  1. looking for the single latch (not the dual latch) for an 86 comanche.its the piece that goes on the radiator support,thanks
  2. knock on wood but i havent had any of the spectra brands leak prematurely in the last 20 plus years.they will all eventually go bad because quality is a thing of the past anymore.what might have been a great brand 10 years ago isnt good anymore.i can't tell you how crappy moog parts have got.
  3. i own a repair shop.ive found the spectra brand seems to fit the heater boxs better than most.you would be surprised how many heater cores simply won't fit in the hvac box.napa used to use spectra for there heater cores but they changed brands when covid hit a couple years ago and now whatever brand they use doesnt fit the same.
  4. i would be selling the LJ.
  5. the words quality and cheap usually don't go well together.but on the other hand expensive doesnt mean quality anymore.
  6. i seriously doubt the aftermarket will jump on the 2.8 y pipe bandwagon.i own a 2.8 and thankfully my y pipe is in great shape but for the few 86 mj s that are left it wouldnt be cost effective to produce and sell.i just bought the key parts floor brace kit that was released.look at all the owners that have asked for these pieces to be made but i doubt that most will actually buy them.
  7. good luck finding a 4 barrel intake for the 2.8.i got a weber kit and it works okay but i havent really had time to fine tune it.
  8. its the back hose off of the valve cover.follow it to the intake beside throttle body elbow and hook it to the elbow on the intake.the elow is where the vacuum is coming from,not the hose end.
  9. vacuum hose from valve cover to the elbow on the intake is clearly disconnected.
  10. Ive seen 4.0 engine and trans mounts so bad that the hanger for the exhaust is touching the crossmember.If theyre bad just use regular rubber mounts.If you don't want vibrations then above all else don't use the brown dog urethane mounts.I put a set on my old 88 mj and i couldnt stand it.Ive had solid mounts in race cars that didnt vibrate that bad.
  11. possible motor mounts or tranny mount can make it vibrate at idle .
  12. Thats one less thing that it can be then.Have you actually tried to drive it yet?
  13. If it runs better unhooked then thats your problem.If it runs the same then probably not.Unhooking an o2 sensor won't suddenly flood or lean out a vehicle.I worked on a toyota tacoma that idled like it had an oversize cam in it.Fuel trim was crazy numbers.I unhooked it and within 15 seconds it idled smoothly and i drove it around 10 miles.I replaced the o2 sensor and ran fine.I'm trying to give you as many suggestions as possible but not being there to see it all any of us are doing is giving you opinions and best guess's.
  14. The reason i want to take my weber off is I'm less than happy with it.In its defense i havent had the time to seriously adjust on it and it was definitly better than the gm pos that was on it.
  15. I worked for a jeep dealer from 96 thru 02 so i do have alittle experience working on 4.0 jeeps.If you unplug and it runs better then look at the o2 sensor,if it runs the same then its probably doing its job.I'm sure you don't have access to an obd 1 scanner to verify if its working right or not so this is the easiest way to do it.
  16. If you don't have a converter that rules that out.If you have an o2 sensor thats stuck either full rich or full lean it'll run like crap.When you unplug it when its cold it will go to neutral usually and tell you if its the problem.
  17. DId you try removing the o2 sensor out of the pipe and seeing if it runs better?You could have clogged the cat up when it was running so bad.If it revs up fine with the o2 removed then you know the cat is clogged up.Thats something easy to check and eliminate a possibility.
  18. good luck.my tab broke hooking up my weber carb.i couldnt find one anywhere.
  19. what intake are you using?ive been looking for a 4 barrel intake for my 2.8 to use my sniper kit on.
  20. Did you ever reinstall your original unmodified cps and just hard wire it?Once again if it ran fine before go back and look at your previous repairs.
  21. its not odd that it cuts off spraying cleaner down the tb at idle.its simply getting too much fuel and not enough air.
  22. If its running fine i would leave it alone.If its not broke then don't fix it.
