    2.5 engine dies after sitting for a few months

    No I did not get the check the O2 sensor voltage. The scan tool that I borrowed I don't know how to really use to do that test. Any suggestions on how to do the test?

    2.5 engine dies after sitting for a few months

    I was able to borrow a basic code reader to get the code. I have no tools available to me up here so this is very difficult. I don't have my fuel pressure tester. My thought that it might have been a coil is because I've had a lot of old equipment with points and coils that it has happened to...

    2.5 engine dies after sitting for a few months

Got it started a few more times but only for a few seconds. The code that came up is p1391. Any advice would be great I think that...

    2.5 engine dies after sitting for a few months

    I put fresh fuel in it and stabilizer when I parked it so I don't think it's bad fuel. I will this weekend try which others have advice to check. I have to borrow some tools code reader from a friend seeing that none of my tools are up where the Jeep is anymore. Is there any particular brand of...

    Trans leak dye test

    So I have a auto trans leak on my 97 TJ. I bought the dye to do a leak test but it does not say how much dye to use. It is a 1oz bottle. Should I dump the whole bottle in or can I do 2 trans with 1 bottle? There is no instructions on the bottle. I would like to do my TJ and a GM TH350.

    Battery keeps dying

    I am not that familiar with AGM but from what I understand a regular charging system and battery chargers are not compatible with it. Am I wrong? They are more expensive.

    Battery keeps dying

    SO MY tj has been sitting and went to start it and nothing. Jumped it and ran it for awhile and all good. A week later dead. I use to sit for months and would start right up. Only thing that has changed was I put the factory rear wiper setup in. Will that have a draw even when Jeep is off?

    Transmission wiring diagram

    Just like JERRY stated and I found true all the connector needed are in the same harness tucked up there. Just find the plug that fits the connector on the trans. Not sure but think there is only 3-4 needed. reverse lights, neutral safety, speedometer and crank sensor.
