Ya I gotta get at the bolt. I think there was at one point a leak of the master. I may try to build something to shield it from any future leaks. I've been pushing this job off, but with winter coming I wanna get it fixed asap. Hopefully I don't need to disassemble the full panel. I am...

Just getting to the back of it may be enough. I think a few of them just may need the female connectors flared out a bit so they don't recess in so far. Thanks for the video, I was missing the under the hood bolt. I think mine may be some what rusted from memory. Worse case I would disassemble...

My 1988 XJ could use a new fuse box (main one in drivers footwell). I've taken multiple attempts and each time I stop because I feel like I may break something. I've removed the long screws from the interior and under the hood I've releasing what look like large retaining clips. But when I...

Just wanted to conclude with my resolution in the event someone down the road has a similar issue. I ended up dropping in a new distributor and it 100% solved my issue. Runs just like it should and I waited a week or so to post to make sure. Thanks for all the assistance, it was driving me nuts!

I took it to my mechanic to see if he could find anything I was missing. He seemed to believe it is a power delivery issue. He unplugged the AC and things improved greatly but not completely. He said that the larger tires (31x10.5x15) could cause the hesitation because they are taking too...

I have a tach that is original to the the vehicle. It is completely steady when the issue happens. I have thought about the torque converter but I get a soft backfire during the hesitation, so that leads me to believe it is a spark or fuel issue. I have not done step 10. I'll get at that this...

I called my local dealership and they said MOPAR no longer carries an OEM part. Are there still ways of getting an original part or is it all after market?

I am probably going to order a new CPS from the Jeep dealership near where I work and continue to troubleshoot between now and then. In an earlier post I mentioned that when I pulled the vacuum tube during a fuel pressure test the gauge needle became very erratic. It went to 39 but moved up and...

The CPS is fairly new, within the past 6 months, and tests out fine.Ill certainly keep it in mind though as I know they can go bad quickly

So i figured out what the broken sensor was and replaced it with a new Knock sensor. No help there. I checked the fuel pressure again yesterday and I had 35-37 with the key turned on,31 at idle and then when I pull the vacuum hose its starts jumping around erratically around 39, but it is not...

I disconnected the O2 sensor and it seemed to just exacerbate the issue. Same type of feeling, but worse. It happens in the exact same range on the MAP sensor, right around 18.5 on the Renix Monitor. I didn't see any issues with the wires as I was tracing them back, but in that same loom there...

Ive got an 88 Renix XJ that I’ve done quit a bit to as far as maintenance over the past few months. All of the priority steps Cruiser recommends. New wires, cap, rotor, plugs, coil, ICU, NKT O2 sensor among other stuff. I also have Nicks Renix Engine monitor which is great. However I can’t seem...

Well thank god for good mechanics, that you can trust. He fixed it with a new ignition module. It's hard to beat experience. Thanks for all the help on this. As always I learn the most when I'm tracking down a problem. Feel much more knowledgable and confident looking under the hood now. Thanks,

Weird thing is the new coil only showed 7 ohms on the secondary test, but it was brand new from Napa.

No luck. Coil didn't help.
