When my xj makes right turns and im low on gas it spits and sputters and almost dies. Im sure a carbed version would die if it didnt get constant fuel.

You could check on the fuel pick up assembly.

I have a 95 zj and need to find a radiator from something else that wont hang lower than my bumper. I bust it every time I take it wheeling. It doesnt have to have a tranny cooler, I have a external cooler.

Yes id like some eletrical fan help as well. Im no eletrician nor do i have much understanding of it at all so the most simple instructions on how to find out if my fan is bad, the switch, or the relay would be most appreciated lol. Ofcourse i still need to check the fuse so that'll be step one.

For the entire electric fan you'll have to get it really hot. The ECU needs to see approx 218 degrees at the temperature sensor on the thermostat housing to turn it on. If you just want to test the fan itself you can unplug it and jump it to the battery.

No heat and no AC could be a few things... I assume the fan in the cab works right? Could be lack of refrigerant in the AC system and cloggef heatet core. Not uncommon. Could have a toast fuse for the HVAC stuff, also not uncommon
