Title: Problems with the TJ
Post by: Tank on September 13, 2011, 08:29:10 PM

Apart from the clutch disappeareing,i started it tonight and although it fired up it almost immediately died,then when i started it again,had to give it throttle to get it to run,then when it did run it seemed like only firing on 3 cylinders.Are they connected at all??? Or have i more problems??

given the covering on the outside i gather the engine bay is almost the same colour.

Needing throttle to keep running initially and idling rough can also be a sign of a bad/discharged battery or bad connections.
