Got my injectors in the mail gonna try and do them and the plugs tmrw afternoon and seafoam the oil then get it changed question tho 1. What do I use to insulat e the injectors from heat soak 2. Do I just pour the seafoam in where the oil cap is? 3. Some jammed a too small terminal clamp onto my pos term and idk how to get it off cuz its STUCK like someone beat it on there with a hammer or something....

Also what are some easy things I can do to lessen the heat in the engine bay

Hood louvers. Some people put spacers in the hood. (Looks dumb but works) upgrade cooling system, stuff like that lol

Should mount fine to your rails but the seats won't fold forward like they need to for people to get in the back.

Thanks was def looking at vents was gonna spray paint the hood anyways cuz its got some surface rust I need to kill

1) no need to wrap the injectors in anything, just toss them in and you'll be fine
2) most say not to, it will knock sludge loose if you're unsure about the POs maintenence habits. Pour half in the brake booster line and half in the tank when you fill up
3) no idea what you're asking here.

If you do put the seafoam in the oil, don't run it like that for long. Like Purple said, there's a big chance you can knock sludge loose and clog stuff. I would do a flush and put new oil and a good filter in first. Wix, Napa (Same things internally), or Mopar brand filters are top dog, stay the F away from Fram. Then run Seafoam for about 150 miles before your next oil change, and ALWAYS replace the filter.

I read that the 2000+ injectors sit reallu close to the manifold and they do I looked I know some ppl use a heat shield...wouldnt I want to get rid of sludge? And im asking how im supposed to get it off I cant replace the injectors without unpluging the battery but the pos clamp was beaten down onto the terminal and I dunno how to get it off

I pm'd him on the 3rd. I'll wait a lil longer...the drop in fuel economy is killing me!

OH the battery cable, if that's the case i would just get a new cable and cut the old one, then replace the terminal (they should screw off) or even get a whole new battery.

also about wrapping the injectors, don't worry about it unless you start getting heat soak.

ScikoFaery

I got mine 4 days after I paid I think

ScikoFaery

Battert is still newish and so is cable lol I dont wanna cut it if I dont have to >_<

It may be different for 00 cherokees but I've never heard of it. Wait for someone else to chime in. You do want to get rid of sludge but not in the way seafoam would do it. It'll knock it loose and get it lodged in parts that should have sludge stuck.

For the terminal you can try getting a chisel or pry bar under it and hit them with a hammer to pop it up

When i hit a hill in overdrive on the highway my jeep seems to go start from OD to passing gear and Im not increasing pedal pressure, any ideas

Corrosion's probably got a nice hold on your battery terminals - maybe some penetrating oil and tapping it with a hammer

As for the injectors heat soak is a problem on the 2000+ XJs with California Emissions. If you have the two-mini cats in your exhaust manifold and 4 O2 sensors it would be wise to just wrap them and not wait for problems. The mini cats throw off enough heat to boil the fuel in the injectors. Automotive stores have specific heat wrap tape.
