Jeep Question

[MadJack]

PaSprint wants to know if it is Mid-Size Cherokee or a Grand Cherokee? If it's the mid-size Cherokee it either has a 2.5L 4 cylinder or a 4.0L 6 cylinder. If it's the Grand Cherokee it either has a 4.0L or a 5.2 V8. That's his first question. If you just had brake work done it's probably just a hot brake smell because the tech may not have cleaned the cosmoline off the rotors very well and you may be smelling it burning off. Are you only smelling this after you drive it or can you start it and let it sit there and run and smell it?

He says an EGR Valve will not cause any smell what so ever. If the EGR Valve is sticking open it will create a huge vacuum leak and the engine will not idle correctly. If it's stuck closed it will set the check engine light on and the code P0401 will set and that is Insufficient EGR Flow Detected.

Replacing just brakes and rotors does not require bleeding the brake system what so ever. The only reason to bleed the brakes is if a hydraulic leak had been repaired or air is suspected in the system.

If the A/C Compressor Clutch is taking a shit that will give a burning smell but you would hear noise when the a/c compressor is not engaged. (your a/c system operates in defrost mode also). A/C Compressor Clutch failure is pretty common in these Jeeps.

This is like being at work- trying to fix them over the phone for my customers. :lol:

The EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation valve, takes inert exhaust gasses drawn from the exhaust system and reintroduces them into the combustion chamber through the intake manifold. This process lowers the peak combustion temperature and helps combat the formation of Nitrous Oxide (NOx) in the exhaust.

1. Separate the intake ducts from the air cleaner assembly by loosening the retaining clamps and pulling the ducts away from the housing.
2. Disconnect the vacuum line from the air cleaner assembly.
3. Remove the wing nut that secures the air cleaner housing lid to the base.
4. Remove both the air cleaner hosing lid and base.
5. Locate the EGR valve. Look at the front of intake manifold. The EGR valve will be bolted to the intake manifold just in front of the carburetor.

I hope help you with this. Good luck.

A 2001 Jeep Doesn't have a carburetor.....since maybe 1988 is the last any Jeep would have had a carb. If it's an 01 it's going to be port injected.

Its a Larado......Daughter said there was "smoke" coming out the grill under the hood

Yeah that's me- You wouldn't believe how many people call the garage and don't want to talk to "the girl". That was a damn good movie. :lol:

If there was "smoke" coming out then it could be a fluid leak (coolant, oil, etc). If it's the A/C Compressor - that could emit smoke and a burning smell but should make a fair amount of noise also. Try turning the a/c on and off and see if you have noise. Wait til the morning when you can see what you're doing.

I bleed mine every time I do the pads/rotors - but what the hell do I know, I am a chemist, not a mechanic:mj07:

Maybe I am doing something wrong:shrug:

You're not doing anything wrong you're just wasting your time. When you squeeze the pistons in on the calipers you are just pushing the fluid back up into the reservoir.

I always opened the bleeder valve and put a clear piece of plastic tubing on it to make sure there wasn't any air - bleed out some fluid to be sure - thanks for the info:toast:

Good Stuff:0074

Sounds like to me she is burning rubber everytime she pulls out of intersection:shrug:

Don't have to, just loosen the cap on the master cylinder prior to pushing the pistons back. Pop the pads in, tighten them and the cap and voila.

Can you trade it in and get a new one?

Uh I would take to a mechanic. Do you have one you can trust? So many different variables it could be. 2001? Time to look into a new used 2010 something for reliability.

Shes a really good car, no rust and low miles....Can't junk her just because she's had a couple issues....:SIB
