Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup Post 141 above. Awesome video!:clap: Greg

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup I am out of Jeeps now. My 89 XJ served me, the family and two daughters through College well. We had it since new. But it was well worn and time to move on and cash for clunkers and the need for a light weight newer flat toweable high mpg vehicle for...

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup As stated in the write up post 90 xj (including your 97 I assume) already have the relays for lock and unlock in your passenger side kick panel. If you are having a problem with a no lock or unlock after first confirming your fuse is ok then check out...

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup Glad it worked for you. Thanks for posting your great pics. I am sure others with find them very helpful. Cheers. Greg

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup Happy it worked for your. :cheers: Greg

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup Only one of your circuits was very bad. Likely your other circuit will need help in the future. Glad all is well. :yelclap: Greg

The egr valve should be closed at idle otherwise poor idle etc. It is opened by engine vacuum from the solenoid. According to my FSM for an 89 4.0 vacuum only flows through the solenoid when energized (connected and voltage applied). Vacuum into the solenoid from engine should be about 15...

Re: LIKE NEW..CHEAP TOO! BIG RON, Glad to see you cut the "crap" and got to the point!:) Who needs those time savings things anyway. :banghead: :cheers: Greg

I have done it in 20 minutes in dark w. flash light. 3/8 rachet. 2 or 3, 8 to 10 inch extensions and the appropriate socket, 11 mill if I recall correctly. Go at it from below but from high in the tranny tunnel. Greg

The 87s and perhaps 88s have a very troublesome master connector on the bulkhead through which many sensors connect including the cps and perhaps tps. The anti corrosion gel inside goes bad and allows corrosion on the connectors inside. Clean and and relube w. dielectric grease every couple of...

Low idle is often rougher! Just my experience with the CPS after owning and working on my renix sys XJ since 1989! Also my experience with high idle has been vacuum leaks especially due to loose intake manifold bolts and loose or cracked vacum lines to the bottom of the throttle body. A...

Disco and reconnect the crank position sensor connector. This connector often losens up internally creating resistance and can cause no start or low idle. The pre 91 have a cps that self generates only up to 1 volt so any resistance in this connector can cause problems. I eventually replaced...

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup I have an after market remote car alarm w. remote lock and unlock and it does not affect mine so it probably will not affect yours. Good Luck Greg

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup GLAD THIS HAS COME UP AGAIN!!! So, I am going to do my 90 with electric door locks with keyless entry. Should I leave the relays that are already there for the keyless entry? Can I just tap into the red wire or do I need to run a new power source? Can I...
