Why is your jeep floorboard hot?

Check to see if the catalytic converter heat shield is in place or the converter has been hit and sitting too close to the floor pan.

What causes the jeep engine to overheat?

Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport, and dissipate heat, such as a low coolant level, loss of coolant (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated mineral deposits in the water jackets or radiator, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller or even a defective radiator cap.

The cooling system is a group of related parts that depend on proper function from each of its component parts to keep the engine cool. Service the cooling system and replace any under-performing or suspected weak parts. Any component part of the cooling system that is not fully doing its job will stress the others and your cooling system will overheat. The most important maintenance item is to flush and refill the coolant periodically. Coolant should be replaced every 36,000 miles or every three years. Anti-freeze has a number of additives that are designed to prevent corrosion in the cooling system, but they have a limited life span. The corrosion causes scale that eventually builds up and begins to clog the thin flat tubes in the radiator and heater core, causing the engine to eventually overheat.

Average mpg on jeep cj7?

12 mpg with a 1981 CJ7, 258 engine. -------------------------- 1982 CJ7 Golden Eagle with a 3-Speed Ford 302-V8 engine and 33in Goodyear (Hummer Radials) in perfect mechanical condition - I get about 15 in the city, but I'm careful about how I drive. (hardly ever run the AC)

How do you adjust Jeep 6 cylinder serpentine belt?

For the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, you'll need a 1/2" socket wrench. The longer the wrench the better, i.e. a long breaker bar. The spring retention arm has a square hole for the 1/2" socket to be placed. Once placed, you can adjust tension for serpentine belt removal or application. Follow the belt route guide on the "little sticker" near the belt under the hood. If you don't have a 1/2" socket wrench, I'm pretty sure you can rent the necessary tool at Autozone for free (deposit returned when tool returned). This method works for many different vehicles, makes, and models.

How many quarts of oil go in a 94 jeep 4.0?

What the possible reasons for p0300 p0305 p0306 obd codes on a jeep?

P0300 Diagnostic Code - Random Misfire
P0306-0305 are for misfire in those numbered cylinders specifically.

Symptoms.
Engine may stumble or miss
Engine may be hard to start
you may notice no issues

Cause
Failing spark plugs or spark plug wires
Bad coil or coil pack
Failing oxygen sensor(s)
Bad fuel injector or more than one
Stuck exhaust valve
Bad catalytic converter
EGR valve or valve passage clogging
Bad camshaft position sensor
Bad PCM or ECM

The Fix
Best first action is a tune up, new plugs, wires, inspect all hoses and wire connections then reset the code. If it returns you will need to narrow it down to a system, coils and coil packs should be tested, catalytic converters for function ( do you smell rotten eggs?). A misfire that jumps cylinders could indicate a lean condition, do you have any other codes along with the 300? this will help clue you in to the source, check valve function to make sure they are opening and closing fully.
This is probably pone of the most difficult codes to troubleshoot, so start with the basics and work your way into the more expensive options, in many cases a good old tune up solves the problem, back it up with a fuel system cleaning and see where you stand.

Will a 1993 jeep 4.0 fit a 1997 jeep?

How much does a 86 jeep cj7 weigh?

My 76' weighs about 4200lbs with a full tank of gas, hard top, 3 people, a spare tire, a heavy winch, and a lot of camping equipment going over a trucker scale.

Lowest weight I've ever seen in mine was 3200lbs with no top, no persons in the vehicle, and pretty much empty tank.

Mind you, I have the Inline 6. If you have AMC/Chevy swapped V8, it's going to be nearly the same. The I-4 is probably about 100lbs lighter, but that's a guess. The hard top doesn't weigh much either, or at least mine doesn't. Maybe 100lbs max. If you have an automatic, add about 100 pounds.

If you own the CJ-7, best bet is to find a trucker scale that's closed and just do a quick weight measurment. A lot of factors change the weight, (Engine, transmission, transfercase, tire sizes, aftermarket addons, AC, etc.) and it's hard to guess
