Just watched a video. The person (DexJs channel) stated to have someone crank while you hold a hand on the ASD relay. You should feel the relay clicking if getting signal from CPS. Also seen others who stated most off the shelf CPS are junk and to only get the Mopar one. I have no experience...

I'm unsure what a good reading should be. I take that the check engine light did illuminate when turning the key? Also checking that you did hear fuel pump/check for fuel pressure at the rail and swap a couple of relays.

I had an issue like that. Thought the wire was seated, but it wasn't. This can allow an arc to the block. Now, I'd recommend checking to make sure the little connectors in the plug wires aren't stretched and loose, allowing the issue to happen. You should feel and hear a click when pushing the...

Does the check engine light illuminate at all when you first turn the key? Have you verified fuel pressure at the rail with a gauge?

I have it. First time ever dealing with a Jeep and soft top. Installed on mine after I sold the hard top and full doors. Fitment is good, IMO. Again, I've never dealt with any other soft top Jeep before. My only complaint is the side panels sometimes want to pop off their hold down rail along...

Unavailable as far as I've found. Just do a 3 wire weatherpack male and female connector and call it done. Oh! And if using a repop sending unit assembly, replace that stupid short rubber hose that connects the pump to pickup tube with fuel rated submersible stuff. Otherwise, you'll end up...

That Tan/black combo is clean.

While I respect the build, I'm not into rolling Jungle gyms. For that price, I'd want a TJ Rubicon frame with the clean body of the YJ on top. All negative talk aside, my dream, $ no object build would be a YJ unlimited on a LJ Rubicon chassis, but with a 4.0/AW4 and everything else from the...

You had better luck than I did, though mine was the 360 parts, so maybe there's enough CJ owners out there to keep demand up. I still wouldn't trust anyone here to be competent enough to rebuild a toddler's Duplo set given the incorrect basic things I found going on with the 360.

Yes, but you said new. He didn't. A swap isn't a new engine. It typically has plenty of miles under its belt, therefore is proven reliable via its mechanical history alone. As far as why, I answered some of that already in my reply above. But I will add, I can go into the parts store and get an...

I'm unsure where you get anyone said "new" motor. OP clearly stated he had the original rebuilt. It hasn't ran correctly since. I had the same issue with my AMC 360 rebuild. There are way too many hack jobs out there who call themselves professional. And where does one find a new 258? A new...

Also, if the computer self test passes, do the code check on the pcm as well. Jeep solid should also show how to do the obd 1 self test.

There are some basic trouble shooting videos on Youtube that should help walk you through some diagnosing procedures. Power addicts channel and jeep solid channel are two I recommend. First, when you first turn the key (just a couple of clicks, but not cranking) do you see the Check engine...

Condolences for your loss. All sarcasm aside, glad you enjoyed it and took care of it for the next person. Hope you find another fun ride once you settle in. Knee pain forced me to part with my favorite fun car a couple of years ago. A 2000 Pontiac T/A WS6 with the 6 speed. I now rock the...

I bet that thing's all kind of sketchy fun to drive.

In your case, since you have the 258 and would be swapping to a different motor, I second what Macho stated here and use something up to 95. This unfortunately limits availability, but there are donor vehicles out there. If you do choose this route, you will need the engine harness and pcm...

I did a 4.8 LS swap on my Wagoneer almost 3 years ago. All in, I was at $5K. That was fuel tank, AN fuel lines compatible with ethanol blended fuels, fuel filler hose, driveshaft (rear) engine ($1800 verified runner), transmission adapter ($500 since I'm rocking the 727), coolant hoses, PCM...

Good deal.

Hmmm. Almost like the PCM got reset and was trying to 'learn' idle speed. I have no experience yet with the 4.0 relearn procedure, but that is the way LS motors behave when they lose 12v connection, even briefly. That is similar to how mine behaved during the fuel pump repair and having to...

I've done this multiple times. Never screwed anything up. If I can move the flywheel with the transmission yoke, I'm using all the help my skinny butt can take by drawing it up with the bolts. And yeah, just a turn at a time, alternating like I'm torquing lug nuts. Glad you are in the home...
