We've got a 1990 YJ Wrangler(2J4FY19P4MJ____) that came to us with a broken 5 speed tranny and a questionable rebuilt 4 cyl. My son drove a 4 cyl Wrangler on a used car lot and found it to be a major Wimp from a performance standpoint. Rather than throwing $ and labor into getting the 4cylmotor...

So I have an 07 wrangler with a 3.8 v6 the engine is going, and I am going to need to replace it. if I can not find a direct replacement, what other options do I have for engines that will bolt up to the tranny and that the pcm and wiring harness won’t be an issue? motor mounts are not an issue...

Hi all. I recently completed a job on our 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.7 V8). I had popped a rocker on the 8th cylinder, and the valve seats were busted on two others. (i have pictures). I replaced both cylinder heads with remanufactured, new everything inside the cylinder heads (valve, cams...

Hi All, I've looked in the various forums but have yet to find anything related to how we can get a little more "pep" in our 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S 4WD. Not looking to go crazy, and definitely not looking to tear down an engine, but has anyone come up with a way to add some more...

Just rebuilt most of my engine (3.8 from 2008 jeep). Now the compression is showing 120lb at all cylinders And a code came up for cam sensor. Is it possible that Cam sensor can cause this.

My wife has a GMC Acadia, and it was in need of a tune up. I did plugs, coils, and decided to try (for my first time) seafoam. I read the instructions on the can -keep the RPMs at 2000 and spray it into the intake, then let things soak for 15 minutes. Start it up and drive like you stole it...

I just bought a 06 Jeep Wrangler, 4.0L I6 and it has started to jerk pretty violently when accelerating in low gears. Doesn’t happen if I take it slow. Check engine light also came on. Is that the engine missing due to either bad fuel or air supply? I’m a very novice mechanic but up for doing it...

have a 1993 Jeep Wrangler. I’m getting a slight clicking noise in the engine area. It is a 4 cylinder engine and everything seems to be working fine, I just wasn’t sure if I should be concerned. It does it when I idle but not sure about when I’m moving. Nothing to bad but just thought I’d put a...

I'm pretty sure my 4.0 '96 Cherokee just broke the timing chain, not while under load, but at start. I'm about to dig into it, but I would like to know if this is an "interference engine"?

not sure if this belongs in this thread or another, new here, so i figured i'd just post and find out. anyways, i have an engine issue. i keep getting a code 303 i think, or 103, either way its a piston misfire in the third cylinder. i was wondering if anyone has come across this before with...

So I recently just bought a 94 YJ with a 4.0l straight 6 with 134k miles on it. When I test drove it there was no check engine light on but when I took it home the next day and washed it the engine light came on with error code 21 & 33. 33 had something to do with the AC which it doesn't even...

Hi everyone, I am a newbie here and I just got a blown motor 2007 WK 3.7. Currently, I need to find an engine to replace it. I found a good deal from 2002 Liberty 3.7 V6, which has a blown gasket that I am going to rebuild. May I know what are the precautions I should consider when...

The 4.0 inline 6 engine in my '96 Cherokee has 188 k miles on it and (I thought) the serpentine belt or something close by has been squeaking badly for a month now. Tried all kinds of idler pulley tension adjustments and the squeaking continued. I go to start it today and the serp belt jumps...

Loose harmonic balancer Have a '96 XJ where the harmonic balancer just got off kilter enough that it blew the serp belt off track. I thought it was my serp belt that's been making noise all this time but I guess it's been the balancer. It's come loose and migrated forward some so that the...

Hi Guys - hopefully someone has some idea what's going on because I am stumped. My 2004 Liberty starts on a cold engine no problem, if I take a short drive and stop the engine, same thing. However when I have been driving about 45 minutes, if I turn the engine off - it won't turn over and...
