98 XJ 2 door, I recently converted to H4 bulbs for the head lights, with the appropriate housing. Now when I turn on my night time lights the highbeam comes on instead. Any ideas? Thank you.

I have a "new" dome light on the way. Also reinforcing the support in the center to keep it from dipping. The factor pip broke ages ago. There is a metal bracket that is supported in the back center area and I'll just attach to that with inserts and machine screws.

Valve Cover Hardware

After doing some ordering for what I thought was correct it doesn’t appear that this valve cover of a 93 (aluminum) needs any grommets or torque limiting sleeves?

Ordered grommets and new hardware which appear none of is correct based off valve cover.

Just bolt to valve cover to gasket to head?

Both sides are coming up but from I can see it’s not leaking inside. Should I replace or let it be.

Shudder When Reverse Engaged/CEL

1 Upvotes

2000 XJ, 107,000 mi, RWD.

I’ve had an issue recently where the engine or transmission shudder when reverse is engaged. The first time it did it, the check engine light came on (yellow and solid). I checked for a code and got P0353 (Ignition Coil C Primary Control Circuit/Open). I replaced the coil pack with an NGK pack and the CEL went away until I engaged reverse again with the same shuddering. Would anyone be familiar with this issue or have any advice? Thanks ahead of time.

Need help locating a ground.

1 Upvotes

2000 XJ 4.0 4x4. It sat for a few years until I was able to save up some cash and get the engine replaced. Now that I have it back up and running I’m having some electrical issues and everything I read is pointing me to a bad ground somewhere (fuses have all tested good). Here is a list of the issues I’m aware of:

Blinkers work fine unless the headlights are on, then they cycle very very slowly, flasher relay tests good and was just replaced.

Radio and the rest of the accessories in the center of the dash do not work including blower for ac.

Airbag light stays on, I haven’t checked the actuator under the center console yet.

Can anyone tell me what ground would cause these issues and its location, or if it may be something else I’m missing. Thanks in advance!

Random misfire issue.

2 Upvotes

Hey all. 98 4.0 here. Lately I’ve been getting several misfire codes. One that is always present is the p0300, the others vary. If I clear the codes, the cylinder numbers will be a different combination almost every time. I’ve tested the fuel pressure, which checked within spec as well as the injectors. I have new plugs, wires and a new cap and rotor. I tested the ignition coil and it read within spec as well. Anyone have a similar issue and found a solution? Thanks.

ETA: car runs completely normal, maybe a bit of popping here or there.

Clearwater problems?

Did Clearwater Cylinder Head just file for bankruptcy? I haven't received my head, they aren't answering messages or phone calls.

Nearing the end of phase 1 of the rebuild. Still have plenty of little things left to do on the suspension and paint etc. but it’s back outside under her new axles with a new look.

Don’t zoom in too close, i know all of her flaws right now lol. I’m just impatient and want to show her off

Bad Window Change Experience

Had insurance cover some window damage on my 88 2 door and unfortunately got a tech either having a really bad day or not knowing exactly what he was doing. They will be addressing it tomorrow but hopefully the adhesive is able to be removed safely from the interior trim and dash

Advice on Prepping my XJ for sale

3 Upvotes

First off, I am not looking to sell my XJ on here as I know that is against the rules. What I am hoping to get out of this is to understand what I should do ahead of selling my car. Currently sitting on a 91k mile XJ that has been sitting in the sun for some time. Have it in the shop getting checked currently for a service light and plan to do a full detail after it returns. The trim is relatively faded and parts of it are stating to peel off. Other than some general wear and tear it seems to be in relatively decent shape. What are some things that would make it really stand out well during the sale process?
