Hey all, i just got my first XJ, or jeep for that matter so far loving it. Shes a 96 with the NP242 T case. I just looked around online to find a forum that it looked like i would like so here i am!
I just traded her for my 94 dodge dakota and i have a few questions bout her, so is some one would help me out that would be bad ass!
first, running issues: everything works grate, BUT when shes cold she dosent like to stay idling even more so in gear. i have to feather the gas like a car with a gummed up carb. also this morning when i was on the HYW at around 65 it started sputtering and trying to die like it was running out of gas, but once i let up a little it evened out and would climb back to speed, however it did not repeat this on my way home this afternoon. any ideas? to me it seems like a fuel issue of some kind. also the down stream O2 sensor is disconnected, the huy i got it from sait the wires got caught in the drive shaft but this shouldent effect running should it? seeing how that O2 should only be for emissions, but no dash lights are on.
it has a few other issues but nothing as debilitating as this one
second rust control: i have some holes but not enough to replace floor pans. any ideas for treatment? i was thinking of hitting all rust with rust reformer, applying a coat of bondo to fill in and fortify the area then BEDLINE THE SHIT OUT OF IT!!! lol any thoghts
if any one would like to help that would be nice!!
