    Knocking, power loss, flashing CEL...f**k

    I have read that some kj's have been know to have problems with valve springs breaking. Which in turn could lead to sucking a valve into the cylinder! Runs fine to the store one min. Runs like crap the next. Unexpectedly. Not saying this is the case, just something else to think about.

    Purge Solenoid replacement cost

    Sorry for digging up posts from the grave. But there is no update on this. Reason asking is i have the same code now and really don't want to take to a shop unless i really have to. Emissions test coming up and need this fixed ASAP.

    AW4 Hard shift.

    Just as the title says. As the trans shifts through the gears, each one is shifting in to them really hard. Kinda gives a jolt. Doesn't matter how fast i'm driving or if the engine is hot or cold. Fluid levels look ok to me. Clean as well. Where should i start other than a shop? Thanks in advance.

    HOW TO: Install an aftermarket oil presure guage (electric sender)

    The reason for moving the sender to the wheel well is the size of the sender. The electric senders are HUGE and really didn't like the idea of something that big hanging off the block. And the question about the braided line.... Yes i agree that a breaded line will prevent any problems down...

    OK so after gathering info and how-to ideas from you. It's time i give back a little.:D Please keep in mind that oil fittings could leak. Causing potential engine problems, Fires, Break downs, and One hell of a mess if not tightened, checked and re-checked. All fittings and sending units are...

    KJ oil pressure?

    Thanks for all the help on this... I spoke to the master tech at the dealer today and they couldn't even give me an exact number either. He did say curb idle could be in the 25-40 range. As long as it doesn't drop below the min. 4 psi, There should be know reason to worry. Of course if your...

    KJ oil pressure?

    Would the oil filter have anything to do with the pressure? I used a Purolator oil filter. When i changed the oil i used Castol edge 5w 30. I have read that it could be a crappy filter and cause it to be hi. I also noticed today while driving it in the WARM UP phase. I come really close to 100...

    KJ oil pressure?

It could be the gauge... Will check this out for sure! Should i i do a write up on this for those that would...
