1062179 I agree bluebelle! Very well put! I am a mechanic and some of the comments I read are ridiculas. You also have to remember that some people for some reason just want to have the most posts. PLEASE when someone makes a comment please make sure you've experienced it or know about that...

1054664 That's cheap! 1.88 reg in Conneticut. Wait until we go to war with Iraq then we'll see some high gas prices. :-O [addsig]

1054665 It sounds like your fan clutch is not working. At idle it is turn too slow and not grasping the shaft. And at high speed it is just basically spinning on the shaft. Which would explain it wotking good at a normal speed 30-50mph. It is a cheap part about 25-40 bucks. Just make sure you...

1054667 Do a nutter bypass to eliminate the ecm. Doesn't cost a thing and it is easy fix. If that works upgrade to a juice box.[addsig]

1054668 If your still using the stock carb it is probably the choke. I have an 88 yj. I did all those cleaning tricks and rebuilt the carb but still had problems. I replaced it with a Weber, it still idled rough a little, then I did the nutter bypass, a little better but great, until I switched...

1054669 Also if your not the original owner of the jeep. if the person before you was a serious off roader the may have put a slimline oil pan that doesn't hang as low or hold as much oil.[addsig]

1054777 The grill insert just snaps in. When you want to open your hood you have to pop it out. It is not that bad but if you hit a good pothole you'll lose it.[addsig]

1054778 Use mirror movers and mount them on the windshield hinge.[addsig]

1054814 I don't know what part of the country your in but up here in the north east between October and March there is an additive they put in the fuel for emissions that drastically reduce your mileage?[addsig]

1054821 It was easy to find but the fix was not that easy. The 4 screw holes were so rusted out that the hole with the threads was so rusted they rusted out when I tried to get the screws out. So when I installed the new hinge I had no way to secure it. I bought 1/4 inch concrete anchors and...

1055603 The float bowl is the biggest port toward the top of the carb. It is on an angle. The other side should have a hex bolt on it that acts like a plug. It is so you can switch the port to either side of the carb. What ever is easiest for your installation. Your fuel filter should have 1...

1055605 DO NOT TAKE OFF THE NEEDLE OR THE FACE PLATE. You only have to do this if you want to add new faces. The plastic part of the bulb holders in the back of the speedo and all the other gauges twist 1/4 turn and pull out of the back of the gauge. Then you just pull out the bulb. You may...

1049398 I talked to a jeep mechanic he said to try and unplug the transmission and test drive it. It sounds like the torque converter is not unlocking. [addsig]

1049854 I just put a new jasper engine in my 88 YJ 6cyl. My gas mileage was horrible but after about 1000 miles on it it got much better it just needs to be broken in. [addsig]

1049919 Alarms don't work! they are easily disconnected even with ones that disable ignitions. The best way to protect it is a kill switch that only you know about. They tried to steal mine. They didn't get the jeep bet did damage to the door lock and ignition.[addsig]

1051746 I have an 88 and the light never comes on but It does go into 4wd. It is the solenoid sticking or bad. You can tell when it is and isn't in 4wd. So unless the light bothers you by a new solenoid or better yet get a posi lock.[addsig]

1051967 I have an 88 yj switch the carb. rebuild the transmission, and definitley get a juice box, It is an ignition upgrade. Even with a new carb it will still have some idle and accelerating problems. I couldn't passed 3,00 to 3,500 rpms without the enginge misfiring. The juice box puts in a...

1052088 Your probably better off going to a junk yard? Any chrysler or gm car with the same type of switch will work.[addsig]

1052183 No it can't. The check engine light is for emission sensors. It also may go off by a timer that is located on the firewall between your gas pedal and heat duct.[addsig]
