Adams_Stuff:
Hi I am new to this so please bear with me if I ask some very silly questions.

I have 2 4x4's both need work doing

1st My Jeep Cherokee 93 (L) 2.5 Petrol Sport

I have been suffering with the following problem the enigne loses power and you have to stop.

 :cry: The breather pipe from the rocker cover is full of a yellowy gloopy substance ( i guess a mixture of oil and water ) this goes through the pipe and lands on top of the air filter ( its not pretty ) I have looked into the engine via the filler cap and its just a normal oil colour and the dipstick is reading just a bit below full and the oil on that also looks fine.

What should I try first?

EvilEd:
Best thing to do is pop over to Birty's and post it on there... Lots of techy knowlege about all things jeep there...

If not, hang about here, there are a fair few of us over here too :)

EE :twisted:

you could try just cleaning out all the oil breather pipes, if one has become overclogged it will block the air flow and condesation will mix with the oil and get deposited in the breathers where it condenses again.

tim_aka_tim:
Thats an easy one. Had the same on my 4.0. Assuming a 2.5 is similar, check that the smaller PCV breather isn't ether split or blocked. With no positive vacuum, pressure forces oil down the other breather into your air filter. In my case, the pipes were perished. A new set is about £30 from the stealership (for a 4.0)

mattyme:
hehe!!! does that make me partly right then tim aka tim!?  :lol:
