Just something I ran into here and I'm wondering if the Chiltons book is right related to timing. This is the order of the spark plugs etc on the cap. #2 being at the front. Distributor rotor at 3 o'clock when installed correctly. So, is this what yours looks like? Everyone says the rotor...

Long time listener, first time caller. I'll try to make this short. I have a 1995 2.5L 5 speed manual. Rebuilt the entire engine due to a blown piston skirt. Had about 215,000 on it. I also added a 2.5inch lift running 31x10.50. Started up and ran fine the other day after a 4 year sit while I...

My '99 TJ 2.5L broke down in the highway this past weekend. Felt a thump in the engine, cut the power, and pulled over in the breakdown lane. After my tow I ran some diagnostics - my oil level was high, about 2-3 times the recommended capacity. I emptied the oil pan to find a ton of radiator...

Looking for any and all advice on an engine replacement. I'm a relative novice when it comes to engine work, so hear me out here. I've got a 2000 TJ Wrangler with the ol' 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. It recently developed a knocking, and as opposed to diagnosing and attempting to fix whatever is...

I was looking at TJs where I happen to be at the moment (Boston -- it's funny to be looking at jeeps in salt country when I'm from the south), and found this 2.5l for a pretty low mileage of 69k, at a pretty low price of $5900. I have not looked at it yet to see past the dark poorly taken...

Hey Folks, I'm new here. I was driving my Jeep YJ home one day and it slowly died. I was driving around 100kph and then the power started to lag and it slowly just stopped working as I cam to a stop. I did the usual distributor, rotor and cap, coils, plugs and still didn't work. I went and...

Hey everyone, New to fixing my own jeeps, and looking for some advice. I have an 02 2.5L Wrangler. I've been having a problem with it idling high. At stop lights after it warms up, it kind of revs itself up to 2000 and goes back to 1500 at a constant up and down. Today I had to drive longer...

Found this puppy by chance and I've been looking for a Jeep for a while now and settled with this beaut. My goal is to clean this Jeep up, make it MINE, and love it. I've always wanted a Jeep and I finally have one that I'm happy with, just want to fix it up cosmetically and mechanically. It's a...

WHAT HAPPENED: I have a 99 TJ 2.5l 5speed with 174xxx miles on it. The idle has been rough lately, but not enough to seriously worry me. I drove to work (10mi or so), the Jeep sat for 10 hours, fired right up and note even a mile down the road, it starts backfiring, lurching and jumping, the...

I have a 1989 YJ with 2.5L 4cyl engine. Recently been having weird idle issues. It seems to vary between 1200rpm to 1800rpm. Sometimes got up to 3000, but after a couple seconds, comes back down. Not sure where to start. As I'm a Jeep noob, I would appreciate any help possible.

Hi, new here, considering a jeep purchase(first). I've always wanted a jeep but the 87 Jeep Cherokee 2.5L is a bit older than I ever imagined getting. I still have to check it with a mechanic before I purchase but I wanted to know 2 things: Are they reliable as daily drivers and whats the price...

1995 YJ with a 2.5L, 4 banger. When I leave for work, it cranks without problem, when I leave work after it has been sitting all day, it cranks. Only issue is if I stop on the way home or to work. It will turn over and seem as if it has no fuel. After 10-15 sometimes as much as 30 mins it...
