I have been struggling with operating problems on my '97 D1. Rough idle. Over-fueling at idle. Intermittent cam position sensor problems. O2 sensors dropping in and out. Intermittent speedo. All kinds of crazy stuff. I have split open harnesses, replaced sensors, etc, etc ad nauseam. Two...

OK, a typo. That was supposed to be "...slow/no...". Sorry. Recently the transmission on my '97 D1 began exhibiting a downshift problem. When slowing to a stop it only shifts to 3rd. It will shift to 2nd or 1st if the selector is moved. I am not an automatic expert but am wondering where I...

Since O2 sensor info is scattered all over the place maybe it would be good to get most of the info in one place. I'll kick it off. 1) The 25044 NTK sensor listed in most parts sources has the wrong plug for my '97 D1. Question: I made a monitor panel for my O2 sensors in Torque. They are...

I have '97 D1. I like it. Had a '96 before and liked it. Recently had a need to take a family trip. The D1 was a bit cramped for a family of four. I have been contemplating selling the D1 and getting a RRC LWB. The family is used to the legroom in the 740iL I drive so I am wondering how the...

What MAF readings do you folks get from your truck while it is running? I am seeing curiously low readings from my truck (OBDII - ELM327 adapter / Torque Pro) of around 5-20 (upper mid RPM range WOT). I am still determining if the ECU in my truck has gone stupid or is the MAF yet another failure.

Last night I was driving home on the highway. I noticed the odometer in my '97 D1 was moving at good clip. Checked the speedo via GPS and it was within 2 mph. Timed the odo 1/10ths at 4 seconds each. We were driving at 65mph so it is turning very fast.:eek: So this is a '97 D1 USA/NA model. I...

I know the cam position sensor is a proximity sensor. It is not an unpowered passive sensor like the crank sensor. Is it a latched sensor? Powered passive? I don't have a spare to put on a scope to review the signal. Has someone looked at the output of this sensor? I am going to start...

My truck did a cool trick. The window (driver front) will go down but not up. Pulled the panel to find the rubber cushion in the window lift motor shredded. The rest of the entire assembly is fine. Just drive cushion is shot. Is there anyplace that sells these internal bits? Or is this going...

I wanted to start a new topic. It is titled, "Don't Believe It...". The purpose is to document misinformation about parts interchange. I will get the ball rolling.

Looking to buy a suitable short block. Prefer one for class B pistons. I am located in SE Arizona near Tucson. -Mike O

When I bought the '97 I have now it had ostensibly "overheated". After removing the heads to repair the blown head gasket I found that one head had three bolts loose. While the heads were off all the liners were inspected for visible cracks, movement, or change in position. Everything looked...

So the engine in my D1 (1997) has been overheated once before. It survived and has run for some time. Recently it has started leaking combustion gas into the coolant jacket (no leak into the oil/crankcase). So I am looking for a good 4.0 block or engine bored for B pistons. I am located in...

So the fan on my D1 failed. Close examination shows material fatigue around an air bubble inside the plastic. So I went looking for a temporary fan to run until either replacing the broken one or adding electric fans. Since I live in the boonies (SE AZ about 5 miles from Mexico) the closest...

Have other D1 owners noticed how little belt wrap the alternator has on the A/C equipped vehicles? 100A on that little contact patch? It seems the alternator is the first thing to slip if anything gets on the belt. At 100A I am surprised it turns in any condition other than a clean, dry belt...

I am about to rebuild a '96 4.0. So let me state that I am a cheapskate. Well, not really. I just don't like getting soaked for parts because they have a certain name on them. So I am researching alternative part sources. Bearings are plentiful and cheap so no worries there. Here are...
