Re: Interstate Trouble
I did some searching and came across an older string titled something
like "YJ excessive... mystery sensor." It seemed to be going down the
same alley I am.
My question, can anyone describe to me how to check those sensors. Like
I said earlier I like to avoid my dealership like the plague.. I just
need a sensor primer per say.
Also I think a regear is mandatory. I've been searching for a cheap 8.8
that I could regear with the front at the same time, and then slide
under, perhaps it is time to increase the search. Any help on that
would also be great.
Thanks,
D

Re: Interstate Trouble
Only reason for a regear is to help you in 1st gear, either hi or lo
range. How much time and how critical is being able to get to one a full
gear lower than your current 1st? Rock crawling you need it, woods and
mud (like Mike and I) you don't really have to have it. $1200 (regear
two axles) is a bunchof money.

Re: Interstate Trouble
I have 3.31's and 33's and very seldom use 1st low. 2nd for starting
with 3rd low for running usually.
I also forget about 5th and get about 23 mpg.

Re: Interstate Trouble
You have something seriously crapped out from the sounds of it.
I would start by opening the distributor cap and seeing what the posts
and rotor looked like.
Then I would be opening the air filter to see if it is plugged. If
blocked with oily dirt, suspect plugged rear CCV tube or grommet hole.
Next I would be pulling the plugs to look for a really clean or dirty
one.
If clean suspect too much gas or a bad injector, if really dirty,
suspect electrical.
