    Connector to fuel pump assembly

    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...

    Good looking YJ!

    That Tan/black combo is clean.

    Would you pay almost 40k for this YJ?

    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...

    Time for a new engine

    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.

    Time for a new engine

    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...

    Time for a new engine

    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...

    YJ cranks but does not get spark

    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.

    YJ cranks but does not get spark

    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...

    Sold The YJ

    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...

    Big Block in 89 YJ

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

    Time for a new engine

    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...

    Time for a new engine

    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...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    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...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    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...

    Will automatic transmission from 89 XJ fit 90 YJ?

    Most likely, the XJ transmission is the AW4 if behind the 4.0 I-6, so while it technically may bolt up if you have the 4.2 I-6 in the YJ, it requires a stand alone controller due to electronics. YJs use the 30RH (904) if 4cy and the 32RH (999) if I-6. I'd imagine the YJ PCM will also need to be...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    Man, en$#!+tification is coming for everything. Glad you figured it out. I am about to go on a sabbatical from purchasing dang near anything due to the lack of QC. I read reviews religiously now. It was bad enough when buying stuff for my AMC360 (one of the big reasons I swapped to LS in the...

    What would be a fair price for fixing this 1995 Wrangler with rusted frame?

    Yeah, your friend needs to find a good frame. Even then, swapping it over may be challenging when it comes time to unbolt the tub due to the way the body mount bolts are captured with square nuts inside floor pan hat channels. How is the body and tub itself? It may be a waste of time to salvage...

    (SOLVED) Jeep died when coming to stop. Cranks, but won't restart.

    I replied on your thread since this one is solved.

    1993 YJ 2.5 slow start and very bad idle at startup

    Okay, you've replaced this part twice now. I have to ask, how did you test for it? Did you rent/borrow a fuel pressure gauge?
