Clutch was really agressive right off - new? or maybe just from sitting? it evened out by the time I got lunch.

there was also a couple drips on the floor by the ebrake pedal, little rain water leak somewhere.

window seals on old XJ's notorious for leaking...
might need to address that at some point after body work..

clutch was new when new motor went in 25K ago..
prob form sitting..

idle still bad?

once it's warm it just idles rough. Cold it purrrrrrs, and it drives fine.

may even be idle speed, or it could be mixture (O2 sensors, TPS, IAC), or dirtyness (injectors, plugs, etc - but at 25k that all should be fine)

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: M4wdFab on January 12, 2012, 04:44:17 PM

sounds like bad o2 if thats the problem in closed loop. 

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?

the long block has 25K.. not all the acc.

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: mr.mindless on January 12, 2012, 08:23:42 PM

I unplugged the O2. See if it changes anything. Wires on the O2 make it look brandy new, doesn't mean it's good or right though.

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: rejeep on January 12, 2012, 08:58:23 PM

86 vintage...

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: mr.mindless on January 12, 2012, 09:17:34 PM

Older than Alex, maybe Matt and Harrison too?

Loose DS outside mirror
Similar vibe/rumble to Beeper at 60ish
Check engine light has to be burned out, it's not lit w no O2 sensor
Idles too slow, but I think smoother? Tough to say.

Well in theory...

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: M4wdFab on January 12, 2012, 10:32:48 PM

Hmmm...
Where would the spring hangers go?  Or are we talking coil overs?

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: M4wdFab on January 12, 2012, 10:36:18 PM

personally id leave it leafs. id have to look and plan it out but the shackles would end up something like right at or just behind the tailgate. 

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: rejeep on January 12, 2012, 10:39:04 PM

And the gas tank?  Might get funky under there.

You don't like body work though...
I would have to dust off the old welder...

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: M4wdFab on January 12, 2012, 10:42:33 PM

i can do anything, but if it involves paint, the paint must be bedliner.... 


i could get it solid and straight for someone else to prep and paint easy....

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: M4wdFab on January 12, 2012, 10:43:13 PM

or, just add a stripe where the bob is like eric did on the yota

Interesting...
Well before I pull the trigger on the old white one..

I'm getting this one up and running well and out it through its paces..
Have to analyze the rust issues, cab corners, and bed... Bit that's not an issue...

I really just miss my MJ... Can't wait to toot around in it..

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: mr.mindless on January 12, 2012, 10:48:23 PM

Plugged the O2 back in at wegmans and drove home. Unplugged it in the driveway idling rough at home. Zero difference at all. I think it's just idling at 400 once it's warm. Tough to say without a tach.

Runs and drives real nice.

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?

And rides better than & handles more surely than a certain around town beater of mine.

I need clean body and papers with shot motor not the other way around :)

I also need another project like I need another hole in the head! ;)

Title: Re: Hows the MJ drive?
Post by: rejeep on January 13, 2012, 12:08:22 AM

Papers... We don't need no stinking papers..

4x4 works!

that reminds me, I was thinking it may have a vacuum leak.  the 4x4 light on the dash only turns off under lower vacuum (harder acceleration). Seems a little backwards, but details.. Silly CAD
