Thanks! lot of work into it. when i got it the thing ran poorly, had oil leaks and a couple bad serpentine bearings... I have tried to sell it but just can't bring myself to do so! haha. It may...

Hey All, haven't actually introduced myself since joining. Figured I would share some pics of my 1987 Jeep Cherokee Wagoneer Limited...

Here is how I bought it a little over a year ago, the...

rv-errr: Thank you so much for the tip! I have been driving it all week now and haven't had a single episode. When I bought the car, i didn't know the gas gauge was backwards (full is empty, empty...

Agreed! Well, just a slight update, my battery was tested by Autozone and they said it was perfect.

I went through the battery posts and cleaned everything up with light sand paper so that the...

Hahaha, so darn true... love that signature.

So just a quick update, I really haven't changed anything but since I changed the O2 sensor, took it for a test drive, it stalled once and then I tried to repeat it, I haven't been able to. I didn't...

Are there any smells that I could look for or any other indications that it is running rich or lean at the time of having issues?

4.3XJ, i have never once had any issue whatsoever restarting the jeep. It always takes maybe 3 seconds of turning to start, but it always starts after right around 3 seconds. I don't know if that...

Funny you say that... i sat up last night researching again and came across a lot of articles that explain the 1987 cherokee having major grounding flaws... honestly, I wouldn't doubt if that is the...

If the O2 sensor was out, would it happen ALL the time when I get to operating temp? Or would it be sporadic like this? I literally tried for 45 minuts last night after the initial failure and...

I replaced the one that is right at the end of the manifold. Didn't have the option to buy another one at autozone, unless they are identical. Is there one near the muffler?

So I bought a new O2 sensor, old one didn't look bad but replaced it anyway as looks can be deceiving, no change at all. I drove for about 20 minutes and thought it was better but then pulled up...

that makes sense! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, I will replace the O2 sensor and report back with the results!

Ok, I will see if Autozone has one in stock and I will replace it tonight and get back to you! So this O2 sensor is likely failing, but not enough to cause the "Check Engine" light to go on i...

Very interesting, while I was aware of the Coolant Temp sensor, I really didn't know the relation between that and the O2 sensor. I will certainly go ahead and replace both of these as they are...

I will certainly give that a try first! Thank you so much for your response and confirming what I was thinking.

I have not, but will probably give it a shot in the next day or so. Would the heat of the engine play a role in the the failure of an IAC?

Hey Guys, first and foremost, thank you for the add! I just picked up my new (old) XJ a few weeks ago, and went through and replaced the timing chain, oil seal on the timing cover (it was leaking),...
