1072184 Its a 4 banger right now, though I have plans for an chevy small block perhaps ;) I like to think big, but right now i'd just lvoe to get my little monster back on the road. So its a 4 cylinder 97 wrangler... that wont start... heh[addsig]

1072189 Check my codes? I dont think I quite udnerstand. And lol, no im not exactly sure how anything works mechanicly, though i have a general idea i think. I havent had a chance to really get greasy and familiarize myself with my little monster with a good ole' college try, but if someone...

1072191 alright, i got a 12 and then a 55... i think unless i somehow screwed that up. As far as i can tell however my bettery cables are connected and it is cranking which wouldnt happen if the cables wernt connected right? Maybe clean the connections with a wire brush?[addsig]

1072270 ok well heres an update, and mow im even more confsued. This morning i went outside to start it... and it ran. It soudned like it was ideling a bit low. So i turned it off and tired it again and again it caught and fired, but just barly. Then the third time i tried the ignition it...

1072282 no the engine is turning over, its just not firing. I did the check again and ocne again im getting a 12 and then a 55. (beleive it or not not only do the flashed tell you but the odometer flashes the number as well) Would a spark plug be the culprit? it seems like the starter is...

1072322 alright, after pulling off the air workings and getting down to the trotle body ive checked that all sensors were tight etc. As far as cleaning them? what should i clean and what should i pull apart? I crawled under the jeep to make sure the cps was tight. So maybe a problem with...

1072335 new update, well if you give it gas at just the right time while turning the key it will fire. But you have to keep your foot on the accelerator, because it will die if just left to idle. Any ideas from any1? Maybe fuel related issue? [addsig]

1072342 well i'll be damned, i reved up the engine and got it started, took a ride, put in some 93 octane and it seems to be working fine for now. What i noticed however was when i went to let it idle it would drop real low... like 400 rpms then it would seem to catch itself and push itself...

1072429 Does anyone know about rhino liner for jeeps? Like if i were to prep the jeep by pulling all the seats and the carpet would they do a layer of rhino liner to the inside? That would be truly incredible, though i would imagine it would have to be expensive, seeing as they would have to...

1072430 thanks higgins, i appreciate it, i'll send it now[addsig]

1072730 I was thinking Dana 44's because a V8 engine i was told could easily twist out the dana 30 and 35 that come with the jeep. Yeah, i think i'll do the herculiner, im all about doing all the jeep work myself. [addsig]

1072742 thats fine, i was just worried that i would flood the message board with too many seperate posts, you know, i dont want to look like a spammer.[addsig]

1072767 Hey, I just turned 18 six days ago, so untill that point technicaly i still was a kid when i got my jeep. And for what its worth... as a kid... i really like the jeep ;)[addsig]

1072782 Ummm, you may be right with the AC thing, but i had the same experience once. I think i may have just left my door ajar because the next time it rained i made sure the doors were shut tight and it never happened again.... are you sure ur door was tightly closed?[addsig]

1072996 You got to be careful though, every now and then you see a pretty girl driving a jeep, and they rarely wave back. So if your just waving and looking like an idiot.. its bad news. Me i go for the cool approach, like, real non-chalant like you lift your fingers from the grip on the...
