    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    they said compression was checked but to what standard, 150PSI not 100. if at 100 the cam was timed wrong. or your discovery was the tip of the ice berg. only all damage seen , helps to know cause. , timed wrong and HLA failed.

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    head off ,arrow front and damage hit marks on top are not good if it got hit the rod bearing can get damaged. the HLA are leak down tested before insertion, they must leak down. per FSM. chapter 9 engine. the leak down allows them to self adjust lash. note the asymmetry here. left/right

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    crate engines 101 what I do? I pull the bell off the tranny to the engine, M>T bell off m/t box to the engine back end,. make sure the flywheel is one, not later, or it will fail.(cmp fails later) no need for a clutch and mount the starter (plus battery and my starter jumper button kit) and...

    SOLVED now. as I typed , RENIX facts rod bent is intake or exhaust. ?????? your question now are super easy to answer any tech can , it's called basics (the enigne is a huge air pump first) a compressor in fact (air) it bends for these reasons not doing DAY1`the top end oiling test , before...

    Is 4K a fair price?

    the stud, if snapped off. flush. can be easy fix or crazy hard. <<< or needs the magic weld fix. to get it out seen on Youtube. or head must be pulled, and sent to a machine shop that can do the work ,10x more easy. if the rear main seal is not bad, (after VC seal and after PCV is fully clear...

    Is 4K a fair price?

    all that cost is labor. 40 hours labor is not fair. 10 to 20 maybe get 3 quotes from 3 shops the engine pulled, out, , and all that done is not 4000 bucks. make them quote parts and labor both. make them break it down. or pass or replace the VC cover gasket. and omg all leaks stopped...

    Diagnosing ECM problems

    the voltmeter test, is the PROOF it did. DTC error code 42 is ASD output was detected OVERLOADED wire a142 is the wire bus that was overloaded. the ASD relay must be closed full time cranking or running. the ASD senses wire 57 , if the voltage is too low the PCM flags it < overloaded. my...

    Diagnosing ECM problems

    this car the 1994, (91 to 95) has the ASD relay if spark is dead after 3 seconds cranking , and the ASD drops out. (de-energizes) that means the PCM discovered the output pin ASD is overloaded. I have posted here 10 times all things that cause that. when ASD drops out all spark , fuel and...

    Diagnosing ECM problems

    when the battery goes below 10vdc, (fsm says 9.5) the ECu goes off line. 1994 YJ right. 4.0L right? a/t or m/t not told. the cure is charger the battery , or jump start it or, buy a new battery. cardone does them. top one in USA. (ordered from Napa, cardone is not direct sales) the caps...

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    REDUX 1; condensed the RENIX ECU has no 3key turns to get DTC, that happend with first SBEC ecu, not this car. vacuum leaks cause too high idle RPM, not misfire. (unless egr valve hoses connected up wrong) no history told no photos of engine, or of how flywheel was installed, photos let the...

    Hard ride

    no photo of front axle springs there now, 1 of like 50 made) the car has very stiff leaf springs, unlike a 96 up with coil springs or even modified with progressive rate springs. some guys even remove leafs to make it softer. (the springs are also sold , even with lower weight ratings (softer)...
