Oil pressure problem fixed
Hey guys,
I used a mechanical gauge, it has pressure. I replaced the sensor, everything's back to normal - that is, as normal as can be with this thing. I don't know if I mentioned this, but at some point over the last couple of days working on it, I snapped what I think is a heater hose coupling. Completely shattered it. It's still running roughly - it starts up, runs fine for a few seconds, then wants to shut off unless I give it gas. I replaced the distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs over the weekend. Where should I be looking? Reminder, it's a '92 XJ 4.0L |

Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
And now I've snapped the CCV outtake elbow. Am I snapping all these
plastic parts because it's too cold or are they just old? The Merg wrote: > Hey guys, > I used a mechanical gauge, it has pressure.
