My fuel tank no longer has a vacuum when I open the cap. My check engine light is on and Im sure the two are related. I have changed the cap. any ideas? 2005 rubicon i6

Im looking to buying a winch for my 05 rubicon. Any input of favorites or ones to stay away from? Electric or hydraulic? What rating? Overkill is usually nice but I dont care to spend more than I have too and dont need to take up the whole grill.

$2.80/Gal for gas, $80.00/Gal coffee. talk about mixed up priorities. Columbia should be next on our list.

speed is directly proportional to $$$. If you want to beat the local rice rockets, you are going to need a lot of h.p. just to overcome the weight and front surface area of a civic. Id say at least 35-400Hp to beat out a mildly tuned civic or lancer. The next problem is finding an engine...

hey guys I just bought an 05 rubicon and i was wondering what issues i have to look forward to (if any). I still have my 94 yj and i guess i can start turning it into a beast and do all the things i was a little hesitant to start. my weird stall issue turned out to be a bad wire going to the...

Just wondering how big a problem i can expect swapping out my dads auto for a direct replacement. '96 with a 6 auto. Im no master mechanic, but i swapped the transmission in my yj last fall. anything i should have problems with?

RE: death wobble woes... is it a tilt wheel or non-tilt ? i have the fsm but there 10 pages for each. which one do you need

Front Differential Problem Hey Guys here is one for ya. a friend has an '03 tj with a six. she says on cold days when you start it, it whistles for about 10 seconds. the dealer (as usual) has no ideas. Anyone here have an idea? On a second note: My 94 yj 4 banger spent most of the winter...

now is the time to get involved hey guys, I have a '96 grand cherokee with 6 and automatic transmission. How do I tell what Transmission is in it. it is leaking pretty bad and needs to come out for at least an overhaul if not replacement. It has 327,000 mi on it but is in beautiful shape...

OBD II didnt come out till 96. You can also use the ignition to tell you the fault codes. Check out this link they have good info on the chrysler engines. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/fault/index.html if you want manuals check out www.autopaper.com I got a 2.5l powertrain diagnostics...

ive had it started but it wont stay running. the last time it ran it sounded good but after a mile or so it quit for no reason. then it was hard to start once it got going again it quit after driving a few blocks then followed that pattern for a little while. i parked it that day (last sat) and...

stock rim size ok here is what i have so far. still no go on keeping this going. I am pretty sure that it is an ignition problem and not fuel related. If i crank it long enough i start to smell gas which tells me that it is moving somewhere. I havent tested the pressure at the fuel rail though...

I ran thru a bottle of drygas and then filled up with super. then ran a second bottle and its on the second tank of super. if i can get it running at least a little more consistantly i want to run through some seafoam. Any experiance with that stuff? I've heard it is good stuff but you have...

im at the end of my rope. I have whined and complained enough about my '94YJ that is starting/running intermittently. BUT have a favor to ask. I just replaced my cps and want to test a theory i heard. I was told that there would be no reading on the tach if the cps was bad. Can someone...

not the crank position sensor just tried replacing my cps. didnt work on mine. let me know what else you have tried and what happens.
