clutch pedal was bent very very slightly (should’ve taken a comparison picture) a buddy of mine has a Comanche he auto swapped so he gave me his clutch pedal and good as new. Shifts great now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, don’t mind the hijack of the thread, just glad to see reply’s in it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No damage at all before the crack happened, just a harsh cold snap then warmed up pretty quick that day. Happened out of the blue. I’ve tried 4 different temp senders, including the one that came out of the Cherokee I got the gauge cluster from. Tried 2 stock ones and 2 aftermarket ones. None have read close to right. I’ve used an IR gun on the thermostat housing and I got 180 one day (hadn’t been idling long, but the gauge hadn’t even moved really so I didn’t waste my time) another day I let it idle for 20 minutes and it got to 195 but the gauge was still at the first click. Got the tag this morning and drove it 2 hours to move stuff into my apartment at school and made it back to my parents house fine,but it hesitated a touch around 2000 rpms when cruising or gently accelerating (figured it could just be the old gas in it so I was trying to just use it all up) then ran to the parts store to return one of the coolant temp sending unit and then on the way back it was hesitating really bad and felt like it was going to die. I made it back home though and I ran back to the parts store in the Cherokee and got a fuel pressure gauge and a new fuel filter (figured I might as well grab it since I have to go back to the store anyway and I could just return it) well I got back and tested the fuel pressure 29 psi idling and drops to mid 20s when I gave it gas. Replaced the fuel filter and here is the color of the gas that came out . Then I took it for a test drive and it still hesitates at 2000 rpms and I’ve put 3/4 a tank of gas in it so it’s mostly fresh gas now. So I’m not sure exactly where to look for the issue. If I am gently accelerating or cruising there is the hesitation and miss at 2000 rpm, but if I rip on it from a stop it will go to redline without hesitation. I’m stumped and I really don’t have the money to throw parts at it hoping it’ll fix it. It’s driveable like it is, but obviously would love to get it running perfect.

Got cold last night and the windshield cracked so I had that replaced today, tomorrow I’m getting the tag and driving it an hour to college with a trailer to move some stuff in for next semester. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got everything working I believe. Engine still hasn’t gotten hot enough to possibly trip the electric fan so not sure on that yet. The temp gauge seems low to me, but I don’t know it could just be how these older ones sit when running. that’s where it was sitting after idling 20 minutes. Pulled the sensor from the Cherokee I got the gauge cluster from at the junkyard. IR temp gun said about 195 at the thermostat housing. Ordered some led tag lights since one was completely busted and the other was very very dim. Should get them in Wednesday and I’ll hook up the trailer wiring while I’m back there so I can pull my trailer for moving some stuff to school next semester. Here’s a picture of my jeeps parked next to one another. Cherokee is on 35” mtrs with 5.5” of lift and the Comanche is bone stock with 30” tires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put the starter in, still no beans so I took them both to the parts store and they tested good, while I was there I got a turn signal relay and fixed the turn signals. I had them order a starter relay and maybe it will solve the issue, if not I can return it. I get power on the solenoid so I don’t know why it won’t work unless it’s just not enough juice. Bled the clutch again and it still feels like it has air in it. I have to pump the clutch a couple times to get it to disengage sometimes. I can’t see any leaks, the master, Slave and clutch line are new. Any tips?

Got a new front harness, all the hazards and running lights in the front work right, but the turn signals don’t work so i have a feeling the turn signal relay needs to be replaced or maybe the multifunction switch on the column. Got a new starter and some courtesy lights for it too at the junkyard, about to try putting the starter in and hopefully she’ll work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drove it around the block today. Tach goes in and out for some reason, parts store gave me the wrong coolant temp sensor, I need to get headlights, the starter went out so I’ve been roll starting it, and the turn signals don’t work. I turn the hazards on and the rears flash, but the fronts don’t and the bulbs are both good in the front. When I turn on the running lights the right turn indicator stays lit up not sure what the deal is or if this is a common thing with these or not. Planned to get tags today, but the dmv is closed till the 27th so I guess I have time to figure my problems out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got back from a trip and didn’t have service out there. Right now the list is -Headliner -Back board -Ax-15 I believe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got me a full gauge cluster, and an ecu from the junkyard today. Put a clutch and slave in it yesterday. Once I button up the crossmember and bellhousing bolts I’ll start it up and see if somehow I got lucky and he had already put the right sensors in for the gauges or if I’ll have to get those from the parts store.

Got the gauge cluster and the ecu at the junkyard today for ~$80, still want a headliner and a back board (preferably black, but I have recovered things before), rear speaker brackets, tail lights, and battery tie down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe it’s mechanical, it’s a 1987. Pm me with a price please Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I was informed there is a carpeted panel of some sorts behind the seat? I would like to buy one or have someone take some pictures and measurements to replicate it possibly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s exactly what I’m looking for actually Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some parts have higher priority than others, but I am definitely looking for all the parts listed and will buy for the right price. Headliner Rear speaker brackets Driver’s side tail light (or both really) Ax-15 2wd or 4wd 89-90 ecu Full gauge cluster Battery tie down If I think of more things I’ll add them to the list. Thanks for any help with finding things! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pulled the interior plastics, seat, and flooring. Tossed all the flooring stuff since it fell apart when pulling it and everything was soaked. Not sure where all the liquid was coming in, and not sure exactly how I'm going to fix the rust yet. Any tips, tricks or suggestions welcome. Here's the damage and a picture or two of where the water was coming from on the passenger side. Never had any issues with rust in my Cherokee, I guess I lucked out there. I guess now is the time to learn rust repair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
