    Idle controller for 2.5 4-cylinder

    Hi all, I'm prepping my now (finally) working Jeep for it's MOT and just need to do what I can to make sure the emissions are ok. It's running grey to dark grey moke at the moment. Probly cos it's been sitting for three months and not been driven at all. In my quest to rule out everything that...

    Good grief Charlie Brown!

    After a brief stay in Hospital I'm back to try to fix my ruddy Jeep. New ECU is now firing the injector and fuel is entering the throttle body. But it's just sitting there in a pool under the valve. The Jeep cranks really well and I cleaned the sparks but it seems like the fuel is not going...

    ECU comptibility

    Hi all, is an XJ ECU/ECM compatible with a YJ? If it's the same year and engine? I'm having the devil's own job locating an ECU for my 2.5l 4cyl here in the UK. Zero luck. USA seems to be my option but they are super expensive. Just wondered if I have other options? Thank all!

    Odd Connector

    Hi all, whilst on the continued hunt for my YJ not powering the injector I came across this connector hanging around under the battery. It's looking dirty so I assume it's not been connected to anything for a long while but it is connected by a wire to the Diag box by my battery. Any clues what...

    Noid light help

    Hi, I've bought a noid light to test my Injector. Looked elsewhere on here for help but they are quite old posts so apologies for resurrecting. Plugged the noid in to the harness and cranked the Jeep, no light. I've read that light is good and no light is bad ? The ECU is sending a pulse to the...

    Is there anything wrong with this fuel injector?

    Hi, can anyone tell me from the pictures if there is anything obviously wrong with my single point injector for my 2.5l 4cyl? Before I start hunting for a new one around the globe. ( It's getting power and ground from the ECU but not spraying at all despite having fuel at the inlet) Thanks all.

    Hose Identification Query

    Hi all. Does anyone know what the hose is called or the part number is for the single hose that should be here instead of these three? Looks like a makeshift repair but doesn't look very efficient? Thanks all.

    Single Point Injection Wiring

    ECU has been refurbed and seems to be working fine- better than before anyway! I've narrowed down my issue to the single point injector. Spark from the coil, spark on the ignition wire, spark at all four plugs. Fuel is hitting the throttle body but does not seem to be allowed into the injector...

    Non starting after new thermostat and heater core flush

    Ok, here's the deal. Early 1989 2.5l 4cyl TBT LHD here in the UK. I believe she's quite possibly the rarest YJ of her kind in the UK according to people who know about this stuff. That's not a good thing. Not on this island anyway. Other than a back fire issue or two she's never let me down...

    Gas fumes in cab after pulling up or in heavy traffic

    Hi folks, On my eternal journey to thwart the petrol fumes in my cab after coming to a stop, I rechecked and replaced as best I could all my vacuum hoses and even took the Evap apart and filled with new charcoal and filters etc. Then noticed by accident that when I lower my fuel flap, solid...

    Dashboard light panel removal

    Hi all, there is a 10 Yr old thread on this but I thought I'd start it again. My 1989 2.5l idle fluctuates between 800 and about 600 and sometimes when I take her out she does that at red lights and even stalled on me yesterday. It's noticeably worse when I turn my headlights on. Is that...

    Rough idle made worse when lights are on

    Tyre Pressure Query

    Hi all, I'm running BFG LT215 75 R15 K02's on my early 1989 YJ. It's a Sahara and I don't off road it. It's got these tyres on as it's a Jurassic Jeep Replica. I just run about on the roads to events and stuff. What should my tyre pressures be? My jeep weighs about 3085lbs with me in it and all...

Anyone done this and was...

    Idle Control Query

    Hi from the UK, Really dumb question but I removed the device in red as I thought it might be the culprit of my high idle - 1400rpm even when warmed up, sits there all the time- stripped it down and cleaned a lot of crud out of the gear mechanism and gently cleaned the little motor which was a...

    Air hoses

    OK, I give up haha. What are the names or part numbers for the red and blue tubes in the picture? The bottom one goes into a hole in the bottom of the engine but mine is not a perfect fit so leaks a bit around the hole. I think it should be rubber and mine us ribbed alloy? Also i think the one...

    Valve cover question

    Hi all, finding a replacement valve cover for my 1988 block YJ 2.5l with fuel injection is a nightmare over here in the UK. I have found one that looks exactly like mine but it says for engines with a carb? Does anyone know if this is not an issue as the valve cover will fit anyway? Don't want...

    Left rear brake drum Issue

    Hi all. When I brake hard or brake sharply in the wet or on gravel, my rear left hand side drum seems to lock and then skids which is a bit of a worry. Anything I should look for when I take the hub off to check the brakes? Thanks everyone. 1989 YJ.
