Morning

New furniture being delivered today. Old couches going to a family member, dressers will be deconstructed and reconstructed/repurposed into some form of a storage device in the garage.

More garage storage is a dangerous thing. I need a garage to repurpose storage into.

Been a wildlife kinda morning. Saw 5 bucks at the very end of twilight last night as I drove in. Big 8 point and a spike out front a half hour ago. 5 does in front of the porch right now. Hummers been going crazy all morning. Hitting the hosta blooms as well as the feeders. 'Nother doe just crossed the drive. I slept in a bit. Was gonna hunt but gotta take Barb to the opthamologist this AM so most of todays work plans are shot.

Was finishing up working on the Jeep lastnight. Fixed the passenger front window, put new console in, replaced radio, and fixed the drivers seat. Got ready to pull it out of the garage and the check engine light came on, oil pressure shot up to 80lbs, and it started smoking like a freight train...

Anyone have a idea why the oil would shoot up from 40lbs to 80lbs just idling?

Was going to take it in to dmv to get legal today, guess it's going to be a few more days..

I'd love another bay in the garage, but it's never gonna happen in this house.

Clearly an obstruction. Only fix is to find the nearest and steepest hill you can. Floor it and drive up the hill as fast as possible. If it is not fixed at the top; at least you had fun....

I'd check the oil filter first, then drop the pan and check the pick up. After that.....plugged oil journal(s).

and check the PCV valve or whatever crankcase ventilation system that has.

Going to change the filter today. If I need to drop the pan, it'll have to wait til this weekend. Thought it was a obstruction too. Hope it's not interernal, hate to have to disassemble the motor..

Thanks for the input.

You are not helping our TOYota v. Jeep argument...

Don't remind me..

Although it did sit 8yrs and started up without issue and ran great... until lastnight..

I will say I've never had a single issue with the Jeep 4.0 engine in the 5 I've had in the past. Guess I have to start somewhere..

Maybe it just pulled up a piece of dirt.

Put it on jack stands and run it in reverse for awhile. The motor running backwards might push the obstruction back out and catch in the filter.

Send video, please. Please…

Morning ... warming up today - Weekend in 90's

If the filter isn't the issue, might be looking at an oil pump issue. There's a pressure relief valve inside it.

That was my first thought, too.

Thanks for the heads up. Was just doing research on the oil pump and relief valve. Hoping it's just a filter though. Will definitely find out this afternoon.

That was my first thought, too.

Just found some info that says there's 2 4.0 engines used that year. 1 relieves back to the oil pan and the other relieves back to the filter. Not sure which one I have but will be finding out soon..

Welcome to the process of elimination. LOL
