What should the temperature be in a Jeep Wrangler?
210-degrees F makes us wary but will not hurt your iron block-and-head Jeep 4.0L engine. Also check the ohms reading at the CTS, these sensors can be off and give a false gauge reading.
What causes no start on a jeep 4.0L?
Updated: 29 June 2019. Article Id: 420. A no start condition, on your 4.0L Jeep, is usually caused by a lack of fuel, or a lack of spark, or a lack of air (generally engine compression).
What should the fuel pressure be in a 4.0L Jeep?
Your fuel pressure gauge should register: 30 to 45 PSI with the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) if the fuel pump is OK. Let’s take a look at what your results mean: CASE 1: If the fuel pressure gauge registered 0 PSI This confirms that the cause of your 4.0L engine’s no start problem is caused…
Why is my oil pressure so low in my Jeep?
I was beginning to wonder about this, and started to get pretty irritated. i installed a mechanical gauge to be certain it was true. i got p!$$ed the other day and dropped my oil pan (with intentions to put in a High Volume oil pump) and say something shiny by my cam…

Where is the temp sensor on a jeep?
The one wire sensor in the back sends temp readings to the gauge in the Jeeps dash. If you temp gauge isn’t acting right, replace the one wire. The two wire sensor located in the thermostat housing sends its signal to the PCM. For poor performance issues and testing we are going to look at the two wire up front.
How does the coolant sensor work on a jeep wranger?
Coolant temperature sensor test and change for the Jeep Wranger. Coolant Temperature Sensor monitors the temperature of the water in the engine. The PCM uses this temperature reading to adjust the fuel injection and timing. In some cases the PCM uses the reading from the sensor to turn on the electric cooling fan if so equipped.
How tall are the gears on a 99 XJ?
When I set up the ’99 XJ 4.0L with a long-arm lift and 33″ tires, I changed the original ring-and-pinion gears to 4.10 ratio from 3.55 OEM. The 3.55 OEM gears were actually “tall” to start with, and if I had it to do again, 4.56 would have been smart.
What to do if your Jeep Wrangler overheats at idle?
If suddenly your Jeep begins to overheat when idling, we have another issue altogether. Because you’re not driving, the primary engine fan should engage once the engine reaches operating temperature and continue to circulate coolant to keep the engine temperature consistent. But what happens if this is not the case?
What should I use to cool my Jeep Wrangler JK?
Use Mopar 68048953AB Standard HOAT Coolant and Antifreeze for 07-12 Jeep Wrangler JK. The coolant contains many additive which are designed to prevent corrosion in the cooling system, but they unfortunately have a limited life span, which requires replacing.
Is there an electric fan in a Jeep Wrangler?
The OE electric fan helps considerably, but your Wrangler does not have one like the XJ. You do have a nicely sized mechanical fan and shroud, though, and if the fan clutch works properly (check it), you should be okay.
What should the coolant temp be on a Jeep Wrangler?
CTS ohms should be consistent with the actual coolant temperature. That is why I suggested measuring the thermostat housing temperature—close to the coolant temp sensor. Compare the real coolant temperature to the CTS and gauge reading; see whether the sensor and gauge are accurate for the coolant temperature.

Do you need to change speedometer pinion on Jeep Wrangler?
I added weight with the ARB front bumper, Warn rear bumper/tire carrier, bigger tires and spare tire, etc. Gearing is now the equivalent of “stock”, in fact I did not need to change the speedometer pinion, the speedometer is right on with the original speedo driven gear.
What should the operating temp be on a 33 ” tire?
Given the added load of the 33″ tires without an axle ratio change, warming to 210-degrees F would be likely on these grades. You could suspect other things like the engine speed decrease (your thought) or a fan clutch issue, but the 185 degree F operating temp under most circumstances is very acceptable/desirable.

What was the problem with my 2002 Jeep Wrangler?
Start run, a little rough, but accelerating fine. After 10 of driving 2800 rpm problem returns. Code P0303 back. Drove the Jeep to the store in very cold temps. Ran rougher than before and got a new code P0135 02 Sensor error, P0300, P0304, P0303, P0305, P0306
Why is my Jeep Wrangler engine hard to start when hot?
No announcement yet. My son owns a ’97 Wrangler with a 4.0 which has been hard to start lately after it has warmed up. He says it starts fine when the engine is cool. He thinks it may be the fuel pressure regulator and we will check the fuel pressure when he is home this weekend, but what else do we need to check?
Why is my Jeep Wrangler sputtering under load?
A sputtering Jeep Wrangler can be caused by any of the below bad components: So there’s a host of possible causes why your Wrangler can become sluggish and sputter under load. The above-mentioned solutions will vary, depending on which year model Wrangler you own.
Why is my quadratec engine hard to start when hot?
The gas boils in the fuel system before the injectors, and will not vaporize properly when this hot. The Jeep dealer said the fix was to install some insulating material between the injector rail, and the intake manifold. That did not fix it. The only way it will start again after getting hot, is to open the hood and let some heat escape.
