90 Renix manual tranny...
It is a testimonial to the Renix XJ engine system that I have not had any issues with it for years. Recently I noticed that my 5 year old exhaust manifold was cracked so when the Jeep died on the freeway and restarted after a couple of minutes and then died on me a couple of other times I figured I would replace the CPS and the manifold. Just did that using a "MOPAR" CPS from Morris. Note to self
(before doing that project be prepared to replace the fuel line o-rings.) When it died on the freeway I was not equipped to really troubleshoot I did crawl under rig and tapped on the fuel pump as a hail mary... After that it did start. Anyway still seeing the issue on my after work test drive. It seems to lose spark. Am thinking that it is not fuel related in that it just cuts out.. no coughing, no spluttering, no backfires.
Next step is to equip myself with a timing light, long jumper to hot wire the fuel pump, multimeter and starting fluid on board and just start driving it until it dies . Has anyone else seen this issue or similar? Figure I will start this thread and report back on my findings.
PS if you are ever stuck needing to fix the fuel line disconnects and don't want to wait for shipping you can get the o-rings at O'Reilly's part number
Dorman 800-013 at the ridiculous cost of $10 You need to mine out the old 0-rings and for feed and return use 2 o-rings with a little plastic spacer between them. If like me you cannot find the spacers you can use part number Dorman 46001 (emission hose) to make some new ones. Just slice the hose with a box cutter into 1/8" spacers and you will have a lifetime supply. (cost $5)
