Good point! You really should monitor the siganl to the TC lockup solenoid and take it for a ride. You will really be surprised at when the TC does actually lock. BTW the second brake light switch mentioned earlier is ONLY on the RENIX years and is used by both the Cruise Control and the TCU for...

With the engine off, can you hear a popping noise as you get in and out of the driver's door. The spot welds between the cross member under the radiator and the drivers side frame rail, directly above where your camera was when you shot the video of the pitman arm, have a tendancy to crack. Also...

Do you still have the 4) 2.75" rubicon express u bolts w/ nuts and washers for a dana 35 or Xj44 $15

PM sent.

If the cruise control was working when you installed the switch, why did you put the monitor light on the brake switch? Did you originally start with a Torque Converter lockup problem? Not being able to set the cruise speed is another symptom of the brake switch signal in the wrong state.

Why do you suspect the speed sensor? Do you have any data on which you base this suspicion? The usual failed part when the cruise control just stops holding the speed, is a broken (intermittant) wire to the cruise control switch on the turn signal post at the steering column. To test this, get...

I bet Cruiser nailed it. If you have the fan speed set to anything less than full fan speed, the fan speed switch will stack one or more of the resistor elements in series with the fan. These resistor elements get hot, and since they are on the inside of the blower housing, they are cooled by...

I don't think anyone suggested you replace the battery yet. The recommendation was that you take the battery to your favorite auto parts store and have it load tested. I think your problem is still with the 8V supply. Leave your alternator, coil and all the other stuff alone to concentrate on...

I have a 2000 XJ that I drove 2 years thinking I had sticky lifters. Most XJs have sticky lifters, right? Several professional mechanics heard the engine, and they all said, that I had sticky lifters, even though I had not asked any of them for their opinion. Finally I decided to buy an engine...

That looks like a new pipe, so hopefully it hasn't rusted itself tight to the muffler. If you loosen the clamps at both ends of the muffler, and rotate the muffler and pipes a little, you should be able to move the pipe to the side a little. While you are at it, cut about 2" off the end of the...

You are only guessing. It is time you get some data to make troubleshooting decisions. You need to really know what your fuel pressure is. Right now Harbour Freight has their Fuel Injector Pump Tester, item 92699, normally $29.99 on sale for $19.99, on line or in the store. The kit includes a...

I think the poster has confused his symbols. I think the "speaker looking function" is really a "headphone looking function", which is probably the omega symbol (last letter in the greek aplhabet). I think you are on the right mode selection. Is the meter auto-ranging, or do you have several...

1) Check for the 8V supply at the CPS plug. You do have a voltmeter, right? If it is missing, then proceed with the rest of this. If it is present, a shorted sensor is not your problem. The shorted sensor (and no gauges) is only one of the symptoms (at a very low rate) of a failed CPS. The most...

I did not say "It is still too deep". I tried to highlight "looks too deep" in my reply. Perhaps that was not clear enough. The indication of too deep of a pinion is when the pattern is closer to the toe of the pinion gear tooth. than it is to the heel of the pinion gear tooth. When the pattern...

The pinion still looks too deep. The pattern is also way too high on the face, indicating the backlash is too wide or the pinion is not deep enough. I would get the backlast tighter first, like down to about .007. I would also leave the pinion where it is and move the ring gear back .004 toward...
