Next you need to check your fan clutch, and water pump. Replace as necessary.

Hi,
I first want to say thank you to all the knowledgeable people that post on the threads here, you have all been very helpful to me in the past.

I have an 89 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl, 4.0 L, 4x4...two weeks ago as I pulled out of the parking spot, transmission was having great difficulty going into gear. . I have to rev the idle to between 3,000-4,000 RPMS and back off a little for it to "catch". The suggestion was given that it was probably nothing more than the Trans. filter an easy fix, well it has been nothing but easy.

Using your forum we managed to get the dipstick o-ring off after messing with it for the entire day. Then last nite we get everything unbolted ready to come off and the Transmission pan will NOT clear the exhaust. If we try to remove the exhaust from the head it is going to snap the bolts and cause even more damage.

Is there an easier and less expensive way to do this? I am a full time student with limited cash and really can not afford to take her to the dealership for repairs and you have all been so very helpful so far as to keeping me from having to spend large amounts of money to keep her running.

I would appreciate any tips, suggestions, and help anyone can offer me at this point!

Why don't you just unbolt the exhaust downpipe from the header flange? 2 bolts...done

Question and^ answer lol..

I am getting a hissing sound under the dash and the brake pedal gets mushy/soft. I think it's the power brake booster. I have a '98 XJ 4X4 Sport. The repair manual says I need to remove brake lines and fluid,the airfilter and box during the removal process of the booster, then reinstall the lines and bleed the brakes etc. After looking at the booster, I don't see why I would need too. The factory booster in the XJ now has a Bendix sticker on it. My question is: Do I need to open up my brake line system, or can I just kinda move it around (still sealed metal lines) to get the booster out?

Be careful not to kink or damage the lines. Not reccomended but I've done it that way.

Okay so hears a big one, I am in the process of reviving a 94 ZJ. It had sat for 3 years cuz wiring harness got chewed by some animal. So the previous owner retired it. I took it off his hands and started wrenching. I got the old harness out and put a new to me harness in but when I put I battery in everything works except it won't turn over. When I turn the key to start the brake light on the dash comes on? The starter wont even engage. So I went and checked all the fuses and relays all were good so I tried again and it still wouldn't turn over. So I had my dad turn the key while I listened in the engine compartment and I could hear a relay engaging I thought it was the starter relay but it ended up being the ABS relay. To make sure the starter relay wasn't broke I took the ABS relay and plugged it onto the starter relay and starter relay into the ABS relays spot. And again only the one where the abs relay was supposed to go engaged. So the relays aren't bad and I went and double checked every conection and they all seemed good. so as of right now I'm clueless as of what to do next. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

I was off roading and tried to back up down a hill to get a better shot at it. As i start to move backwards and engage the brakes its like there s nothing there and it barely stops. What should i do to fix this? I thought i had them adjusted right but maybe not. Pads are good and just changed the springs about 4 months ago. Could this problem stem from bad bleeding process when i put my new axle in about a year ago? Thanks

Test the current at the starter and make sure all the wiring is still good there.

FMXFreak

I checked all the wiring and all is well how would I check the current?

Put a clamp meter around the wire you're trying to test.
