    Got scammed and need help to rebuild 89 Wrangler YJ base model

    Thats even slower than a 2.5 that came in it. ;) Seriously though, its a Volkswagen diesel engine. I have seen several different rigs converted with these engines over the years.

    Did I short out the ECU?

    I had the Howell kit on one of my CJ's and yes there should be a fuse for the pump somewhere in the system. Might google howells website where full install instructions can be found. Hard to say offhand what/where somebody did during the install you have.

    Suspension help

    Also check closely near the bottoms of the shocks for stamped numbers in the bodies. Those ar typically the part numbers yo can google up and see who made them etc.

    Carburator for Wrangler YJ 2.5 Liter. 4 cylinder

    What YT said. Unless changed you have what I think is the single year? throttle body fuel injection in your hand. Rockauto has replacement injectors and a service kit but finding the entire bolt on TB may be difficult.

    Stalling issue that I can’t figure out please help

    Coil break down Perhaps? You still have spark? My 91 had a frame mounted fuel filter. Stalling is a potential related thing as the system starves for fuel.

    Intake Air Temp Sensor issue

    I don't think it would prevent it from starting. That's based on other vehicles Ive played with, but It likely would run poorly once running.

    What should I pay for this 95 YJ?

    Pretty speculate what its worth is. Rust? Miles? Abuse or not? A new complete top is not cheap these days. Most stuff Ive seen worth the trouble is 6K on the low end up to 10K. Paying a lot does not always mean a good, but paying a little typically means beat. 4 bangers are worth less, the AX5...

    What makes me love these Damn YJ's so much?

    Truck 4 speeds, Iron, chainless T cases with PTO capability, D 44 rear diffs, NO Chrysler involvement, no electronics to die in the middle of nowhere. Keep It Simple Stupid as they say. ;) Just my .02 (y)

    1990 YJ with a NP205 transfer case: what u-joint?

    Exactly, Ive owned 1/2 ton dodges & chevies, 3/4 ton dodges & fords and chevies that used the 205 T case. Im sure the front yoke was different per mfg'er and GVW of the truck.

    1990 YJ with a NP205 transfer case: what u-joint?

    Mic it and go to Dennys drive shafts and look up the dimensions. 205's were used in to many different trucks to guess what yoke it has on it.

    WTB: ISO Bestop Sunrider Softop Windshield Brackets

    I had one on my 91 and I assume your talking about the quarter turn to lock down ones. Might give McMaster Carr a look as they have all kinds of odd ball hardware. Thats all I can think of.

    Tire PSI

    I ran my 31's under 20, highway or trail and never had any issues.

    Need help pricing my YJ

    I think regardless of where you post it your gonna get the "is it for sale" bit. Its pretty much a mixed bag with buyers and them telling you I can buy one for half your price. First off 90% of them arent worth a 1/4 of what the sellers want due to them being completely beat to shit and second...

    Black Smoke!

    Your fuel injected correct? There is no 'adjustment" to cure rich running. If your carbed check the choke plate is open all the way when warm. The float could be saturated and low flooding it or it could be hung up. After sitting 3 months make sure rodents havent built a condo in your air intake...

    Need help pricing my YJ

    We just bought s vehicle off FB market place. IMO, FB is as worthless as FBM place. Scammers, people who never respond to you request for contact info. here in NM I say 70% of them are "salvaged" POS'es from chop shops. Craigs list is still better IMO even if it costs $5 for an ad. Theres also...

    Mechanical Questions

    Im no electronics expert but I think much of that is semantics. Same part, different name. Most guys say www.wranglerfix.com is the way to go for ecm fixes. Perhaps macho will kick in with some knowledge. He puts these together in his sleep ;)

    Mechanical Questions

    No, its not normal. Th ECM regulates the alternators charging output. It has nothing to do with the alternators charging abilities. Not having a clue what the "new wiring" entails, the wiring could be wrong, or your ecm has problems. You should see 13.8 to 14.3V with it running.

    1989 Jeep Wrangler clutch bleeding valve won’t turn

    I see marks on both the line end and large nut holding the bleeder nipple. Have you tried to open the actual bleed nipple? Brake line wrenches work wonders.
