    Advice on 4.0 SOHC used engine

    Not to dis hearten you but this SOHC motor is unlike any motor you have probably encountered. At the very least you will want to make sure Your getting a 2001 engine for the swap. Im not evn sure if it matters for 2001 but you will want to replace the entire timing system with an updated timing...

    Engine Cutting Out

    It could be a dirty MAF sensor. You could try and clean it. Autopart store has a special spray cleaner. O2 sensor could be bad or catalytic converter plugged bogging you down slowly more and more everyday. You can try and disconnect one O2 sensor and see if it stops. If it does its probably the...

    starter issue?

    Yes I did. I pulled the whole thing (Neg. Pos. cable is all taped together with the Fender solenoid connectors) in an harness. I pulled it all out to check for breaks in the wires and re tape it cause it was all dry rotted off there. I haven't re tested it yet because when I was hooking it back...

    starter issue?

    So to try and parrot what your saying. I should run the Neg. cable end to that back starter mounting nut completing the trifecta body/chassis/block. or do I still have to connect to Negative on the starter and then add that shorter cable extension? Sorry If I'm not picking up on this

    starter issue?

    I have cross jumped the starter in the past, but i dont like doing it. I have always refered to the fender mounted solinoid as the starter relay. Less confusing. Anyway im going to clean up all contact points on starter and cables and see if it helps. Then it seems you basically just agree with...

    starter issue?

    True or false: If the battery is fully charged, and when starting the relay clicks but does not crank.This means the solinoid or starter is shot, or lose connection? Are these only two possabilities?
