Hack's 2000 XJ Build Thread

[Hack12]

Here are a couple shots I found on the web of what the ZoneWorx light bars look like.

This is the style I'm hoping for.

Well, this happened tonight while idling in the parking lot on break at work. :grayno:



I tried to grab the code by doing the "key turn" trick that I used to use on my JK, but it didn't seem to work. I think I remember reading somewhere that the trick only works on the 96 and older XJ's. I guess I'll have to take it to Autozone in the morning to pull the code.

 

[Hack12]

Screw Autozone. I'm gonna swing by Walmart on my way home from work tonight and grab a cheap OBDII scanner so I can read the code and clear it if need be.

I'll let ya'all know what I find...

You can also clear it by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins

 

[Hack12]

After scanning I pulled 3 codes. :grayno:

P0303, P0300, P0304.

All related to cylinder misfires. I cleared all three and I'm waiting to see if they return before I drop any serious cash.

Next step? Tune up?

Compression test, rule out a head gasket also could be bad coil packs or even crankshaft position sensor

OK thanks. I'm gonna wait to see if it throws the codes again or if it was just a one time thing before I drop it off.

Could it be related to the heat soak issue these things are famous for?

I've been told that's a loss of fuel pressure after its shut off

Yeah, I've also read a few things describing it being related to oil pressure.

Either way, probably has nothing to do with the misfires.

Doubtful but testing your secondary ignition system is a good idea

Absolutely. For a 15 year old XJ with high mileage, it runs beautifully so I don't have much to complain about.

Xjs are always worth it

Another snowstorm headed for RI...

 

[MattAlpha]

Looking good with the snow accents!

My kids have school cancelled already.

We'll see...how much ice is the question mark on Aquidneck island.

 

[JKWrang]

Yeaaaa so much snow here too

Yep, my daughter already has the day off tomorrow too. This has been one strange winter for sure. Not a flake through the holidays and most of January and then we get relentlessly pounded with no end in sight. :crazyeyes:

I didn't know they let Jeeps this old on the forum.. Is that an original Willy Jeep from World War II? Was Patton in that Jeep too?

Welcome to WAL? :hmm:

Are you talking about Tigrcky's avatar or my XJ? :thinking:
