      Pull sparkplug wires or coilpacks to see if it's missing spark on the cylinder that's dead. Pull injector connector to see if it gets fuel. If it has both check compression. Easy peasy

      Got ya beat on that FUBAR Rudy Spent 3 days working on an 81 Camaro trying to find a dead short that would drain a good battery overnight. 4 hours into the 3rd day I got fed up, disconnected the battery, started walking away, then had a flash of inspiration. Grabbed the wiring diagrams and tore into it again. Eight hours later I had it figured out but couldn't get any readings on my multimeter That's when I remembered that I had disconnected the battery. That was 18 years ago and my brother is still laughing about it. Disconnected the electric choke, put a manual cable in, no more dead batteries.

      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

    Rudy's fabrication skills at his age are impressive. I do have to say, since watching Matt and Paul's channels, all the guys (& Gal's) seem like the coolest people in the WORLD to hang out with. I built my first vehicle. 1991 s-blazer. Lifted it 6" and put a V8 in it, keeping the fuel injection. There was a lot of custom work I did to it. My dad passed away a few years before I got it but I always wanted nothing more than to work on it with him so seeing Rudy in the shop with Matt makes me smile. They all seem like such good, genuine people. Thank you guys for your content! Hope you all have a safe journey on the "secrete mission"!

  • @gungadinn
    @gungadinn 3 роки тому +50

    Trevor, is the OBD II harness still attached or did it fall victim to weight reduction?
    A dead cylinder is easy enough to find with a laser thermometer shot at the spark plug. Now what's causing the dead cylinder is another story. Once you find the dead cylinder, swap a injector and see if the dead cylinder follows the injector relocation. Also a quick ohm test on the plug wires is in order.
    Also, unplug the MAF sensor and run the Jeep. A bad MAF will cause a dead cylinder. Plug the valve cover line as it can cause a lean condition.

      I was an electrician for almost 40 years, and wiring big commercial buildings are easier than vehicle wiring.
      I chased a short somewhere under the hood of my 1991 250 for months, the battery would drain in about three or four days if I didn't run it.
      I had the whole harness cut open and carefully looked at every single wire from point A to point B.
      I spent months looking for it, then it just went away. I must have moved something that fixed it.
      After it stopped draining I put a new battery in it, and sold it before it came back.

    The 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder that came standard on the Cherokees was a bulletproof engine offering a good amount of torque, especially given the vehicles size and weight. I loved my old Cherokee great vehicle that, despite having issues, was dependable. The two doors especially make great working vehicles, just take the backseat bottom out and fold the back seat back down; lots of space on a vehicle that will get you just about anywhere. With 4-6 tube sands bags strapped in the back they make about the perfect plow vehicles, especially with studded snow tires. While I managed to get the Ram 2500 stuck while plowing I never got the Jeep stuck. The Cherokee with a bigger engine and better transmission would be even better; I always thought it would be nice to go diesel.

    I would recommend a protective screen wire of 1/4” round stock to protect the radiator from winch cable / fiber line. Sometimes there may be back lash icthere is a mishap with the “line in” winch process.

    Sounds like those horses wants to be set free. Well done. I am sure its a sensor missing or not connected and that's why you are in limp mode. Connect the old OBD2 scanner and see what codes you get Trevor.

    Well that was fun.
    If the Jeep is acting like it has a rev limiter around 2500 to 3000 or so rpm, re-visit the camshaft sensor/synchronizer alignment. That can cause the rev limiting. Of course if there's also a single cylinder misfire, fix that, too. A scanner is your friend there.

    My guess for what the secret mission is: Matt dropped the word 'golden' when discussing it, so it must involve Ed. Matt has previously stated that only the Banana is small enough for the recovery. My guess is that Matt is going to recover Ed's old Jeep, broken down and stuck up there someplace.

    Great work y'all. I rewired my 77 El Camino and purposefully put one ground wire where I could find it after I installed the dash. I turned on the left turn signal and all the lights outside flashed. Turned on the right turn signal and all the interiors flashed. I walked off crying then remembered the dash ground wire was not connected.

    @NoknOnDors 3 роки тому +1

    "I mean the plugs can only go into other plugs that match it right so eventually we'll run out of plugs"
    Thats usually my theory. That always works until one day (in my case an 80s toyota) you find out they only used like 4 different plug styles in an entire harness with 30 plugs, and you gotta just keep switching plugs around trial and error until you find the right ones 😂
    I learned after that. And I bought a roll with 10 different tapes with numbers on them 0-9, and now every time I take a plug off I number it with the fancy tape and write down what it's for and a general location, so I can always find what they go to.

      A shame it seems (universally..) car manufactures have totally forgotten the KISS method. Designing vehicles with high quality parts with a minimum of 'over technology' would be a dream. Amazing those who can DIY it themselves marrying old (tried & true) technology and the new (aftermarket parts) do it better than 'stock' show what is possible. Matt's Morrvair a glowing/extreme example.
