Autozone or any good auto part store should be able to read the code and have it tell you what the issue is. I messed mine up wheeling in mud. Died while driving 55mph on the highway back to the hotel --- WHILE CROSSING A BRIDGE! That was fun. It could be the distributor too, so it would be worth a look see by opening it up and checking the points and such to ensure they are dry. If not, shoot some WD40 in there (after all it IS for water displacement) and try again. But if you are throwing codes, I'm willing to bet your TPS is shot. |

Replying to: jeepguy48 (Jun 17, 2008 7:11 pm) I'd suggest some decent fuel injector cleaner into the gas tank and perhaps fill up at Chevron (or buy some Techron) just to help clean things out. I'd also consider checking the plugs/wires to ensure they are working fine. Check the coloration on the plugs to determine if the engine is running lean or rich. I'd also check the air filter to ensure it is clean. It SOUNDS to me like either bad gas or a few minor maintenance issues may be the culprit. Mine has never had that noise so I'm not too sure where to point ya? Mac????? -Paul

I recently dove my 2001 Jeep Wrangler into a mud pit and got it stuck. I didnt know at the time that the dealership or the previous owners had pulled the drain plugs and when I got stuck I flooded the interior of the jeep. Im sure im not the first person to do this so any cleaning tips anyone might give me would be greatly appreciated. I also had to be pulled out and when I came out I couldnt get the clutch to engage. After a 4 mile tow by my buddys jeep out of the woods I had it Towed to my mechanic. Thinking I had destroyed the clutch. My mechanic "also a jeep enthusiast" told me that I had somehow jammed enough mud into the slave cylinder to prevent it from engageing the clutch. He cleaned it and the jeep worked again. However my clutch still seems slugish and my check guages light keeps popping on. I plan to due a full fluid replacement oil, transmission fluid, radiator flush. Any advise on either problem would also be appreciated. P.S. this is a 2001 4 cylinder 5 speed. also any advise on how to prevent this from happening again.

Replying to: jeepguy48 (Jun 29, 2008 11:56 am) I do...me...over here... Oh, you wanted the actual figure? Ok, sorry too much coffee..... It should be 49psi +/- 5psi constantly while running or ign on. WOT or idle, it should be the same. The amount of fuel getting to the pistons is controlled by the injectors, which in turn are controlled by the PCM. If your pressure is less it could be a pump, filter, pressure regulator, or fuel line issue. If it's more, then it's the regulator. Now, where are those donuts...........
