SOURCE: 1989 jeep starts slow and not at all?

Are you talking about a slow crank or not starting right away?

Replace steering stabilizer and rotate tires every three thousand miles. Rotation is actually the most important. Took me two sets of tires, before they were worn out, to realize the problem.

The sensor for the speedometer is in the tailshaft of the transmission its called a vss vehicle speed sensor,all you have to do is unplug the plug and unthread it and replace.

Check the connection to the speed sensor gear. It will be a cable plugged into the output shaft on the top of the transfer case (behind the transmission). It is possible that it became disconnected or has a broken wire.

Hello, I just purchased a used 1989 Jeep Wrangler and the instrument panel doesn't work (speedometer, fuel gauge, etc). Is the remedy something I could do myself? And what would the remedy be?

on the older jeeps the gauge cluster with the fuel gauge, clock and temp cauge is controled ny a riboin cable on the back. when i got mine theis didnt work either, the cable was dirty. its real easy to take them out all you will need is a phillips screw driver and a q tip and some rubbing alchole. clean it up and see if that does it.

My 1991 Jeep Wrangler, 4 cylinder backfires when I get up around 40 or 50 MPH. It starts to loose power first then backfires. I re-gaped the plugs to specs., changed the fuel filter, but it still does it....

could be the cat.but i would look first at the egr valve and the vacume lines that run to and from it,and vacume test it to see if its working correctly.

Our 1989 Toyota won't go over 50 mph, won't reverse, was told needs transmission work, but want to know if non-working speedometer could be the cause because it doesn't "recognize" to shift...

Hi!

The speedometer effect the shifting of the transmission. But not having a Reverse has nothing to do with the speedometer. So all I can say is : Before you spend lot of money on fixing the transmission , Change your transmission fluid and filter , Use some fresh good brand of Transmission fluid and take your car for a test drive again and see if there is any change.If not then fix your speedometer then try again, If the problem is not solved then have your transmission serviced by tranny Shop. Good luck

I have 2002 jeep wrangler at speeds between 50 nad 55 mph I get a vibration in the the front steering. I changed the steering damper and had the tires rotaded and balanced and i still have the problem.

have the mounts checked on the control arms, alot of times the can bend slightly due to a "curb" check. Call a local 4X4 shop and tell them you are experiencing the "death shake" they should know what you are talking about. That was the problem on my 02 TJ, i had replaced everything when i noticed that the angle on the control arm looked a little off.

95 jeep wrangler overheating and hissing sound

Had the same problem on my 95 Wrangler within the last month. I was told that the radiators on Wranglers tend to wear out, and don't push fluid through after 10 years or so. I decided to 'fix' everything at the same time. I replaced the radiator, the radiator hoses, and the water pump. That stopped the leaking, and fixed the problem. Water pumps run less than $50, and is actually something you can do yourself. I'm not mechanically inclined, but I needed to save the labor charges from the mechanic, so I took at shot. I had no problems. It does help to have an extra pair of hands to replace the serpentine belt.
