Today, I started the ol' KJ that sat since last week's trip to the PA Jeep show. Started it up and the thing sat at just over 3 grand, didn't slow down. Shut it off, started it again same thing. Three times it happen. It is a good thing that I am not one of those start to drive guys, I would have went through the rear of the garage!!!! It did not pull a code. Problem: Very dirty valve body. Also has the reverse the KJ will shut down with a dirty vave body. Fix: Cleaned valve body with lint free rag, spray carb cleaner, and took out the lower sensor from valve body and that was all dirty. This has been a problem with the Grands, the first time I heard of this in the KJ. So guys, next time you change the oil, clean the valve body to be safe. Al |

yes the thottle body....brain fart! The high flow ifilter s one of those import cones. I keep it clean and oiled, but it may be letting dirt in. I guess I will need to stop being cheap and get a good filter. I have also noticed with 85K on the ol KJ there is some oil blow by (Tell tale sign of the rings or valve seals going) but I don't burn oil nor do I lose any. I don't add any during the 3K oil change interval. Its just the nature of the beast I suppose. The oil beather is piped right into the thottle bodyon my 2002, so I think this helping a little. Al |
