This is on an 04 TJ with the inline 6, NV3550. For a little while now there has been this strange whistling noise. I can recreate the noise perfectly. It doesn't present itself until about 25 mph in 3rd gear. If I am cruising in 3rd with my foot barely on the throttle going 25 it stays whistling...

Hello all, today I am posting about my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. A little backstory... I have had this Jeep for about a year now. I bought it used, with 130K miles, and now it has 150K. A couple months ago I started hearing a ticking noise from the engine that would match the speed of the RPMs. Fast...

Hi, I've got a 1987 Comanche, 4.0L automatic with a sticky throttle. It doesn't reliably return to idle after letting off the gas. This problem has been happening for years, but lately it's gotten so bad that I don't feel comfortable driving it. I removed the throttle cable today to see if...

Okay so I have the style throttle linkage pictured in the attached images and this will probably be a quick and easy answer. I'm just not sure where the spring it's talking about in the instructions comes from originally. I don't recall there being a spring ever connected to the throttle linkage...

Hey all, So I came across something simple, yet probably very worthwhile for anyone doing the OM-617 diesel conversion. I'm doing this on an 1987 YJ. I'd note that I'm not the most mechanically inclined, and had been worried about how I was going to connect the throttle. The throttle for the...

Let me start off by saying this is my first ever car, I know little to nothing about cars. It all started Monday, two days ago. I went to the gas station to fill up the jeep, the nozzle stopped only about halfway through the fillup. I turned on the engine and the tank was only about half way...

I just bought a used 2015 Compass with 39K miles. It was driving great without issue until a couple weeks later a company had to come up and install a gps device for the lender. The first time I drove it I saw the check engine light on and then a few miles later the etc light started flashing...

Hi, all. I own a 2008 Jeep Compass (automatic transmission) with about 53,000 miles on it. I'm thinking of replacing the throttle body because of some recent issues I've had, but I'd like to get a second opinion on it first before I spend money on something that might not solve my problem...

Hey everyone, I have a '97 Jeep Cherokee Sport, around 187,000 miles on the odometer. Once a month or so, I will have a day where when I accelerate, the RPM's will surge up and down, but it will feel like it is coasting, as if I do not have my foot on the pedal. There is also an audible...

Hey, Jeep TJ Wrangler 2000, 6 cylinder 4.0 - Standard As the title says, when im idle my vehicles RPM start to go up and down. While I am driving, it starts to stumble like somebody is rocking it back and forth. I also have some issues starting the vehicle (sometimes). I searched my problem...

Hi all! I just picked up a 94 ZJ laredo last week and drove it from MA to NY. The car is in phenomenal shape (Owner was the mechanic for the fire department on a small island. He kept incredible records of every little thing with the ZJ. He passed and his widow wanted to get rid of it. Only 110k...

I just purchased this 08 JK with the stock 3.8 . I have began experiencing a problem where the engine speed drops and begins running quit rough. When this happens the dash light emits the traction warning symbol, red lighting bolt symbol as well as the engine symbol. The engine does not die. If...

So guys I have a 1997 ZJ with the 4.0 I6 in it with 217,700 miles. When the temp gets to about 20 degrees or lower outside then I'll get in to start it and it will start just fine but then I can only push the accelerator down about 1/4 of and inch then it's stuck. I can shove my foot through it...

Okay so I noticed today that if I push on the gas while driving and get going at least 20 mph, when I completely let off the gas the jeep will keep going 20 MPH and won't stop? Please help

Edit: Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum... sorry can't figure out how to delete or move it. I just bought a 97 ZJ on Saturday from a private party. Drove and looked great, had a write-up from a garage giving it a full workover and thumbs up. It's a primarily stock vehicle...

On my 93 YJ, I've been having some problems. First, its not starting right up, gotta pump the gas. Look like a doof in the parking lot as everyone notices that my vehicle didn't start right away. After that the Check Engine light comes on, as i burn off a quarter tank of gas driving 7...

Ok I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I have a 98 cherokee that I just replaced the thermostat and housing gasket on yesterday. She ran fine all day yesterday and today up until I was driving home and I noticed there seemed to be a lack of power and response when I hit the gas. Later in...

Alright guys, I'm in need of some real help. I can't figure this out to save my life. I got a 2000 TJ about 3 weeks ago, with a rebuilt 4.0, 5 sp. I'm having a couple of issues that seem to be polar opposistes of one another, but they're both intermittent. I'm just going to list all the things...

It's been about 25K since I last cleaned the throttle body. So, I did it recently and am here to report back my results: 1. It was very easy and very quick. The whole thing took about 25 minutes in total 2. I ended up getting a replacement gasket online shipped for about $6.50 (Fel-pro 61467)...

Couldn't find a write up on here, so I thought that I would post one just in case anyone else needs the information on how to do this! My TPS was failing, which is exhibited by loss of power during acceleration and an unsteady idle. My TJ started throwing a CEL last September but never had any...
