Jeep Wrangler: Cooling System Tips — Automatic Transmission / Do Not Operate The Engine With Failed Parts
All engine failures give some warning before the
parts fail. Be on the alert for changes in
performance, sounds, and visual evidence that
the engine requires service. Some important
clues are:
- Engine misfiring or vibrating severely
- Sudden loss of power
- Unusual engine noises
- Fuel, oil or coolant leaks
- Sudden change, outside the normal operating
range, in the engine operating temperature
- Excessive smoke
- Oil pressure drop
If the low oil pressure warning light turns on
while driving, stop the vehicle and shut down
the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when the light turns on...
The engine block heater warms the engine, and
permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect
the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC
electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord...
