95 jeep wrangler making tractor/old tyme car sound

Sounds like a diesel. Glow plugs usually need to be warmed up before starting an engine. Smaller diesels either warm up quicker or it is less critical than a tractor trailer. So either your glow plug light is normal letting you know it needs time to warm up or it's letting you know they are weak and need to be replaced. I'd check the owners manual to be sure.

If it doesn't leak and when you start it it doesn't rattle like no oil at start up its fine. In the old days some cars came with short filters we put long ones on if headers made the oil filter not fit we would use a shorter one. On a lawn tractor find a filter that fits and fay 2.50 in place of the high priced ones from the lawn mower shop for10.00 or more

Try checking the battery and battery leads. Sounds as though you have a bad battery. Also check your fuses under the hood and dash.

sounds like a bad clutch master cylinder mabee low on fluid check that first

sounds like possible timing problem ( chain and gears or distributer or ignition wires )

start with fuse then switch and the motor

if this is something that started suddenly, it could be a leak in your master cylinder or slave cylinder, or your fluid could be low, or there could be air in the lines. Make sure it's full of fluid, and get back to me.

replace the ignion mod. on left front finder at the bottom under the washer bottle next to the fire wall.

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.

Best thing to do is make sure nothing is bend or broken in the skeleton. Start from front sleeve above windshield. Secure the snaps on the roll bars. Then work to the back.
