Good call. If you don't use headliner adhesive, you WILL be doing the job over again.

don't chase your tail. There is no such relay on an 87.

I also vote for the ignition switch, especially because you said you jumpered the ballast.

I recently plugged mine (pulled the vac line off the plastic transducer and plugged it) now my idle is kinda choppy/low. I'm going to plug it back in, and see if that helps the situation.

91+ only.

Nice. My buddy had a 92 RS that I almost bought from him... Just a FYI, all 92's are badged "25th Anniversary Edition" Have fun with it. 3rd gen is my favorite body style.

6 qts even. Thanks tho.

Ill grab new cables once it warms up (yes...I live in Michigan) :fs1: and Ill update if the situation improves or not. Thanks everyone.

Do I have to make my cables? Or can I grab them from the parts house already fitted with the correct connectors? What would be the benefit of bigger diameter cables? Like 2ga? Would that help or no? I swapped my braided cable with a 2ga battery cable. Didnt make any difference.

It sometimes idles like crap in park off the brake too, but always when in gear. My negative cable from the battery to the block is hard and cracked insulation. I am planning on changing this in the spring anyway, just didnt think it would cause idle problems. The connections at the block and battery post are clean though. So could a hard negative cable cause idle problems even though the connections are good?

Its got 192k. I don't know if it has anything to do with the AW4, but the rpms are lower when youre in gear on the brake anyways, the only difference is, is that my idle is choppy...

Just though of this...would the knock sensor cause my symptoms? I want to exhaust all possibilities before turning to the ECU.

I have changed the CCV system last year, actually. Also I changed my braided ground strap to a 2ga battery cable about a month ago. I also cleaned the grounds under the coolant bottle, and the 2 near the washer bottle and engine block. Coolant temp sensor is about 3 years old.

I believe all MJs and XJs back then had the option of skids, but it was never standard equipment on any trim level. But as stated, if it has all but the gas skid, it had it from the factory. Its either all skids or nothing.

I don't know what else there is to do. JF is useless for these kinds of threads, and Ive started many threads on NAXJA about this, and I'm at my wits end. My 88 4.0 Renix has a loping/choppy idle problem. Anytime I am in gear, on the brake, at a light, my idle is about 600, and is really choppy, like its struggling for air or something. Then, a few seconds go by, and it jumps to about 800rpm, and the idle is smooth, then a few seconds later, its back to 600 and choppy. Ive changed Fuel injectors Fuel Pump Fuel Filter Plugs Wires Cap Rotor CPS IAC Adjusted year old TPS Bench Cleaned Throttle Body Plugged EGR. I honestly don't know what else there is to check/replace. I'm usually the one helping with renix issues, and I'm kinda embarassed. Thanks for help.

Youre gonna use those seats? My buddy has them in his 96 XJ and they are so uncomfortable. :(

Make it look like this. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13830 PS I like the decals better.

Most likely a burned out bulb.

Thats how repair shops work. They will even put on stale parts just to have the customer come back for new parts. Even if the repair is free, its still a hassle to the owner.

There was an 87 Cherokee Chief 2 door in the Junkyard last year. Perfect black interior. If only I would have known...i would have grabbed it for ya man.

Nice pair of Jeeps.

I just bought a 120 gig Classic a few months back also. I love it.

Gots me a 2door XJ. ;) I just hang out here because of the predominant Renix era rigs, members attention to detail, and overall friendly atmosphere. Oh and my general lust for MJ's. Hope you guys don't mind. And thanks again hornbrod, you're a big help.

That looks soo nice. I will defiantely get the door skins too, just as long as I can find a 2 door. Thanks for all the info. :USAflag:

If I can find black buckets, Ill trade you the buckets for your MJ...because your MJ is gorgeous. :clapping: JeepcoMJ...the camo looks sweet. I say do it.
