Title: Couple of intermitent probs on 98 XJ Cherokee 2.5 petrol sport; FIXED
Post by: stone-islandv8 on June 13, 2010, 08:51:24 PM

Wondered if anyone could throw some light on these 2 probs that surfaced internitently over this weekend on my 1998 Cherokee 2.5 petrol sport;
1; When coming down any steep roads and braking, clutch in to stop at bottom of road revs drop to around 250,engine feels like trying to stall, blip the throttle and revs jump back to norm...doesnt do it when stopping on the level, uphill or down light slopes.

2; My mate was following behind me tonight and noticed on a couple of occasions when I indicated left both rear indicators flashed....got home and tested in and it did it again...indicate left, left indys front and side flash and borh rear indys flash..... then tried again 5 mins later and they worked fine.

Any thoughts?

Ta, John

Sorted now......fuel was v low...gauge playing up.

Checked the indys and the left hand side was virtually hanging off...all bolts loose,tightened back up and problem sorted.
