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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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

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

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...

Oops, just noticed my error....title should say Clutch Disengaged. (clutch pedal pushed IN) Sorry!

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...

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...

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...

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...

Sounds like good advice. I'm an intermediate with mechanical and upgrades, so I take in all advice. On a different subject now, hijacking my own post...I am looking to snorkel my TJ soon. Nearly all I've seen that are in my price range say they are for the 4.0. Will these fit the 2.5? I...

I haven't had any fogging, but I will def check that heater core. Thanks for the direction. If said heater core turns out to be the problem, is it pretty much a replacement issue, or is there an additive that will plug up small leaks? (like radiator stop leak) There hasn't been any coolant in...

Hey all, wanted to see if anyone could give me some ideas I might have overlooked. I have a 2000 TJ 2.5. The other day I was changing the oil, and noticed the coolant reservoir was empty. Filled it to the full line, and after the change, drove it about 20 min then came back. Coolant...

Yeah, broke her down and turns out it was a rod. I have been looking for an excuse for a new motor anyway....SOOOO while I'm on that, can anyone tell me or does anyone have experience on this? Will the 4.0 match up with the same transmission from the 2.4, or do you have to change everything...

Only tried digging myself out in 4 LO a couple of times, but didn't overdo it. 150K miles on the motor. Went to change the oil this morning when it was cool, barely had any in it. Went ahead with the change, and pressure was up to normal for just a few minutes. Def clanking internally. I'm...
