    Tipm to alternators has extra wire

    They are likely grounds. At least the terminal with many wires. Probably low on the left head. Other, I am not sure, but a meter or test light might help ID the issue.

    Redid brake system but left with a problem

    The defective hose will balloon out like an aneurysm - Pressure makes the weak place bulge. There may or may not be a leak, but if the hose is bulging, it needs replaced. There may be 5 hoses in total, one for each wheel and one from the rear brake line from the abs that hits a metering block...

    Redid brake system but left with a problem

    Are we losing brake fluid when the engine is running and the pedal goes to the floor? - if yes - I suspect the master cylinder is leaking into the booster. -- quick and dirty test - pull the vacuum hose at the manifold or the booster and see if it is wet inside. --- yes - bad master / no - keep...

    Redid brake system but left with a problem

    Just to add - A brake pedal will be extrememly firm with the engine OFF. With engine running - the pedal action is 'softer' Your tell here is - Does the pedal continue to the floor with engine running. If yes, you have a leak somewhere. If just 'not what it was' before changing the brake...

    Mysterious coolant leak....????

    Check the return line on top of the coolant reservoir tank. My 06 has a habit of leaking a bit there - there is a crack in the plastic, even though the insert sleeve is still there. It’ll weep a bit when hot, and promptly dry itself up.

    Point being : you need a diagram from electrical section in the manual to see if there is a common point - of connection - like the ground points Ivan looks at - to determine IF this is why the jeep runs poorly.

    Congo714: check out this very helpful YT video. Granted, it is a newer jeep, but if you will indulge a bit and follow Ivan’s diagnostic process, it may be very enlightening. These KJ are old and brittle and just maybe an issue like this ground gremlin is causing your problems.

    2.8l crd start issues.

    Sounding seized - or a spun bearing, etc. Find whatever socket fits the crank bolt, get a breaker bar in there and turn the engine by hand with the bar and socket. Turn only in the direction the engine normally rotates. Does it turn easily all the way thru 2 cycles? Hard spots? Relatively...

    Much better now! I admit to being a bit stumped at this point. Q: on the coil packs you used - what brand? You will find on these jeeps, that they are very picky about sensors and the like. For coils, OEM or Standard Motor Products are preferred. Any chance you still have the old coil...

    Failed block test

    Could also be the water pump impeller. Slow at idle, litte / no flow Faster RPM, the pump goes faster and may move coolant - also, convection thru the radiator helps cool. Not sure what a 'block test' is - There is a kit you can get with a colored fluid that is held to the coolant filler...

    Congo - you need to break this down a bit. trying to read into your story - you changed plugs and coils. Truck did or did not run before ? not specified but Now, definitely no start. since the engine cranks, spray a bit of brake clean into the throat of the throttle body and crank again -...

    2003 Jeep Liberty gas tank issue.....

    Suspect the fuel line connection - since your fuel pump is in the tank, there is pressure on the line right from key on. drop the tank and see what is going. There was a way to open an access hatch - (home made) and access from the top, but it is not factory and you risk sparks near gasoline.

This is where I work on my KJ. I volunteer my time at a community car club that is VERY well equiped. They let me keep my toolbox there and they gav
