Yes it's airbrushed... first time actually. Did it in black&white then covered it all in house of kolor red kandy. Hopefully I can get registered before the week ends... waiting on some checks in the mail.

This one drove me crazy and cost me a lot of money throwing parts at it, so I thought I'd share my fix that may help some of you. '99 4.0 4x4 code: p1391 - symptoms: random misfire/stumble/stalling, usually over bumps or right turns and reverse. After replacing: TPS,CKP & CMP Ignition Coil...

...maybe an angel on the roof with an Naxja halo.!.!.!...

Got big plans for the rest of the body... mostly smoke coming off that fire with demons,ghosts,spirits and such... true journey from hell!#

Good point cotton... I would be honored to be a "real member" not just some Guy who thought it would be cool to have an XJ and ask all day long how to do this and that and the other... I have spent night after night reading threds after thread that even remotely related to the problems I have...

Thanks for the comments... but Thank You mostly for all your help on this xj from hell I Aquired year ago... Yes, this is my engine/steering skid plate... No, I don't care if it gets "damaged".../ did it because I can being an "artist & all" Haven't really been to the "mall" since...

So u won't see it unless i'm climbing ur hood... but I decided to paint my skid plate. http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee519/mediaslave/IMG_20120302_125449-1.jpg

Replaced cracked stock exhaust manifold with a new CROWN manifold and gasket. New Walker downpipe, New MagnaFlo highflo cat, New DynoMax superturbo cat back system. Cleaned out the intake manifold while it was off. Replaced blown out motor mount while the manifolds were off. Now she can...

The main cause had to be the wiring issues. This had a domino effect on the sensors. Apparently these three sensors work together to control air, fuel & timing. What was so frustrating was the "intermittent" failure. The harnesses would test ok in the garage, but once I was out driving they...

I can officially say this thread is done. Got her fixed. It turns out I had to replace all three sensors... TPS, CKP & CMP. Also replaced the wiring harness connectors to these sensors from a Junk yard. She is no longer misfiring and runs a 110% better. Thank you everyone for your help... I...

Well guys I think I finally figured her out. This weekend I tested the TPS and it is fine. Smooth transition from .28v-4.9v. Tested all my wires... Good. Went through the process of indexing the rotor/distributor... it's right on where it's supposed to be. Changed out the CPS camshaft...

Matthew, Thank you very much you have saved me a lot of wasted time. Your information has helped me start to really understand what i'm getting into. I do not have access to a FSM at this time only a Haynes. I'm trying to learn very quickly "good at that". I thank.all of you!!! I have no...

Wow, thanks! I cleaned-up and repaired the wiring harness connections exposed wires with liquid electrical tape. Got to the harness connected to the distributer and it.was real bad. All 3 wires exposed and twisted across each other. Had to be shorting out & i'm guessing that would pretty much...

So as I stare at the distributor and try to visualize the procedure I'm about to attempt. I'm still curious as to why the the wiring harness is so tight around it. So I pulled on the harness a bit to access the connector and find that it is wrapped around the backside. Followed the wire to the...

Found a great article if anyone is interested. http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/feb99/techtotech.htm gradon you are the man! I believe you told me this a day or so ago. Got to figure out how to index the distributor. Found this: http://www.angelfire.com/my/fan/dist_index.html & "gradon" this...
