    Losing Oil Pressure Under Acceleration!!

    Ok, final update on this post. After running through a ton of diagnostics, finally found a small break in the voltage wire between the map sensor and the PCM. Funny how one little wire can send a world of hurt through your motor! Replaced the wire and we are running good as gold....until the...

    Losing Oil Pressure Under Acceleration!!

    So for an update: Oil gauge problem turned out to be the OSU. Good deal. Fixed it with no problems. Changed the IAC while I was at it since I had a code for that also. NOWWWW (and doesn't this seem normal for us Jeep owners...ughh) as I am test driving just to make sure nothing is wonky, I...

    Losing Oil Pressure Under Acceleration!!

    Hey folks, need some advice, 2k TJ, 2.5L Got the oil changed today, and now the oil pressure is actually lowering under acceleration, even to the point where it hits 0 and the check gauges light will come on. However, if I let off and keep it steady, the pressure returns to 50-60. Sitting at...

    Odd Electrical Issue

    2k TJ 2.5, and the other day I was driving and lost the blinkers, radio, and wipers. Hoping it was a fuse, I checked them all and they seem fine. What is odd is when I pulled the wiper fuse, there was something I went to check and when I turned the key on, the blinkers and radio worked just...

    Scraping Noise Help -2k TJ

    Was the dust shield. One tiny part on the bottom was bent just enough.

    Scraping Noise Help -2k TJ

    Changed u-joints on a 2000 TJ SE Did the front axle pull, checked everything and reassembled. So far so good, but when turning right after a certain point there is a scraping sound as if something is hitting the rotor. It almost sounds like the dust shield, but I wouldn't think it is that...

    Will 2" Spacers need a TC lowering kit?

    Good deal. I was thinking probably not, but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

    Will 2" Spacers need a TC lowering kit?

    Looking at doing just a simple 2" Rear Coil Spacer lift and a 2.75" on the front (winch weight compensation) Would I need to lower the TC with that small amount of lift? You guy's thoughts.. Thanks, B

    Idle Issue with Clutch Engaged

    Hey all, Thanks for the great advice. Cleaned the throttle and sensors, and was still getting a 2000 rpm idle, so used the tb cleaner and sprayed all around as JPN suggested. After going around the hoses with no results, I decided just to spray at random, and she choked up when I hit the...

    Idle Issue with Clutch Engaged

    Have a 2000 TJ 2.5, and wondering if anyone else has had this problem. When coming to a stop, when I push the clutch in, the engine revs up about 400-500 rpm (around 1500), not a lot, but noticeable, and then when I come to a stop it returns to normal, around 800. Engine idles fine, no...

    Coolant Mystery

    Well, have the final verdict....NEW ENGINE!! Yup, we thought it was the front freeze plug, so went about getting that changed, and when we pressurized the system after the new plug, we noticed it was still leaking. Son of a..... lol. Turns out, there was about a 1/16" hole in the block...

    Coolant Mystery

    Well, I finally had to bite the bullet and take it in. Luckily I have a friend with a mechanic shop close by. After checking anything I was at a loss, just could not find that leak. Then at the parts store when I was picking up the new rad cap, I noticed a slow leak coming from under the bell...

    Coolant Mystery

    Thanks for the suggestions all! Engine temp runs between 190-210 at full warm up. On the reservoir, I have only filled it to the full line, never all the way up. I haven't thought about burping it though, that's a good idea and will def give that a run. I will check the water pump...
