well i have family and friends in Germany ,they are piss-off over the fuel with alcohol ! its causing a lot of trouble from carbon up the back of the intake valves to killing o2 sensors loss of mileage etc -i have seen some of what talking about ! http://www.straightdope.com/columns/rea ... ood-or-bad and BWM came out its not good !!!oh the flex-fuel is a big pile of crap too!!! i have been putting a crap of o2 sensors last 5 years more than before at 60,000 mile mark ,now you get 30,000 miles with luck !!

this jeep is not bad to work on ,but this part is driving me very mad ! mislabeled parts ,label says u.s sizes 3/8'' / 3/16 but its metric 10mmx1mm and china made !! is there any us made brakes out there left ??? :wall: :fs2:

test light and wiring diagram ...who has the wiring diagram ??!!

the best way to find your leaks [clean /degrease before]is to add UV dye to one part at time and run for about 100 miles next sweep/scan with uv light ......only fix what is needed

what the hell a ''clean jeep'' WOW!!!!like a pig in the mud ,jeeps are the same ....

Do you honestly believe that China produces Jeep unit bearings on their own initiative? Products that are made in China are made to their customers' specifications. And these customers are American companies. The Chinese are perfectly capable of producing auto parts of the highest quality. They have sent men into outer space so I'm sure they can make a top-notch Jeep unit bearing. But their American customers give them a set price point, which is usually pretty low, in order to maximize profits. I used to work for an American athletic shoe company and we had factories in China and Korea. So I have seen this first hand. We would tell the factories to skimp and cut corners in order to reduce costs, usually against their objections. The factories wanted to produce the best product they could, but we would say no. i have heard this one before and it very true -i have some tools from china -fit and finish is very good so far no broken one at 25 years still running strong ....the bottom line crap or the deal of cheap from the glory of the minute to hours of pains !!!

this 1994 jeep is a Cherokee sport ...what rust does to things as i was the R&R the differential [talk about pinion bearing wore out like more then 3/4'' back lash and one cracked axle too] the brake line in the back just peel apart too ,DAMN work,more parts !!! wow what can jeeps take still work ,but the newer ones cars and trucks NOT like this made !!would you all say the same ?? thxs

4 or 6 ? ok one mod cheap and works well ...please don't flame me on this one ! get some new ford 300 '' rocker arms that knocks the lift in the mid .400's without spring bind or wear... Wait what? I've been working with Jeeps for a few years now and I've never heard this one before. How did you come across this? ok i have been working for 30 some years on cars and trucks plus a bit of racing too...we found to cheat at times if a configuration of a different part is close and get a gain ,it may be overlooked by the techy ,hey we win ....i had to seal my valve cover one day ,4 years ago and seen the rockers ...said damn i seen this rocker arm config before .....next went to the tool box found one new in the package ...match it up the fulcrum point its about a 1/8'' closer to the pivot .next i took one rocker arm off one put it on turned engine slowly with feeler gauge at the highest point lift over .050 spacing -no binding turned the rest of the way slowly ....win ok all stop got more of them but one trouble was the valve cover ... the plastic one part of the pcv baffle area will hit so grind or cut [easy]so no hit is done --hand turn of engine is needed .... i have 60,000 miles so far plus other mods on her .....working well ...

sir sam please try ez zip cut off wheels for the dremel tool -they cut very well with a good screw driver tip with a 1/4'' bit/1/4 ratchet back out ...and i use crc freeze it too

now that is a real ouch!! :agree: :grrrr:

the motor mount bracket [the one going to the block ] all three bolts where broken off in the block ! what a pain ! cut with bolt with a ez cutting wheel on a dremil tool with flex drive app. 1/8'' and turn out the stub with straight blade screw driver bit on a ratchet ...it has now 3 grade ''8''studs /nuts /lock washers ......waiting for parts ...

please add in vacaum leaks in map sensor hose and bad grounds ...

this is abit tricky to do ..get a GM coolant sensor from a 3.1 liter 1991 firebird ..fun time grind out to threadable size for 1/4 pipe thread ---use of teflon paste ...make a plug-in harness not cutting ome one ...i hope this can help anybody with cold start troubles ..

i was working on a honda civic the other day ,what got me the reaction of the engine system to OUTLAW spark plugs i found in it ...it was three months the owner had a tune up shop put them things in it .talk about missing ,back firing etc so what plugs are them ? heard of ''E3 plugs '' ! please don't use them outlaw crappy __________things !

great to hear this ! keep the old timers running !!

nice pictures ! but what kind of hose did you use? i hope the 180 psi muti fuel FI hose -from a ghost from the past

external fuel pump ??,this is not a good idea ! volvo use this one ,a primer pump in the tank and main one outside !! oh yes what kind of fuel hoses you used for the MJ ? i hope 180 psi rated muti-fuel hoses ,yes, you will need 18'' of both 3/8 - 5/16 and 3.5 '' of this 5/16 180 psi for transfer hose -pump to out pipe .....the muti fuel 180 psi hose runs about 9.75 a foot ,don't use anything else or fuel leaks and fires !!!

that is a plug facing the driver's side fender on the TBI unit -look at both fuel lines on back now to the plug the fuel psi is around 14 pounds ..

2nd this call ! take off the valve cover and look at springs ,arms ... also if all is good looking ,do a compression test on all with this look at the plugs see any damage ? if ouch !

please don't laugh but my MJ has Monroe s-10 coil spring over shocks - the cross bar [on the top]is cut and install plus it lifts it up too ....take a look this one

X2 My Girlfriend's XJ had some serious knocking/tranny issues... tightened the flex plate bolts and it was fine... for a week, till the tranny $#!&. :doh: my .02 cents is flex plate can be cracked !

under the front bumper on the passenger/right side is a vacuum bottle with 4 hose barbs ..hoses travel by the battery to water valve and manifold vac. ..this can give you fits if any of the hoses leak ! trust me on this one ,my friend's MJ had this leak bad !!

i am sorry to hear some states have commie codes like that ! i don't like that crap tree hugging which it does not help !!

thank you all ! well the old rules by Bosch still runs true again , check the filter trash -you see black/silver flakes the pump is on the way out .....
