    Pulled Rug Surprise - Broken Fuel Tank Access Panel

    So I finally got around to pulling my dirty rotten carpet in order to switch to bed tred and low and behold a previous owner decided to cut a fuel tank access panel in the cargo area. What is even better is I had no idea it was a cut through the floor pan sealed with epoxy and while cleaning...

    Yet another TJ randomly stalling thread

    Hey everyone, for the second time my 97 TJ is suffering from the dreaded ghost stalls that come and go at random times. I've read a lot of threads already on the topic and it seems like I have the variety that is based on an electrical problem or a bad sensor but before I start doing work I...

    Stalling and Sputtering while Creeping Forward

    Yes I did get it fixed! It could have been one or two things or a combo of both. Took it to a transmission specialist and when we drove it around he said transmission was not the problem but it was switching too early. I told him I tried adjusting the throttle cable so he went back and did...

    How much transmission fluid to get back to max?

    Here is a photo. Seems like it is leaking all along the side of the pan. Any ideas?

    How much transmission fluid to get back to max?

    He didn't try any up selling. A rare honest mechanic who has worked on my family's cars for 15-20 years by now. Unfortunately I just checked and the leak is still there so might by the seal after all.

    How much transmission fluid to get back to max?

    Went all over my parking lot's floor lol. Took it to my mechanic yesterday thinking the rear seal needed to be replaced but he said the pan was loose and tightened it up for free. I'll go check in a bit and see if there are any new puddles this morning.

    How much transmission fluid to get back to max?

    Thanks everyone. So how many quarts should I buy? I'm right at the MIN line. Do you think 3 quarts would be enough? Or just buy more and return the ones I don't use? Really appreciate all the help.

    How much transmission fluid to get back to max?

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I have a 1997 Wrangler automatic transmission. My transmission fluid is at the MIN level and I was wondering if anybody knows about how much fluid it would take to get it back to MAX so I don't accidentally over fill it. Is there any trick to checking the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Put in a new IAC and PCV Elbow/Grommet in hopes of fixing a stalling problem but it is still happening. Also replaced the AC blower resistor to get the AC working at all speeds.

    Issue With Stalling/Hesitating

    I'm having similar problems so I feel your pain. I'm not an expert but I read that stalling could be related to the throttle cable so I did an easy adjustment today. It didn't fix the stalling but it fixed a hard shift between one of the gears. Worth a shot considering how easy it is. Also...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Adjusted the throttle cable and fixed a rough shift I was having between 2nd and 3rd. It was a little loose.

    Stalling and Sputtering while Creeping Forward

    No stall today but it came damn near close a few times. After going a few feet to my parking lot stop sign it went back into neutral and drive wasn't engaging when I was trying to get going. A couple seconds later it engaged on its own. Trans problems?

    Stalling and Sputtering while Creeping Forward

    Does anyone know what that loose cable is for? I see photos of it attached to the throttle body like the other 2. Could this be causing the problem?

    Stalling and Sputtering while Creeping Forward

    About 55 degrees here in Miami this morning and it stalled going from reverse to drive when I was backing out. Right when I switched to drive the RPMs just tanked to 0. Any ideas?

    Reverse to Drive sputter / stall

    Did you ever do the power brake booster fix? I have the same exact issue. Cleaned the IAC and throttle body and still stalling.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Cleaned the throttle body and IAC but the IAC is still pretty gnarly. This pic is after cleaning.

    Stalling and Sputtering while Creeping Forward

    Hi everyone, first off thanks for being so helpful. I got my first TJ (2001) at the beginning of 2018 and have found so many answers on these boards. Unfortunately that Jeep got stolen but I just replaced it with a 1997. I'm having a little trouble that seems to be somewhat common since there...
