PCV bad. (or its hose pinched, clogged or even backward)

1. PCV is failing fix this first for $5 or remove it and see how bad blow by is. visually. (remove only valve covers side to test )
2. or cracked or collapsed piston.
3. or cracked head gasket, compression tests pass?

yes one of the best jeeps are YJ, not full 10 stinking married computers , wish every day I never sold my 2002,
2002 is the last good jeep IMO

blow by is most mostly past bad piston rings, even warped cylinder from past overheated engine,

The YJ used a 2.5 L AMC 150 I4 or optional 4.2 L AMC 258 I6 until 1990

which one, 4 or 6 cylinders.???

From wiring diagrams, schematic illustrations, spark plugs info, parts info, stepwise instructions, torque specs, error/fault codes, engine info, to every single minute parts, you get everythingg in there you can't imagine how detailed it is

ok, so you know where it is nor not?
its in the heater box.
and the box is in the dash
so, the box needs to be removed.
then box split (screws)
then replaced,

If you have a carb you do not have a map or IAC valve. They are on fuel injected throttle body setups. You really should go to an auto parts store and get a book if your really interested.

This could be a few different things;1.Sticking throttle linkage.2.The choke may be not adjusted properly or sticking.3.The idle adjustment may be wrong.4.Somtimes valve clearances may bring the idle up.Check the throttle sticking and the auto choke first.These are the most common.Hope this helps

I also have a 95 yj and mine did the same thing just replace both headlight and it will be fine.
if u look in light and u see a dark spot in the beam then its that light but replace them both anyways not expensive at all..

It would be great if you could find the Ignition Control Module!!! From my experience on my Jeep...90 YJ 4.2 liter carb. it does not have one...Computer controlled only...

The same thing happend to one of my wranglers, a 95 yj 4cyl 2.5 liter. The "Aisin AX-5" is the transmission that jeep used on the yj and tj 4cyl and 83 cherokee and up 4cyl, and the "Aisin AX-15"was used on some of the 6cyl models. Both are a "light duty" transmission according to the transmission manufacturer. As everyone knows, A jeep is no light duty vehicle, the shifting slider, a fork like item slides the gears back and forth over the drive and output gears to change the gears. and with heavy use or lack of maintanice they can break, they also can break cause of the cheap casting they used in the tranny. Other problems happen in those trannys too. The only thing is to tear the tranny apart and find out what failed and replace. I did this on the kitchen table ofer a day off. being the up own an early 90s yj, If you are one who doesn't work on their own car, I would find a good garage that is good with jeeps, they are not to expencive to fix, and when they are taken care of, will be a joy to own.
I hope this helps, Jeep ownership is a great thing.

i just bought a used 97 CHEROKEE but i had the same problem, when i got to looking at it i found out the front driveshaft was shot, look at that, if its not it i would say its probably the transfer case especially with an older vehicle like that which is a very expenxive repair
