2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ - Episode 1 - Cleaning and Tune Up

 


Up first is a basic cleaning and tune up. This Jeep is just gross and has not been cared for. We have no history on the vehicle, so we wanted to get a few of the basics out of the way.

Tasks
  1. Spark Plugs
  2. Ignition Coil
  3. Air Filter
  4. Oil Change
  5. Remove Dirt
Replacement Parts
  1. STP Air Filter SA8205
  2. Duralast Ignition Coil C1263
  3. NGK V Power Copper Spark Plug 3459
  4. K&N OIL FILTER HP-2004
  5. Mobil 1 10W-30

The air box was rattling around, barely held on by its bolts. We decided to we wanted remove the air box so cleaning would be easier and we could remount it securely, all 3 bolts snapped, wonderful first turn of a wrench. After removing the air box we gave as much as we could a good wipe down.

Onto the spark plugs. These are some of the worst plugs I have ever seen. All of them completely fouled and in long need of a replacement.


After the new plugs went in, we replaced the ignition coil, bolts for the air filter box, and a new air filter.



After all this we found the engine runs strong, but the vibration and steering issues are just as pronounced as they were prior to the tune up. Onwards and upwards...
