maybe check and clean the IAC its next to the tps sensor. it might be stuck or not working. that's what actually adjusts the idle.

working on the 88 and I'm now having a what i think is a soft misfire. if i hold the throttle steady at 35mph you can feel it jerking and it also seems down on power. according to my REM all the sensors look to be reading ok. what i did to try and fix it. and or because it needed to be done...

its a very round about way. but the ecu will switch the O2 relay at WOT an send 12v down the OR/BLK to bypass the ballast resistor to the fuel pump giving it a full 12v. why they chose to go through the connector for the ambient temperature sender. no idea.

i just picked up a DRB II scanner just to have. but I'm getting a COP Failure and a garbled screen. does anyone have an idea what this error is referring to? i tried a different set of adaptor cables and a different cartridge and its looking like its a fault of the scanner itself.

I had a similar issue and it was a bad connection between the coil and the icm. I tapped it lightly with a jack handle and it came back. and worked fine for 5 more years until I disassembled the jeep.

I'm going to try to get those freed up. they are pretty well rusted.

I'm going to replace them all with stock Spicer ones and hopefully this will help. i have been driving it for a while 500 or so miles and its no better.

i ordered a used one for now, hopefully this one will work good for a bit.

who make a good power steering gear? i have put 5 in in the last 2 years and out of the box all have been bad. one lasted a month and it was bliss and then started popping and binding. the one that lasted a month had all new parts installed at the time to. not rebuild. pump lines and gear. are...

how did you check to see if your injectors are firing? can you see the rpm gauge move a little bit when cranking? im not 100% sure but you might be able to unplug the cam sensor and try starting it. the early models would run with out it but would "guess" what cylinder to fire during cranking.

does the rpm gauge jump up during cranking? it should go to about 300 rpms. if it doesn't move I would suspect Crank sensor or wiring.

ok i have replaced the drivers side lower balljoint. I greased it and tried moving it all about. and it seems crunchy from the box. it does feel better than the other one i removed. at least now it will sorta move on its own with the caliper and axle in it will slightly move itself back. in...

it has one of those low profile fittings. it said it was pre greased but we had an adaptor at work for it and i greased it up. so far no difference.

I just got new tires for my 88 and when they went to do the alignment they said I had "weak" ball joints. Ok they are probably the original except for one. Anyway I replaced the drives side upper and lower first. And it got really bad bump steer and will not return to center. I ended up doing...

id say maybe. the brake push rods are different. I don't think that will be an issue. the brake switches are different but the renix era had a dump valve for the cruise/ auto trans that the later brake switch should have no issue using its location for the brake switch. the clutch and clutch...
