heads up from weird running etc! what i found from the fuel filter which was changed last year ,gas etc poured in clean bowl-nice tiny black /silver flakes show up ...ok i know that means .....damn oh yes it gets better ! pull the pump unit - the filter sock had more black /silver flakes but the topper was the hose from the pump to pipe ,its more like a strainer ROTTEN HOSE!! yes all was R & R !!!how sweet is she running again ! so please listen to your MJ ,she will tell you -i have a problem ,fix me please !!i did!

the pic looks backwards and mixed up -valve cover layout is backwards -vacuum bottle is for the heater/acc ...

the TBI vs. MPI the pumps are different again so watch your step again ...

thxs for that one....yes i have a gauge ...will check friday at the pit!

its a 2.5 -1989 mj ok she runs good cold /starts no troubles but when you dive hot or cold slow down below 25 mph AT times cuts out -pop the clutch starts again .... yes this is very baffling one i hope this helps a bit more !

so far my ''MJ'' was of the best transport ! now a strange trouble started out of the blue - has follows driving along taking foot off of gas and hitting the clutch ,short of stopping -off of the gas ...engine trembles or dies or both but pop the clutch if dieing it starts again like nothing was bad ! so looked over all of most things i know of the MJ ....anybody run in this one before ???

a cat can snowball closed some/all flow ! look over all above !!

BINGO i hope for you ....all is well soon! please let us know how its doing on your MJ ?,ok !thxs

i have this one on other cars and etc ..end play is wore out plus weights are griding away the insides ....pick ups are hit plus bushings worn ......reman at auto zone,a good buy !

One cylinders dead. And I have a problem with blowby as well as a cracked exhaust manifold. dead like no compression? how many miles on her ? cracked manifold they are cheap if you R&R this don't use a gasket but polish both sides and use copper RTV very thinly -tighten to 25 fPs ...blow by smoke how bad ? pvc system not working ???

sorry about your commie state codes! 02 is my vote... i believe in replacing them in three year or 60,000 miles intervenes like Bosch says ..... and yes another is how is your thermostat doing ?? if its stuck open cooling too much you will go rich too and talk of temps engine coolant temp sensor maybe going bad too ...grab a VOM and start testing some...

a bunch of intake firing back firing ? and no power ? too lean and /or ignition cap carbon tracked - i seen intake vacuum leaks around the injectors etc also look at the fuel pressure regulator which is overlooked a lot -see if its leaking fuel and psi of the system !

anybody worked with the high altitude CPS yet? i know it advances the ignition app. 10* but it do the same to the fuel system as well -any kind of troubles with this ???

i would not trust a helicoil in this use but at fastenal sells a harden steel treaded insert oversize with normal theards inside ,it red lockited in .this works well like new ....

well ,here's one to bend your head around on ........look /get some coil over shocks for the s-10 pick-up cut the top cross bar off and install !! wwww!!! they work!!

get an auto one with floor shift ... but the gear shift lock can be lock out, i did it to my - i don't like tilt wheel they are weaker ...so choose wisely ...

a heads up on the lub to use on linkage -from working on M.benz for years now and their school.....ATF 2/3 with STP oil 1/3 this mix is great for most things etc short of sex ...i heard it was tried there too ! :jump:

one of the cheapest power boost was using ford 300 L-6 rocker arms but must cut [top side where the pvc plate area] the rocker arm for valve cover clearance -this is now 3 years old mod no trouble ! this is what i am doing right now ---a MPI manifold to TBI set up ,hopefully better torque ..... :wrench:

[1]please add one more if you have power brakes -the brake master [brake fluid ]is leaking to vacuum booster

this is the one ! MOOG !! i have been working on autos etc for 30 some years -moog is my first tier ! for grease conklin rhino -this combo works very well --stay way from the white box parts -made in china by little old lady !

i have a understanding how things work with 2.5 .but if you get better volumetric flow both intake/exhaust better hp/mpg both count here ....so stock exhaust manifold is good but know to crack i have heard is this true? ''catch a trouble spot before hell is to paid'' thxs

i am looking for the better header for the 2.5 liter with m/t ,2 wheel drive set up ? anybody played with them of different makes,tested them for life/power out put yet?

This is pretty much what I am suspecting to be the problem . It looks as if the windshield is brand new and after lifting the carpet there doesn't appear to be any earlier evidence of wetness , I.E. there is no rust that can be seen . I'm thinkin' that this is the first time this floor has ever gotten wet . Looking at the bottom corners of the windshield , I suspect this area is the culprit . Thanks all , Dave I pulled the wipers and the cowl plate to see if maybe that was filling with water and dumping into the cab somehow but that trough is dry . I can't see where that drains . Any ideas ? I'm still thinkin' that it's windshield . :wall: i had a leak under the cowl plate -the drains where clogged and resealed the air intake with rtv with weather stripe -if you do have leak no more how big/small look under the carpet for rust ......

please don't laugh but this alcohol in the fuel as been a pain with o2 senors ,injectors too plus some intake gaskets ,fuel pumps etc in other words hell on the where fuel touches...
