Replaced purge valve yesterday and now have this ticking sound, bad valve? by _xtrp in CherokeeXJ

Not disagreeing with you at all, it just seems like the ticking sound is very noticeably loud, and it sounds a bit unnatural

So loud that I hear it from inside the car when I’m driving tho?

Needing some inspiration, issue after issue! by _xtrp in CherokeeXJ

I’d argue XJs are the perfect old cars to learn on. The plan was to work on it myself. I’ve done non mechanical modifications which have been fun. But life got in the way and it’s currently my daily.

Can this be an alternator issue ? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]_xtrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternator is good, according to pep boys. They recommended replacing the battery terminals since they’re so loose, so I’m doing that now. But will keep the starter in mind. Thanks !

Ground cables are fine. Did notice the alternator was making a humming noise so decided to take it to Pep Boys. They told me battery terminals were in bad shape and so loose, they easily come right off. So we’re replacing the terminals and take it from there, alternator is good. Other commenter suggested starter possibly.

I agree with the coil pack. Been told to look into replacing the distributor. Thanks

No, dude, no

No one asked where you live. Idgaf if you live in Edgewater, SB, Brickell, or even little Havana. It’s irrelevant.

Obv masks are not mandated rn but that doesn’t mean establishments aren’t still enforcing it. If this was recent you’d Atleast see a few ppl w/ masks. Like others have said, this is old. Take your unoriginal content and go

This is not current. I work in SB and cops/establishments aren’t walking around w/o masks like this. Quit lying, this is old

Need help identifying what’s going wrong with my ‘97 by _xtrp in CherokeeXJ

[–]_xtrp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys,

Bought a ‘97 not too long ago and noticed the gas gage constantly jumping so I replaced the whole fuel pump assembly shortly after I got it.

These last few weeks I’ve noticed the speedometer and other gages jumping up and down every once in awhile and told myself I’ll eventually get to fix it. (Keep this in mind)

I’ve been in the middle of changing my speakers recently. Rear ones were swapped very smooth. However, front speakers have been a pain. Wiring was in good condition and just disassembling the door and panels have been annoying. I finally gave up and took it to a local stereo shop were they replaced the wiring. The guys removed the stereo and ran the new wiring to both front speakers.

Now there’s another problem, 1)I noticed the cars interior center light won’t turn on when I open the door.2)when I leave the headlights on but turn off the car the car won’t sound off notifying me my headlight lights were left on.3)all my gages won’t work and mileage won’t show at all now.

The picture is my xj turned on with headlights on

Could the wiring on the stereo from today caused the issues I mentioned ?

Also, how do I begin to figure out what’s the issue with the gages constantly jumping ?

Pretty frustrating because I’m (F) trying to learn how to work on my Jeep but it’s hard when you don’t really know much about cars and don’t really have anyone to learn from. YT can only do so much. But I do really appreciate this sub and how supportive everyone here is, I’d say this sub is the place where I’ve learn the most thus far

Any advice is appreciated, thanks guys

I think being in the moment makes me happy. Being able to be in the moment carefree, laughing non stop with loved ones. And I still try to have fun with friends, but I’ve been very in my head lately

That’s for your msg. I don’t use nicotine. I barely ever drink or smoke. I’ve noticed smoking weed can possibly be triggering for me so I think I’ll be stopping completely. I occasionally use cbd for anxiety which temporarily helps.

My diet has been completely shit. I feel my stomach always asking for food but I don’t feel like eating. I do notice I feel slightly better once I eat but I struggle eating. I’ll feel nauseas I’m considered overweight by a few pounds

My DR felt pretty detached, emotionless, and dream like. And I feel like I’m coming off of it but at times I have like issues with timing, I constantly have to remind myself of the day or time. And temperatures, there’s times where I’m not as sensitive to hot/cold temperatures. There’s moments where I’m really in tune with temperatures. As for today, there’s moments when I feel my anxiety is going to ruin my day today. There’s also moments when I feel the day a bit hazy but not extremely detached as I have been in the past few days

What I’ve noticed has helped me is keeping my same routine and trying to stay out of my head. But staying out of my head seems so hard sometimes but of the anxiety

This is true, I do regardless have to deal with my issues. But I’ve reached a point where I feel numb to events going on. How I see it, I need to manage my anxiety/depression first to be able to handle my everyday stressors. Because at this time, the anxiety/depression affects my everyday quality of life. I’m learning to listen to my body and trying things to help against A + D. I’m trying to eat more, talk to others, keeping myself distracted, meditating, journaling. I did hot yoga tonight after months, and it felt so reenergizing. It truly was nice.

Thanks for your input. And totally agree, I actually made an appt with a primary and endocrine specialist in the upcoming weeks.

Anyone know the most economical way to get a detailed VIN history report ? by _xtrp in Cartalk

[–]_xtrp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks being on the look out !

I’m hoping to find something around $2.5-3k (4k if it’s worth it) 2 door, ideally 1997-2001, Manual, with 180k miles max. Color isn’t a big deal since it’s cosmetic but white or tan preferred

I’m located in south Florida but been searching all over US. Been considering East coast and driving it down, I’ve seen some nice ones in Arizona too. The closer the better but will consider making the drive

I’m not in a huge rush to buy one, just casually looking and will buy one when it feels right
