Good luck. Service is VERY expensive on this vehicle
I found the diff manual free online if your mechanic needs to take apart the diffs or case. http://www2.dana.com/pdf/X5001-CVSP.pdf
I wish you godspeed! -Chris
You can find the maintenance schedules with the Edmunds Car Maintenance Guide.
Paper filters are cheap and easy.
The other potential issue is that you may have some sort of vacuum leak if the fuel pressure and wiring are OK.
I have 96 Windstar that had stalling problems. I ended up having to replace the power brake booster. Your mechanic should know more about it than me.
I hope I have a buyer soon on my 99. One of these folks told me that his GC does not like the heat. Mine included. It runs far better, and with noticeably more pep, when it is below 60F. Weird.
Is it because the air is more dense when cold?
I have replaced several oil pans on older vehicles and I always find a lot of gunk on the pickup screen which I clean.
Ask your auto parts what you should use to clean it. Maybe a spray can of carburetor cleaner?
I have a 97 Jeep 4.0L I6, 186,000 and my injectors and fuel pump are OK. I have never put injector cleaner in it.
There might be a product that can clean the injectors which connects to the fuel rail
..or the screen at the bottom of the pump got clogged when all that junk broke free..? thats why i wont run cheap gas-even tho my-98 5.2 REALLY likes gas!!.. my best reading on th trip comp has been 17=and averages 15mpg..
with gas averaging 4-headed for 5 buks per, the 10,20 cents per gal diffrence aint worth the worry...
I buy th marathon premium--they put the injector cleaner in at the fuel depot !
one other thought.. check the evaporation can looks like a coffe can up near the radatior on most could be your jeep might've gone swimming..and still has water in the line that vents the tank?

...one thought--check th connector on th transmission-i think thats where they hide the safety switch..fill it with non-conductive-dielectric grease-and use it on every bulb you replace as well...couldn't hurt,and might help! :shades:
Just throwing idea's out to see if we can :sick: nail down the source of the problem.
(BTW, I clean out the bulb contacts about every three months. The bulb is almost never the problem).
checked th local "quicky lube"-and they wanted $250 for a trans flush-witch is suposed to backflush th filter,along with replacing ALL th fluid,where pulling th pan,leaves two quarts in th torque converter.. while not a remedy for worn clutch packs,it might help..
it's amazing how folks change th crankcase oil religously,but ignore th trans fluid/?? mebee at least every other year?? :confuse:
Make sure you have absolutely no leaks, especially the trans cooler lines. They should be bone dry. I believe leaks affect the pressure.
I think you can rule out an electrical fault.
I have a 97 and believe it or not Autozone had new trans cooler lines in stock. They were a pain, but not to bad to replace. You may need a spcecial tool to disconnect them at the transmission.
the fact that i was getting over 15 city/25 highway tells me the car is CAPABLE of that kind of performance. how would fixing a vacuum leak cause it to drop like that? more to the point, how can i get it back???
Thanks.
