So over the years, Blue's little fourbanger has always had a little valve rattle somewhere around 2k rpm (normally when shifting from 2nd to 3rd). But recently it has seemingly gotten a little louder and significantly more frequent. It now happens pretty much always at startup; Briefly then...

After running blue for the first time after putting in a new thermostat & gasket, and flushing the radiator and heater core, I have the surprise of the temps not going up as high is the normally would. The new thermostat is a 180, from some of the sources I read that doesn’t make a difference...

I recently started up blue after a couple weeks of sitting while I replaced some gaskets and did some maintenance, That includes: Valve cover, manifold, Tb, Oil pan, and thermostat housing gaskets, plugs and wires, and an attempt at fixing my 4wd via a broken vacuum line (that’s where I think...

Whilst doing a valve cover & manifoldgasket replacement on my 2.5 wrangler, I found the guts on my motor are pretty nasty, now I’m looking for people’s takes on flushing the motor and if so what with? so far my research has told me high zinc motor oils, atf, varsol/turpentine, and kerosene...

Hey. I have a !994 jeep yj and the windshield wipers have stopped working last week and i replaced the motor and it worked. The other night it was raining and they stopped working again. What could cause this to happen? I dont know if there is too much stress from the linkage that it burns...

99 TJ 2.5 L Engine RPMs drop to 200 or stalls at stop This has been a problem for the past month or so... Whenever the jeep is cold and when I come to a complete stop 1 of three things will happen. 1. Good solid idle. 2. Idle drops to 2-3hundred kind of *kicks* then goes back to normal 3. Idle...

I recently purchased a 2001 2.5L engine to put into my 1995 YJ that had a 2.5 until I blew it up. My old motor, which I still have, is MPFI just like the new one. I know that I must change the intake and the exhaust manifold as well as the oil pan and valve cover. What other parts do I need...

Hello fellow Jeepers. Ive got a strange issue and Im hoping somebody can help me find something maybe I have over looked. Ive owned my 1995 YJ for three and a half years. I bought it with 216,000 miles on it, and it now has 240,000 miles on the odometer. In that time Ive been using it as a...

I just changed my stock exhaust manifold. I installed a Dorman replacement. The install included new manifold and gasket (intake and exhaust all in one). Bolted everything up exactly how it came off. Tried to start the jeep. It just turns over and over and over. No starting not even trying to...

[SOLVED] 1991 Jeep YJ Chugging, HELP! Solution: I replaced the fuel pump, fuel strainer, and the fuel filter. The fuel filter just needed replaced because of regular buildup, and the fuel pump had little to no output power. Also the fuel strainer had metal shavings inside from the the broken...

I have in the past couple months been having issues upon starting my tj. It starts fine every time: It's only once I start that I have rough idling. If I'm pressing on the accelerator it doesn't seem to be an issue. Also once I start driving it, the engine starts to cut out almost, in which case...

So I purchased a new valve cover for my 88 2.5liter wrangler, but it didn't fit. In the FAQ's section of the sellers site the manufacturer states this, "Due to the thermal dynamic nature of plastics the covers might have some natural deflection when they are released from the mold. When...

I bought a replacement engine two weeks ago and am now in the process of trying to get the engine in. Everyone who I've asked has said that an engine replacement is easy. Well, that is obviously not the case. After about 12 hours of work over two days with three guys, we're still stuck. We...

My buddy and i just bought a 1997 tj, the guy said he overheated and blew the head gasket, i replaced the gasket re seated the valves and put all new top end gaskets on (like i should do) and all torque specs were exact, still very low compression... this is beyond the point... i have a 2.5...

Hey guys I recently bought my first jeep about 2 weeks ago. I've been treating it nicely with engine/tranny/diff/trans case oil and lube changes as well as many other misc maintanence part replacements (cap, rotor, NGK plugs, wires etc). Everything is working like grade A champ except an engine...

I have a 2.5L 4 cyl, I have recently replaced the head gasket due to milky oil. I have cleaned every inch on the engine i could during the tear down. Changed the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. But it still sputters in low rpm. Its sputters when you start out in any gear also...

The jeep is a 1990 with the 2.5l and it would not idle when it was cold, but ran fine when it was warmed up, so I replaced the IAC. The new part didn't have the bolt in the end (I don't know if this is common or not) so I tried to thread it in as much as it was on the old one and everything...

2000 Wrangler 2.5L 4 Cyl. In the beginning of the summer my heat stopped working, which was fine then. Now that it's cooling down I need this fixed. I blew out my heater core thinking it was blocked up. It worked for about a day then stopped. I brought it to a different guy and he said...
