Since I’ve owned this 4.2 it’s had an exhaust leak and I believe I found it. A bolt is missing from the exhaust. Pictured here is the header and the missing nut. Its located Where the exhaust attaches to the header. I can see some sort of bolt still in there but it is not attached completely to...

I cut the auto selector light socket out to see if it was shorting. I have my gauge cluster out and I pulled a led out and I am measuring around 7v but no leds are lighting at all. I tired measuring voltage at the fuse and I get nothing, but if I pull the fuse I get 0 volts where I tested 7v. I...

I replaced my gauge lights with leds recently and all my lights worked fine. The bulb for the automatic selector was working but stopped working. If I wiggled the light It would come back on. I was doing that and the bulb socket sparked and all my interior gauge lights went out. I checked the...

Here is where is says PA4 on my plate so that has to be it. I’m seeing some online for sale with that paint code but are around $40 for a spray can. Is there some way to find an exact match through this paint code? Or am I just going to have to match it by sight. I am only I’m trying to spray...

Well I'd imagine it is. If that is the colors available for 1989 wranglers then mine has to be that color. I am pretty sure it hasn't been repainted. I think the paint code sticker used to be inside the jeeps interior but its been bedlined so I doubt I could find it. I am trying to find some...

Here is the link I found it from...

I believe I found this up on a eBay auction. Ill have to look to find it online again. I'm just trying to figure out what the modern touch up paint code would be.

I have a 1989 4.2 and I am sure my color is this PA4 silver metallic. I am looking for what the modern replacement would be. I have been looking up the code from the photo and have found nothing. Thanks for the help!

Yeah I believe the manual says the bulb for the "auto trans. indicator lamp #1445". It doesn't seem to match, #37 would probably be the closet, is that the same as in the e brake indicator? The bulb was working before I took the cover off but now it isn't working. I haven't pulled it out yet...

I was switching my dash lights and I thought the bulb for the gear selector would be the same... it isn’t. So whatever bulb it is I’d appreciate the advice! Also with the bulb for the climate control I do not know the size for.

I posted a few months ago but I now have some questions about my carb and possible oil burning issue. My carb on my 4.2 is what I believe is a weber 32/36 with a manual choke. I am unsure on where I should set my idle speed, Idle screw, and mixture screw. I do not know if I need my jets...

Yeah I will certainly be checking up on the plugs and oil when I get the time to put miles on it. I’ll call the shop up and ask about the repairs. When I get more info or find something else I’ll report back. Thanks for the help so far!

I was confused on why this one was like that and the others weren’t. The engine was low on oil so maybe the engine is burning oil but I don’t know how to tell for sure. I already cleaned the plugs and I’m going to put new plugs in as I said before. The plug looked like the examples of oil...

I haven’t worked on the Jeep for awhile but I wanted to send this picture of one of the plugs. This is to me is the worst one of them all. I’m assuming this is oil and isn’t a good sign of the engine. One or two other plugs had the white ashy build up which if my research is right is also oil...

Where would I find the correct settings for the idle and mixture screw? I was seeing 1.5 turns for idle and 2 for mixture screw. Those weren't specifically for the 4.2 and the installation manual has even more vague instructions.
