Well the accumulator plate looks perfect so that’s not the problem. I am going to pull the valve body and Ohm out the solenoids. If that checks good I guess it’s time to take it in.

It’s not too late, the pan is on, but only with 4 bolts I didn’t like the gasket, but wanted to keep dirt and dust out while I figure out what to do. I assume you are referring to the accumulator plate? If so then I need to look again. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for, but I have...

No worries, hope my post didn’t come off as snarky. I put a smiley face in there in hopes I wouldn’t be misunderstood. I certainly appreciate the advice you guys are giving me. I do have a code reader, OBDII or some such nonsense. It reads codes and erases them. I do get where you are coming...

I’ve never taken a vehicle to a mechanic in the last 29 years. I am not about to start now. If it’s above my comprehension I just educate myself. Like I said I only drive manual trans vehicles, mainly for this reason. :) I am going to pull the pan off and take a peek inside.

Not entirely sure, if its the original transmission then 241K miles.

The codes are P0733/34 I am not getting P0700 which I think is strange. The fluid level is fine as measured hot and in neutral. If it was low wouldn’t it affect every gear and not just 3/4? The fluid color is a bright clean red. Although it could have been that the PO changed fluid when the...

2002 Jeep Liberty Sport. Automatic and I assume it’s a 45RFE. I have no history on this thing, bought it for $300 Everything works on this vehicle except the transmission slips in 3rd I have park, reverse, neutral, first and second. When driving along and in drive it shifts fine from...

I have an 02 KJ with a bad transmission, but with a good engine . I also have an 04 KJ with a bad engine and a good transmission. While I am sure everything will bolt up just fine, my concern is the computer systems. I only have the title for the 04 so I plan on pulling the engine out of the 02...

Thanks. I’ll keep looking.

I have the opportunity to purchase a couple KJ’s on the cheap. They both have issues, but between the two I believe there is enough to create one running vehicle. My problem is they are both automatic. I loathe automatics, I have even gone as far as converting other vehicles from auto to...

Fixed, had to order the correct valve spring compressor tool as the generic tool didn’t work. Repair cost was right around $100 all in to include the tool. At least I have the tool for when the others go. I was lucky in that the spring broke in two but the valve spring keepers didn’t come off...

Broken intake valve spring. Hopefully I can replace it with the head on. The real question is when are the others going to go?

Not entirely sure, but I am guessing more than 0 on cylinder 4

Not on my watch it didn’t, but who knows about the vehicle history before it came into my possesion. This is my daughters vehicle for school, besides massive wiring problems, this thing had seemed to be mechanically sound. Every time I have driven it has been cool as a cucumber.

Ok, compression is as follows. 1-200 2-180 3-210 4-0 5-195 6- 205 So, isn’t that great. This thing has been nothing but problems. Guess I am pulling the head. Of course it’s on the A/C side. Also, cylinder 2 spark plug is clean as a whistle the rest are black as night. So...
