Well your engine temp sounds right no but ya the crack in the header wold definitely cause the temp under hood to rise and you'll probably smell alot of exhaust fumes in the cab too. A buddy of mine has the exact same problem.

Hey thanks man, I checked out the other threads and I think it might be my shocks, when I push on the front end they respond very slowly. So I plan on picking up a cheap pair of shocks on payday just to see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for the help!

Ya I just hit a hole the other day on a trail pretty hard, now I got a death wobble at 40mph in the front end lol

Ok so I was out on a trail the other day and hit a hole pretty hard, she rolled fine for the rest of the trail but when I go back out on the highway she started like hell at about 40mph. Me and a buddy took the dust caps off the front hubs and the bolts on both sides were loose, so we tightened...

Ya exactly lol

Yeah it does sound like the t-case, the reverse trick is always a good idea, just spin the tires a little in the sand or something and make sure just the rears are spinning.

I know what you mean bout waiting for the water level to go down, we got about a foot of rain over here in Sebring a week ago, waiting for the water to sink in a bit at the local mudhole lol and ya, Florida girls lol

Well hey glad to hear you got her running again, and hey thanks for the info steelheadz.

@SteelHeadz, I could be wrong but ive heard the magnetic pickup ring in the distributor can fail to send a proper signal causing the injectors to not open when you're trying to start the engine, am I right about that? Also a fuel pressure regulator comes to mind.

Oh ya got her good to go now, had a short in the hot wire going into that switch at the to of the brake pedal lol

Yeah that's what i'd do myself as well, trace it all the way back with a test light, checking any in-line fuses or anything like that, I know my front blinkers are really weak, they work but barely lol

Replaced the switch and it still didn't work, come to find out I had no power going into the switch so I fixed that and it works perfect now lol thanks though man!

Ok guys a buddy told me the other day as I left his house that my brake lights aren't working, sure enough, tail lights, turn signals, hazards, all working, but no brake lights. I checked all my fuses and they're all good, is there a brake light relay or something or could it be the sensor on...

Well it depends on how deep your pockets are lol There was a feature in an issue of JP magazine of a 4 liter pushing 1200 horses, but like I said, depends on how deep your pockets are.

I would have to agree about a circulation problem, could be a clog or something but usually the vinegar method solves that problem.

Just replaced the crank sensor in my 88 XJ, had the same symptoms. It's only a $30 part and if you replace it and it doesn't fix the problem you can always return it and reinstall your old one.

What the hell, might as well put my XJ in the mix 2 lol she's an 88', 4 liter, 2wd for now, stock ride height, and 30X9.50 Goodyear Wrangler GS/A's now.

X2 Sounds like your ignition switch but always check the fuse box before replacing anything else.

Ya all you gotta do is get the o2 sensor back in the pipe somehow, welded or threaded in, like steelheadz said it'll make your gas mileage increase back to factory ratings.

Lol not sure what that's about, sure there's a story behind it lol
