Just got my shipping info within 15 minutes of purchase! That's what I call customer service.

Woohoo just placed my order! They're coming down to San ysidro.

We are walking on a thin line in SOC1 as well. Things aren't looking good long term until we get new contracts. Good luck!

And a public thanks to 5-90 and ecomike, I've read pretty much all of you're posts, you guys rock! Now about that zddp oil issue LOL!

I have a mazda protege that had a stumbling problem. Since I work nights, i popped the hood one night and the coil wad arcing with the valve cover. Replaced the coil and problem solved. I just happened to do the same with my XJ. The coil had small arcs all over, the cables were also lighting up...

Many sleepless nights and a lot of new parts later, it was the ignition coil arcing that gave a rich condition. I put a new one and passed smog as new. Thanks for the replies, at least now i know that everything else is working properly.

So after many tries at finding and still failing the running to rich for California smog, I noticed something new. I have a new magnaflow carb cat BTW. I've noticed that the exhaust note almost sounds like if it did not have a cat, plus it feels very sluggish. New O2, new tps at .83v etc. AX-15 4.0

Thanks EcoMike! I will check the 02 leads tonight. I was trying to duplicate the high speed fail from the test, that's why the high rpm in neutral.

It came out to 1.2 ohms

Dark grey/black color. For sure It's not water or oil

Fast forward and still the same! All sensors have been double checked by me and a diagnostic technician. At idle and below 1,500 rpms everything is good, no smoke, steady idle and no hesitation or bucking. Changed oil, new fuel filter, plugs, wires, rotor and cap in good condition. When I gas it...

I've performed all of the sensor tests per http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Engine/Basic_Sensors_Diagnostics.htm I took my XJ to a diagnostic center in Tijuana, they pretty much duplicated my findings. All sensors are in proper working condition. I went ahead and did an oil change with a...

Yes it was, it being plugged in is what made the engine bog on the rollers from 1st to 2nd gear. The diaphragm does move when the gas pedal is moved. Think this might have some fault?

Why would the engine stumble to the point of dying when the EGR is plugged in, and run like new when I disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid? I promise to keep this thread informed with my findings.
