2 things...
1. 4L, 91, all of a sudden was hard to start (fire), sputtered, and smelled a lil funny. Smell could have honestly been stihl Chainsaw, but seems like didn't smell except when I started rig. Ran better down highway, idled rough when still.

I am thinking fuel filter?

2. I just installed a set of RC adjustable lca's. I cranked the bolts that attached the arms to axle and frame with impact. Experiencing some popping noises. Any suggestions?

Not sure on #1 but I just finished my whole suspension lift and there was a lot of popping and noises for the first few days. It's mostly all gone away now so I would just assume it's the suspension settling on those new lca's. Also, I would make sure to torque them to the proper foot pounds.

New issue, was out wheeling today and my jeep would randomly die when going up or down a climb... it wouldn't start right back up, but if I let it cool to below about 200 it'd fire right back up.. any suggestions? It didn't do it every time I did a climb, and it never did it while driving on the roads and had never done it prior to today. 97 xj country, motor only has 2500 miles on it..

Got some paper that you need to hold down?

#1. No idea. Pull olugs and see if fouled. Could have a leaky injector.

#2 when you tightened down the bolts was the weight of the rig on the axle or was it jacked up?

Outlaw Star

It's an AWD transfer case with only 4HI, N and 4LO. It's very heavy. Unless its going into a full-size, wouldn't bother with it.

1988 jeep Cherokee 4 dr power locks windows


Drivers window switch doesn't work for just the driver window. It used to only work when I held the switch and slowly found a sweet spot while opening and closing the door. Now it doesn't work at all, only for that window. All the other windows work no matter what position the driver door is in. I believe when opening and closing the door either the switch is loosing power of the switch has power and while holding it and finding the sweet spot the wires to the window motor are not getting power.

I'm looking to rig up a switch or something to the window motor to get it to work properly. Where would I start. I assume a 2 way toggle with a center off position would work but how would I wire it in to power the window up and down.

Any help is appreciated, also I have looked for bare wires in the door and jam and cannot locate anything that's not normal.

Honestly that sounds like a short in the wire or the switch somewhere... have you tried using a tester on the wires and the switch?

Jacked up.

Sounds to me like heat soak. Second opinions, anyone?

Could anything else be squeaking in my driveline other than u joints? Have a bad squeak at low speeds and I'm 99% sure

You might be going crazy. Check the dust shields on the front brakes.

Slip joint in the drive shaft or the ball in the doubly cardan joint?

The connectors for the master panel suck. They fail after years. There is a write up where you can use a wire (or paper clip, and yes, I've seen it done) and essentially jump the harness so you don't lose power to the switch).
