  1. Sometimes it can be the throttle plate coming loose or crud buildup in the bore of the throttle body.
  2. Use the HO throttlebody and mount the Renix TPS on it
  3. You can get an adapter to run the Chev belled trans on the Jeep for @$100 but you may need something special to hook up the 3500 to the Jeep flywheel (you can drill a CPS hole easy enough in the Chev bell)
  4. On the 87 to early '89s, there is a big electrical connector above the brake booster that gets corroded and messes up the signals to the computer (you can even get high revs on restart from it)

    your first car

    Then you would have loved my first car. I had a situation no 16 year-old should have: My neighbor worked at Sig Erson Cams and buily sprint car motors for fun. I'm lucky to have survived owning a 13 second, 4000 pound car with drum brakes. That's a '72 El Camino 12 bolt with 4.56's and a lincoln locker you're looking at. And I bet you would love to have it back ;) Sure wish I had the wisdom back when I was a young pup as I do now and would have kept that old mustang I had :D I'd like to go back and b*@$£ slap my ex for selling off all my old Mopars and Chevs (cheapest one would be worth @$6K now and the hemi convertible would be worth about $80K. She sold them for a case of beer apiece!)

    your first car

    Not mine, but very similar. Loved the '57 Chev styling.
  7. http://oljeep.com/gw/vac/eagle/EagVac.pdf For an AMC Eagle, but essentially the same as XJ, MJ and FSJ with the vacuum front axle.
  8. Late '86 is when the large journal 2.8L came out. It's also internally balanced, so looking at the harmonic balancer (it'll be smooth all around and not have a lump on one side) should tell you.
  9. Possible, but other things may be affecting it. Using a fuel pressure gauge will tell you if that's what's happening. Could be something stuck in the regulator or clogged filter or clogged screen in the tank. A can of BG's 44K will usually clear up most of those symptoms, at least temporarily.
  10. Find the build sheet (it's under the seat usually) Anyone interested in a T5? I have one from my '83 J10, but it's a parts trans (it was run too low on oil and the synchros welded themselves to the main shaft). All included except the trans crossbar for $100
  11. Mine is called Sarge because when I got it, the previous owner used a US flag for the ceiling and added a few military touches here and there (like the mil spec interior lights from an Abrams!)
  12. Just read in the news CHINESE LEAD RECALLED! Seems there were traces of toys in it!
  13. Where are you? You'll need the wiring harness
  14. Change the oil to Redline MTL

    your first car

    1961 Vauxhall Victor (almost as old as me!) and close to 4 digits since (they don't call me Junkyard Jim for nothing!)
  16. silglyde works for installing those injectors. Regular grease eats up the seals!
  17. maybe a bad electrical connector?
  18. 6 bolt was swapped in from something else
  19. I added spacers behind my lower control arms (where it meets the floor) to push the arms forward and straighten out my pinion angle. Vibes went away at the same time.
  20. try http://books4cars.com
  21. I want to do mine with LPG (turbo would be nice too as LPG is @110 octane and CNG is 130)
  22. I have the Renix manual and a FSM for Cherokee/MJs
  23. The AX-15 and BA 10/5 share clutches, but the pilot bearing is different. Slave should interchange (only thing I found different when I compared the 2 kits)
  24. I'm on some other boards up here (Snort4x4.com and nw-wheelers.com ) as well as the MJ list on yahoo and multiple FSJ and AMC lists.
  25. He would've got into a LOT more trouble if he had pissed on the Mexican flag. (not saying he should have, but throwing it on the ground isn't cool either) Someone should've told the shopowner in Spanish that it wasn't legal or proper to do that. (that way he'd have no excuse when he got a ticket for it)
