I’ve been chasing a battle of a...

    The heat in my jeep is not working. I am not really sure why. With me living in Ohio, it is a pretty chilly ride to and from school / work. I have flushed the heater core twice and there is nothing coming out except water. The jeep gets up to temperature (210) so I don't think it is the...

    1997 TJ wrangler check engine light

    Fuel pump was from a newer Tj. I was told it would need spliced in. Also, how do I go about getting the CEL cleared?

    1997 TJ wrangler check engine light

    I haven't had the code cleared. It will pop on and off at random times. It stays on around 90% of the time though. The fuel pump was spliced in because it came from a newer model TJ though
