Ok, I have to relay this experience I had today.
I'm on my way to work this morning on the freeway and I start to hear the
valves tapping.  I look over and my oil pressure is at 0.  Krap, so I pull
over immediately and pop the hood.  I have oil everywhere.  On the street,

Yep.  My st00pid idle problem got the better of me so off
went the ZJ to a local wrencher (Sooner Auto).  Nice people
with a lot of experience.  They checked the injectors, compression,
fremble valves, and all were within spec.  Biggest problem was my

with the gas prices going so high i am tying to get my 1986 jeep cj7 258 6
cyl with a r.v. cam (for low torque) to run on pump gas. i have a msd ss
coil, lighter centrifigal advance spring in it. i was running 12 degrees
advance on super unleaded and had to go all the way down to 6 ...

1942 - 1945 Jeep wanted.   Prefer it be in running condition & near Southern
California, but not mandatory.  Contact Jon at mr92620@aol.com 949-786-8122

WHOO HOO!  My inspection ran out at the end of last month and I was
really worried about passing.  I redid the front and rear brakes since
the brakes were really bad on it and also replaced the windshield
wipers since they ALWAYS seem to want to replace mine on whatever

sorry, not trying to spam or anything...I have always had soft tops and soft
doors...bought the jeep a couple years ago and have felt "confined" with the
hard top and doors...so....sold the top...doors have to go....need my
freedom...lol...

my 87 yj has been sitting all winter i started it several times. just back on
the road and it really bogs out at about 3000 rpms..is this just bad gas or
should i look for something else
any advise would be appreciated direct e-mails even more so

what should be the operating temp for a 4.0  5 speed manual 1997 TJ?
perhaps sender is off but gauge reading 210 degrees - no problems and still
reading high with brand new radiator and hoses?
is 210 norm?

today i instaled my trottle body spacer,i have k&n cold air intake and 2"
exhaust.I could tell the difference in power and rpm climped fast,so i love
it(can't wait for mud).one big problem it's sounds like a blower,,very
anoying.         I don't want to awake my neibhors at 4:30 am ...

I am gonna buy some tires soon.  I regeared my '97 TJ to 4.10, so obviously
large tires are possible on that front at least.  However, I cannot due to
numerous reasons lift the Jeep any time soon.  Plus, I have  a 35c rear axle.
SO, I'm debating over getting 31's and running them ...

Size will most likely be 31's, vehicle is a '97 TJ 4.0L.  Gearing 4.10.  I want
an aggressive tire that wears well on-road, is not obnoxiously noisy, and works
great in slick mud and wet snow.  Which is better?

buy used any suggestions
thank you all in advance

I was driving an 83 CJ-7 with a T-5 5-speed the other day and it the
transmission worked very well, no grinding into gears, etc., except that
sometimes it was hard to "find" third. When moving the shift lever up from
second to third sometimes I missed getting it into gear and had to ...

So, here we were waxing on the non-merits of Dr. Diesel's automotive curse
(the diesel engine) when my memory banks of VW diesel horror stories were
suddenly jolted loose and dislodged. Apparently the ill-advised proponents
of the proposition that passenger car diesels should again ...

Ok...here's a question? My jeep has a vac leak somewhere around the
firewall. I've checked and looked all over the place but can't find
it....and to make things worse you can only hear it when your on the
highway (quits when you exit and stop to check lol)and let me tell
