    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    I replaced the panel and the connectors. Wired in two 40 amp relays to bypass the two highest fan speeds. Pulled 12 volts from the radio, seemed to be the most convenient spot. Used the large black wire that goes to the 3 wire connector for the ground. Everything is working now. Drove around...

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    I got all the connectors and relays in on Thursday, but was out of town this weekend. Should be able to knock it all out tonight.....possibly tomorrow if need be.

    I read the links, still don't understand how adding a relay will help? How is it going to limit the current?

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    After reading a bunch of posts it seems the weak point in the circuit is the connection points. That is where the excessive heat is coming from, causing things to melt. I am debating soldering the wires directly to the terminals on the backside of the switches. Seems like that would solve the...

    Found both connectors. That little 3 wire one was a ***** to find and its expensive. I should get the parts in a week or so. Ill let you know if anything else comes up.

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    I replaced the resistor when I replaced the fan. I checked the old one before I ordered the fan. It read out ok but was pretty heavily corroded. It was cheap so I figured I might as well change it out. After further inspection, I found that the one small connector with 3 wires was melted...

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    I pulled the panel out and it looks like my problems got worse. Looks like stuff melted on the back of it. Previous owner tried to repair it, did a very poor job. Ill need to replace some wires and connectors and a switch. Got to try and find the parts. On the bright side I did take it for...

    Turns out it wasn't the blower motor. BUMMER!!!! I guess it is the control switch.

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    The blower motor I ordered just came in yesterday. I hadn't installed it yet, was going to do that today. I assumed it was bad. Wouldn't work in any settings and fuses were good. I didn't realize the switch had a history of issues. I guess Ill find out when I get home.

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    It took a while, I went on vacation and then when I got back the blower motor for my AC/heat crapped out. It being 95 plus degrees out, I couldn't go without the air. But I cleaned the IAC and throttle body. I will let you know how it goes. Is there supposed to ba gasket underneath the...

    It was an NTK sensor. Haven't cleaned the TB or IAC, Ill let you know what I get on those readings.

    Where does this hose go?

    2 days after changing the O2 sensor for that sputtering problem, the radiator blew up. 4 inch crack in the top of it.

    Where does this hose go?

    I was able to locate where it went this weekend, while I had more time and light. Hooked up to a little tube coming out from the housing underneath where the throttle cables are attached. All is well.

    I replaced the upstream O2 sensor Sunday morning. Didn't have any issues on the test drive after. Ill let you know I the problem stays away after this week. Thanks for your help.

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    I don't have or know anyone with a scan tool. I was going to change out the upstream O2 sensor this weekend. I can't look up the part on the jeep website because it only goes back to vehicles model year 2001 or newer. My Haynes manual only lists/shows the downstream one. I understand the...

    2000 TJ sputters while driving when cold

    It idles a little under 1000 RPM. No codes, which was steering me away from the O2 sensor.
