I still "officially" own a '99 XJ until tomorrow :-) I've been a member here since '05 ! You also lost some bronco earmuffs out of the car and the bathroom timer. It has been working wonders for us! I like the idea of Hell's Revenge on Fri. A.M. as has been suggested in this thread...perhaps...

My wife and kids will be there as well.

I didn't get the valves checked. They passed my visual inspection....i.e. not roasted and no holes in them. This a.m. we did a cap/plugs/rotor/wires. That smoothed up the idle some. We cleaned the idle control valve..... We replaced the upstream 02 sensor, because after a visual comparison...
