2.5 liter

Does anyone know about any common motor noises on a 2.5 4cyl? I owned a 2000 jeep wrangler with the 2.5 and it has the same engine knock that my current 1999 jeep tj se has with the same motor. I checked the valve train and the lifters and they weren't loose or worn, the jeep has excellent oil...

Hi all, Someone stop me if this already exists, but I haven't found it, so here we go. If I keep this updated well enough, it can be a place where we collect links of relevant threads, and also the names of other members who are in this same SE boat. General, Reference Info: 2.5 vs 2.4...

So I was coming home from FT Lauderdale back to Winter Haven, and on SR-60 my Jeep started to do the shake and then CEL came on full flash, used my scan tool, Cyl 4 Misfire, hotswapped the plug at an auto zone and boom all good until it started happening again, took it to my mechanic he said the...

Alright i have a small issue if you could help me figure out the issue id appreciate it alot. I have a '98 wrangler se (auto 2.5) and when i put it in drive it tends to take off in 2nd. If i take off using the manual shift its fine. Fluid levels are fine no water in tranny. Any ideas what it...

This is my 2000 Jeep Wrangler SE 2.5L with 150k miles. Check engine light is not lit and no codes. Oil pressure seems fine and she seems to drive fine. Recently had the exhaust manifold gasket replaced, which solved a lot of noise. I have a light but fast ticking sound at startup, and after...

I’ve had a problem with my 2000 Jeep Tj 2.5l overheating when I turn off the ignition. When I’m idling, revved up to high rpms, on the interstate, or any other situation where it’s turned on, I have zero issues with overheating. It stays right under the middle 210 mark (so maybe around 180-190)...

First post to Wrangler TJ Forum. I recently got my first Jeep (manual 2000 TJ with 2.5L engine with just under 150k miles) and I want to tune up everything myself. I’ve searched these threads and but I still can’t figure out what fluids are the correct ones to use and how much (everyone seems to...

So every time I start my Jeep no matter if it’s just run for 2 hours or 10 minutes, fully warm or cold no matter what exactly 2 min after starting it will just stop putting power to the engine. It’s kinda hard to describe but immediately at around 2 min of running it will just have no power...

Thoughts? New to Jeeps and new to car repair. If I can diagnose it I’m confident I can repair it. I think it might be the cap or maybe the tube’s clamps? I’m hoping someone will be like: “Oh I had this totally happen. It’s ____.” 😂

My Jeep is my daily driver. I love her very much but man, putting my foot to the floor to get up that highway hill, the low mpg, the slight jurky jurk past 60mph... I love all these qualitys, hense, well duh the 2.5L... but online I only find resources for off roading tire information. Could we...

Question for all. To start with I am new to this at 50 and am looking for meaningful input. I recently bought a 98 TJ with a 4 cyl 5 speed. It is a riot but as most of you know gutless. This winter I am going to tear it down and do some mods and am now stocking the parts to do them. It is...

Hi All, I posted a while back about recommendations as to why my 97 wouldn't run. A mechanic took a look and diagnosed the camshaft as bad. So, I found a 98 wrangler Tj with a 2.5 and decided that would be a perfect switch. We now have the 98 motor moved over into the 97 frame, all hooked up...

So I’ve had this problem going on for a while but it’s been off and on. I have 1998 2.5 liter with 72000 miles and the clutch is making a growling noise when idling. When I engage the clutch it goes quite but is still slightly there. It doesn’t have any problems changing gears but the noise it...
