Thanks to all who replied to this question. The mechanic who told me this confirmed it thru the inspection plate. He said he had never seen one break where this one broke. Indeed he said he would have to drop the drive shafts, transmission, transfer case and the shape of the lines (brake...

I have been told by a repair garage that I have a broken flex plate on my 88' YJ, a/t, L6. And he says he has to pull back the transmission, etc. to get to it. The part apparently is not expensive, but the labor is a killer. First, what the hell is a flex plate? Second, is this a major job...

Jeep Motor Mount Bracket Location? :?: Every time the weather gets cold the problem occurs I have an '88 YJ, L6, Auto, Carter Carb. If the mosheen sits overnight I depress the pedal down one time and it starts most times right up (although it sounds like it running on 4 cyl until the temp comes...

I have a '88 YJ, AT, 6 banger. I have a stinking passenger cab. The rear port on the top of the valve cover emits oil fumes. I do not have that port vented to the air cleaner as standard as I was filling up the air cleaner with small amounts of oil which got soaked up by the air filter. So I...

1988 YJ 6 banger, Carter Carb (rebuilt). The problem just started again...when the temp got colder.....idling rough, stall out at stop lites, or occasionally when decelerating to go around a corner it would stall out. What is the likely candidates for trouble searching? Also when starting the...

1066680 I don't want to mislead you, BUT, (since I have had a problem with oil being sucked into the airlceaner because of a plugged PCV/line) the PCV valve is on the front of the valve cover nearest the oil filler cap. The line from the valve goes to a T fitting: from the T a short line goes...

1064773 Sometime back I had the same stalling problem and while there were a lot of suggestions of what to look for I ended up replacing both intake and exhaust manifold gaskets (vacuum leak) and replacing this miserable thing they call a Carter carbuerator. $850 later the problem ceased to...

1056157 Pics are great Morgster....real clean. Just curious, you say you've owned it since new. I am wondering if you have encountered any of the problems that plague the YJ's (at least the early vintage ..87', 88', 89', 90' +)? I have just purchased a 1988 YJ with a 6 cyl/auto. My '83 CJ7...

1056394 To those that have responded THANKS!! I am located in Easton, PA-- East Central near the Delaware River across from Phillipsburg NJ. There are lots of auto garages but would like to find one that specializes in 4-wheel drive vehicle, and more specifically Jeeps. Willing to travel to...

1056542 TARSI I've checked out OK 4WD. They only work on drive-train---no engine work. They say they have enough business in drive-train alone. They recommended a couple auto repair shops, one in Washington, and one in Phillipsburg....Rossnagles. Don't know anything about these. I was...

1055207 Recently purchased from a private party a 1988 Wrangler Sport, 6 Cyl, AT. While in motion vehicle seems okay. The problem comes when I come to a stop (stop sign, light). The engine has a tendency to die. Some time it surges and stays lit. Most times not. What should I be looking...

1056376 Recently acquired an '88YJ. I am not mechanically inclined. Before I had an '83 CJ7 in Arizona and we had two great 4-wheel drive garages within 2 miles. Here in eastern PA I have found 0. But there are the Jeep Dealers/Service. The person I bought the '88 from did all his own engine...

1064770 1988 YJ-Heater does not work or at least the blower motor is not functioning. I've checked the blower motor fuse-ok. I am looking for expert troubleshooting advice of what I need to test to see what part of the whole heater system is broke. Could be electrical or mechanical? Thanks...

1064956 1988 YJ 4.2L - I have encountered engine oil in the air cleaner housing and the air filter was soaked with it. The only inlet that I can figure out how oil gets in is thru a hose that runs from the top of the valve cover to the air cleaner/PCV valve filter. Is there supposed to be...

1066589 Inch by inch I am replacing worn parts! I have an (engine) oil leak aka puddles, actually a couple. But they appear coming from one place---rear main seal. Anyone give me an idea of whats involved in replacing a rear main seal on a '88 YJ, 4.2L in-line six. $$$, time. Is this...

1067216 '88 4.2 6cyl: On 4/21 I received good suggestions to fix the problem of oil in the air cleaner box from Morgster, Bounty Hunter, Jay 89. I did replace the PCV valve, the hose from the PCV vave to the T-fitting (which goes to the carb and some other unit). I sprayed the heck out of the...
