I have the 4 cylinder and AX5 and didn't know what to look for. I was told the oil fill port on the ax5 in on the right side and ax15 is on the left.

Great news! Thanks for the update. Looks like a good idea to add a kill switch but it's a shame you didn't know about it. I may add one.

They're is a good chance it is flooded because an injector is leaking. The fuel rail is still under pressure when you shut it off and normally the closed injectors will prevent fuel from going into the intake manifold. You can try running a fuel injector cleaner in the tank or remove the...

The power steering pulley on mine was plastic and started making a terrible squealing sound. I bought a new pulley on Amazon and that fixed it.

I'm wondering if you have an internal slave or external? I know it's the master in question. I've changed or rebuilt 6 or so masters/slaves over my years and bled dozens, some worked much better, others the same, and some needed extra bleeding. How is your transmission shifting? If it's...

As I recall the steering box has an adjustment screw to take out any slop in the gears. BUT, the screw should only be turned a very small amount (1/8 turn) and see what happened. Too much tightening will cause wear and might make it worse. Look in the Factory Service Manual in this forum for...

Aerodynamics of a road grader.

Another shot in the dark. Unplug the reverse light switch on the transmission to see if it's effecting the fuel pump. Maybe check or watch fuel pressure when you put it in reverse.

It may not be the safest option, what if you jacked up the back of the jeep so the rear wheels are off the ground and tried reverse. Could the rear brakes or drive train be locking up when going backwards? I don't know anything about the automatic trans, just thinking what else is further...

I'm really not into engine swaps and I suggested that only because you were headed that way. The TDI is a light weight engine with almost double the HP, torque, and MPG over my 2.4L. From what I've read it's a very straight forward swap with no hidden tricks. Again, I'm not big on swaps or...

If I had that shell, I would consider installing a VW TDI engine with YJ AX-15 and transfer case.

That's where it is on my '92. From the diff up to the left (driver's) side of the radiator. No clip on mine and it's just wedged near the radiator and power steering reservoir. No clip on mine so I guess I should tie-wrap it to something nearby. Looks like I'm also missing the top cap of...

Did you identify what the relay is for which you initially jumped? Also what slots in the socket did you jump. You may have a very weak ground or power connection due to corrosion and the brief short opened the circuit somewhere along the wires. Remove every relay and every fuse, one at a...

I did not find any difference when working on my 92 with a 2.4L and AX5

As I recall, when you start and run the engine with the radiator cap off you should see the coolant flowing at a good rate when the t-stat opens. Be careful because it will overflow as it heats up. Low flow and dirty fluid makes me think there's a bunch of rust or sediment that collected in...

Years ago I was told by a Jeep dealership that it's critical to put the front end up on ramps to "Burp" the air out of the engine. There's an air pocket in the cylinder head that will cause overheating if it's not flushed out. When cool, raise the front end and remove the radiation cap. Start...

I had rust in the same spots but it was only limited to the rivnuts around the bolt holes. The top and sides of the frame were still in good shape. I cut out the bolt holes, treated and painted the inside of the frame and welded these channels to the frame. That was the only rust I found.

Reading some Amazon reviews one customer had this locking problem and said the locking rod needs to be unclipped and adjusted about 1/16 inch longer.

Fun, inexpensive (lol), easy to work on, really fun.

OK but do you hear the pump run momentarily when you first turn on the key? Does the engine run when you jumper the pump relay?
