I used to have a ZJ with ABS and there is a turn with a bump in town where the ABS would always kick in and make the braking very weak just where you really had to reduce your speed. Not a good feeling. |
Re: Swapping D44 into ABS jeep
Yep. I just figured I would throw that in. I know it's farfetched, but I
wouldn't fancy getting in front of a jury and explaining how I removed part of the stock braking system because it actually made braking worse. I'm just a poor retired guy and I don't even have an ASE diploma. How would I know stuff like that? Cheers, Earle "L.W.

02 TJ Hard to start after rearended
2002 4.0L I6 TJ Manual Tranny and until two weeks ago it never failed to start on the first crank. Two weeks ago I was setting at stop sign when the person behind me, for unknown reasons, thought I had pulled out and proceded to drive her little chevy car under the rear of my Jeep. My spare tire and tow hooks pretty much destroyed the front of her car but my Jeep appeared to be unaffected other then some scuffs on the gas tank. The gas tank isn't dented at all, just some of the black paint is scruffed off. There is no other damage , or even minor srapes , that I can see other than some of her paint on the bottome of my spare tire and on the tow hooks. Now if the Jeep sets more than 10 minutes after being shut off it doesn't want to start. If I turn the key and just crank and crank and crank it won't start at all. If I turn the key and crank crank crank, then stop, crank crank crank again, stop and crank crank crank again, it will normally start on the 3rd attempt. Sometimes it will almost start on the second 'crank crank crank' but fails with what sounds like a muffled belch or backfire. I checked the tank throughly I can't find even a small dent or any signs the tank was pushed out of place... I don't know. I can't figure out if it knocked somethign loose inside , maybe rust or something knocked loose and now clogging a filter ? It runs pefectly once it's started though. It will start just fine as long as it isn't allowed to set for long , almost as if fuel is draining out of something when it sits long enough. Any ideas ? Farrell |

Re: 02 TJ Hard to start after rearended
I could be mistaken, but I was told some have an antidrainback valve
inside the gas tank on the pump. I would suspect this valve has failed or jammed from the impact. I would suspect you need a new in-tank pump/filter/valve unit which is expensive.
