Bought Sight Unseen: Building a Jeep 4.0L and Immediately Driving it Cross Country - Operation Taco
Intro Music: ua-cam.com/video/w4W_7wgKviM/v-deo.html
Operation Taco takes us from the marshes of east Georgia, deep into Florida and across the Southern United States in our quest to get Taco driving his own XJ. We figure out how to build an engine, and then immediately drive it across the states.
Taco took part in our last adventure: ua-cam.com/video/RRsq1e2tLZU/v-deo.html
Taco first appeared in Operation Ultimate: ua-cam.com/video/NwA0tjckRUY/v-deo.html

We never did find out why the engine was torn apart, only that it was done so against the will of the previous owner: She brought it to a shop for a diagnosis on some noise it was making (likely just lifter tick) and without her consent, they tore open the engine, found nothing wrong, and told her it'd cost $2,000+ to reassemble everything. She denied the service (having never asked for it in the first place) and had the Jeep towed back to her yard, where it sat since 2018.
The Cylinder Head is from Edlebrock, none of that 0331 nonsense for this one.

Переглядів 4,1 тис.4 місяці тому
On 50-State equipped 2000 and 2001 Jeep Cherokees, Heat Soak is a somewhat prevalent issue especially in warmer climates. If your engine runs rough on warm starts, you have a random cylinder 3 misfire code, or it fails to even stay running after recently being shut down, here are a handful of methods to fix the problem. This video was inspired by D&E in the garage: ua-cam.com/video/lUCr_QCuwE0/...

    Correct about the O2 sensor wire bracket not present on 87-90 Fed emissions. I'm lucky in that the 93 YJ drivetrain I scored has it, so I'm going to make use of it (HO engine with Renix sensors/ computer/ Renix to HO throttle body TPS adapter). Great vid, as always- revisiting this one for any reminders I'll need before knocking this out today.

      @andresalbertofloresordoric3023 You can make an AX-15 work with a 2.5L, but the direct bolt on option is the AX-5. You will need 2.5L specific other things like the driveshafts too, there's a bit more technicalities with the 2.5L manual swap

    • @WAEMIDIV
      @WAEMIDIV 5 днів тому

      @colebuchholz3083 Yes but you will definitely have negative side effects, you'll need a vent from the gas tank to the atmosphere to prevent the tank from over pressurizing, which also means gas will just evaporate right out of the tank at all times. You will need to cap off the vacuum lines and will always have an error code for the purge valve at the very least, no matter what you do with that, not to mention worse MPG

    Hey bud quick question I have an 87 wagoneer idle is a bit high when I hit the gas it tends to keep the throttle open I replaced throttle cable and cleaned throttle body. If you push from under hood opens and closes as it should. You kinda have to use you toe to lift to get it come down and if you put it in gear it likes to take off like your flooring it… I’m wondering if it’s kick down cable at this point maybe vacuum leak I’m not really sure any help would help
