Title: wonder 4.0
Post by: M4wdFab on August 12, 2015, 11:44:01 PM
wonder 4.0


delivered to M4 for 700$

disapointed tires are miss matched and pretty junk, but over all still a good deal.  lots of hacks.



tonight on the lift, i got 3 out of 4 fenders cut out tucked, and trimed, new front lift coils and shocks before a test drive around the block.


shifts and goes ok, something is slamming like hell in the rear on the littlest bumps  its got to be broken sezied rear shocks or the tank flapping around.  interior pretty good, most of the body rot will be cut off with the normal xj trims


driving to work tomorrow!

for the top ball joints, do you find that it will push straight if you leave the tapered shank on it? or do you chop that off and use a piece of toob?
Title: Re: wonder 4.0

for removal?  i cut the taper off, then stick in a flange nut that pushes on the body

picked up a new front wiper motor assembly, and rear wiper arm today. yea! for working wipers all around again.  no delay as before when wipers went to slow to no go.  Must be a multi switch assembly issue.  no squirt on rear- looks also like a funky switch issue.

Swaped the purge solenoid with a yard part to try and start working on CELs.  probably will need to drop the tank and put in a new sender first.

gona try this. i guess its on the opposite side of the trans than where the cable hooks too.  ha i didnt look on that side

Mine was bad enough for long enough while I was in college that the split second jolts the starter would get trying to find the sweet spot in the shifter cracked the flex plate... Or at least the two happened coincidentally, and neither have happened again. But anyway, cleaned and greased and has been good since. Also fixed inop reverse lights as well.

Hannah's is weird sometimes but it started to break while I was taking it off so I left it.
Title: Re: wonder 4.0
Post by: M4wdFab on March 27, 2016, 10:01:21 PM
everything on the jeep works 100%, never had one single NSS problem. I am just trying to fix the transmission code that is sending the ECM to post a CEL.

i did noticed if you KEY on, put the trans in N, clear the CEL, start in N, then it will drive park reverse N with out any CEL, and will only reappear if you shut down then restart in either N or P. 


changed the Purge solenoid with a JY one and no diff.  going to try cleaning the contacts and or inspecting the wires

Post by: luvmyxj on March 28, 2016, 09:26:29 AM
not the same code i was getting. after quick searches everything leads to "the p700 code is a generic trans code which needs a DRBIII scan to give you exact details " .it may not even be the nss
Title: Re: wonder 4.0
Post by: M4wdFab on March 28, 2016, 09:33:55 AM
as what my research showed, untill i got the 705 code....   and the fact the code doesnt appear if you start in N as apposed to P, after a CEL clear with Key on

almost thought i was going to have to report the first SCR road service failure!  ridding dirty back from the city the other day- rear driver was pretty flat when i got back to the shop.  miles from comming apart im sure. 

turned out was a rotten or cut valve stem.  changed out and back in business


no effort on NSS codes or fuel sending unit change yet. 
Title: Re: wonder 4.0
Post by: M4wdFab on May 13, 2016, 10:52:01 AM
unit seized up something, belt hasnt blown off yet but no alternator, no water pump, no PS, squeeling and over heating past work commute. 

patting my self on the back for packing, fueling, food shopping ahead of time so i can just let this thing sit and think about what it has done instead of unhooking a trailer to run around the day i am leaving out of town.

installed new water pump, stat, two hoses, new JY efan installed, coolant flush, fluids topped off- back to 100% status

Also picked up Pet's old 33's from his TJ thats gone now.  Had to break down them all, clean beads out, new valve stems, and remount to fix leak down issues- but all good now.  little noisy compared to the SCR's that i put 7K miles on but should wear in a bit.  i think he put mostly trail miles on them and im sure they 5-10 years old lol. price was right.

they were new, after 7K there are at 50-60%   some flat spots started to show on the front.  they are completely hand mounted and not balanced at all.  no complaints at 80mph on 90. 


ordered a set of from yukon chromo shafts and this thing will be getting some lockers, skids, sliders, and bumpers soon.  why not.

havent been able to sell it as a 3K jeep as it is which i think is fair for the work done to it.  Sliders will take care of the last exposed rot. 

i doubt it will magically become a 4500$ jeep but im still only in 1500 ish or less as it sits.

new neutral saftey switch installed.  full function (same as old) verified for starting in P and N, no where else.  no backup lights still.  Still gives Trans code and Range sense code. 

bench tested purge solenoid for proper resistance and function.  Verified continuity from purge solenoid plug to ecm pin- ok.  no power on other side of purge plug with ig on or off. 

found fuse missing in kick panel that supports backup lights, purge solenoid, o2 circuits.  put fuse in. 
now have power to purge, backup lights work for first time since owner ship.

multiple code clears, still have same 3 codes for trans malfunction, range select malfunction, purge sol circuit error.

purge solenoid feels like its trying to softly kick, but no where near the bench testing click. 

suspect ECM driver bad. 
no idea on trans codes.

Replaced fuel sending / pump module.  fuel gage works so far. 
Title: Re: wonder 4.0
Post by: mr.mindless on June 23, 2016, 11:18:45 AM
could the trans code actually be a t-case code? I've been wondering to myself what the hell a range switch could be in a trans but I'm reasonably sure the transfer case has a switch to tell the PCM high or low range.

just another thought

Post by: M4wdFab on June 27, 2016, 10:39:05 AM
update

CEL has been off for a few days on its own, but still has the same 3 codes when you scan it.  what a terrible system.  going to run a tank though it with normal driving and see if the purge code goes away.

all emmisions monitors are set that show available with torque. 

still suspect ECM driver for purge code, and i have no further action to trouble shoot trans codes.

morning long crank issue gone with new sender unit / pump.
