SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ won't

if your jeep has a harder time starting when its warm as well, i would say the throttle position sensor is bad, or dirty. mine does tah same thing. i just live with it. its cheaper than replacing it.

SOURCE: 1992 Jeep Wrangler heater not blowing hot air

How often has the coolant been changed? My only guess is that it hasn't and the hoses and the heater core are plugged up with goo and a flush is needed

SOURCE: Hard starting when cold ( engine cranks normally )

see if your engine has a ECT sensor (temp sensor that delivers information to your ECM) they are installed on the intake side of the cylinder head, it usually has 2 cables, have it checked replace if necesary

Hello,

You need to call a Dodge dealer, have the VIN info from both Jeeps, they will tell you what will and will not work, if they dont call another Jeep & or Dodge dealer.

To my understanding only some sensor placement differences make these engines different.

For sure the 02 WJ intake will make more power then the 99, it will be worth it to make that intake fit.

Good Luck!

Hope this helps.

89 Chevy shy and Isaac 20 minutes surging why?

not told RPM of surge. (full range of surge)
hot engine surge, or cold or both?
it's old most do this old.
lots of causes.
but why tells the reasons
the IAC is bad or just lost control of engine for 50 other caused.
let say engine as huge vacuum leak
the PCM closes the IAC and can not correct the massive vacuum leak.
or engine goes lean?
or spark misfires so bad IAC can not correcthis.
bad engine, bad spark bad fueling can and will make IAC go dead.
in fact fixing IAC is last, in my book
if all is good just cleaning IAC fixes it. some times.
or replace it.
on old cars the ECU surges the IAC if spec idle speed can not be reached, 800 hot.

2003 jeep wrangler tj 2.4L my coolant fan won't come on. i replaced the coolant senser the relay and fuse still won't come on. i hot wire fan to the battery it comes on

2.4L so did you first idle it to get over heat,220f so it can kickon,
scanning the ECT s,proving it hit too hot,, per SM>??
the key here is what, a real schematic,
and a simple voltmeter
some jeeps also have a modulated fan.(and driver for it)
fuse 4, PDC good. tested?
it goes to fan relay , contacts and then to fan motor circuit breaker
no air pocket on top of engine,making, ECT lie?
i the pcm sees ECT overheat
it puts 12vdc across the fan relay coils
if not the wire there bad,cut or pcm bad.
the PCM pin C2-p17 LG wire goes to relay pin 4
he PCM grounds this pin (using a transistor)
the relay closes, fan turns on.

my guess, #2
TJ car.
here is the list;
  1. do not fiddle wires near horn sitting at steering wheel unless you defeat air bags first, per the BOOK "FSM" or u may die.
  2. check the fuses first.
  3. scan the PCM next, got DTC errors ?
  4. read the FSM yet?
here, TJ
http://colorado4wheel.com/manuals/Jeep/TJ/

the pdf.
chapter 8H> horn
and the schematic there 8w?
8w41-3 see that relay, does it click with button pushed?
key on?
need more ask.
is ground good to horn
did you hot wire horn to see if its really good first

I have a 2001 Jeep TJ.4.0L I6 5Speed 176,000Km When the engine is cold, at 1800RPM it makes a whining sound. It goes away when driven a couple miles.

It sounds like you need to replace the serpentine belt when they get old they will whine and when they warm up alot of times it will quit and sometimes not but it sounds like you just need a new serpentine belt which runs your water pump,alternator,powersteering.

When started idels high about 2000 rpm then drops when hot cold ?

the iac probably has carbon built up around it this controls the idle speed try cleaning it first,if not it could be a bad iac or a vaccum leak that the iac takes some time to compensate for to control idle.

1990 Ford Probe 2.2 automatic stalls in forward, reverse OK

Sounds like a bad IAC (idle air control valve/sensor) that controls your idle when going from throttle to idle. If bad your idle will act crazy and can cause stalls easily. Pretty sure that's it.
