The Heat shield part # 1-cbxcb060


and for the injector fix its part #56028371AA





-------------------------------------------

TSB1803103 - 4.0L ROUGH ENGINE IDLE AFTER RESTART FOLLOWING A HOT SOAK
Date: 09/05/03 (supercedes 1802702 dated 09/06/02)
Model Year(s): 1999-2004

Description: NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 4.0L engine. This bulletin involves the installation of a fuel injector insulator sleeve.

Details: Customers may describe a 20 to 30 second rough idle following the restart of a heat soaked engine. This condition may be most noticeable when the engine is restarted following a prior 10 to 20 minute heat soak in hot ambient conditions of approximately 32 C (90ºF) or higher. This condition may be consistent with short city stop-and-go driving trips and can be aggravated by the use of fuel with a high ethanol content. Depending upon various conditions a MIL may occur due to DTC P0303 - Cylinder #3 Misfire.

This condition may be caused by heat from the exhaust manifold that following engine shut down migrates to the area around injector #3 and causes fuel vapor to form within the injector. This in turn may cause a momentary misfire of cylinder #3 until the fuel vapor is cleared of injector #3. The insulator sleeve lowers the injector #3 temperature to a point below which the fuel will not normally vaporize.

If vehicle exhibits a rough idle, and if a misfire of cylinder #3 is observed following a 10 to 20 minute hot soak, perform the Repair Procedure.

Parts required:
56028371AA Ignition Wire Shield

Repair procedure:
1. Cut insulator sleeve, p/n 56028371AA, to make two (2) insulator sleeves about 25-30 mm (1 in.) in length. See diagram.
2. Install one sleeve around injector #3, with the slit on the upward facing side of the injector. Install the other sleeve with the slit on the downward facing side of the injector.
3. Confirm sleeve is flush to intake manifold surface around injector.
4. Check injector #3 wire and ensure that the injector is rotated to a 2 o'clock position.

I just wrapped my fuel rail and injectors with heat resistance tap.. That stopped the heat soak for me..

tsd fix didn't really work for me. i really think my xj doesn't like winter fuel. i did do the delay fan mod , if i get a couple requests i can make a video showing function , i used a turbo timer instead of the other delay timers that are on this forum.. use relay and diode also. pm me so i can get motivated to make a youtube video. it cost me 20 dollars to make and has a digital display and is easy to set the time.. let me know guys. check out my channel on youtube if you get a chance. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSv...view_as=public

My 01 has both of those and has had a heat soak episode about 4 times in 5 years. Last time was this last fall and it was a cool day. It does run a tad warmer than my 98's. It's just hit 200k though and likely original cooling system. It's time for a flush and all this spring.

Oh. And I get a random misfire code along with the cylinder 3 misfire every time.
