    Kinda hard to verify a ground by "looking" at it. You must either test it and/or refresh it. Glad you got it.
  2. cruiser54
    Yes it has. Use the gasket for the intake manifold you are using, not the head. Happy motoring.

    I'll try a version of a factory bulletin to see what it does. I have the tester and the IAC exerciser.

    Yes. If you have the DRBII or an MT2500, they have plugs for the connectors. But, technically you can use those connectors with your meter to some extent, providing Tips 1 through 5 have been completed so you get accurate readings. .

    Alot. Like a stroker or supercharging.
  6. cruiser54
    But did you do the sidewalk thing? LOL.

    Hard to say, but probably not.

    Quick question, if a Renix stays in "open" loop because of bad o2 sensor or other cause, would there be any outwardly identifiable symptoms, ie poor fuel mileage (of course, mine has), fouled/ carbon plugs, hunting or surging....? You can install an A/F gauge, either a wide or narrow band, and watch the open-to-closed loop transition occur when starting a cold engine. It takes about 30 seconds as Cruiser says, maybe a bit longer when the ambient temp is real cold. The gauge constantly monitors the air/ fuel ratio under all driving conditions and immediately lets you know when the system has gone back to steady open loop like at WOT or when a component fails. It's a real handy tool to monitor the engine overall health. Don, does your 92 go into closed loop real fast also?

    Quick question, if a Renix stays in "open" loop because of bad o2 sensor or other cause, would there be any outwardly identifiable symptoms, ie poor fuel mileage (of course, mine has), fouled/ carbon plugs, hunting or surging....? As to 02 sensor, not really. Unstable and low idle a bit with somewhat poor mileage. As to other sensors, they have a bigger effect. In order of highest effect to lowest effect they are MAP, CTS, IAT. These all share the same ground outlined in Tip 5 at www.cruiser54.com. The highest failure in Renix O2 sensors is the heater circuit which is energized with voltage. If the heater is bad, or not getting voltage or ground, it doesn't work. Try this: Unplug the sensor. Set your meter to ohms and check continuity between the red and the black wires of the sensor pigtail. Should be about 4.2 ohms.Image Not Found To check for power issues:

    Is the started coated in engine oil?

    I have hooked my dRB up to numerous Renix rigs that were dead cold, and started them while monitoring the "open loop/closed loop" readout. They go into closed loop within 30 seconds if the oxygen sensor is working. If it's not working, they never go into closed loop. The other conditions from the manual above will affect the switching from open to closed.

    I have the same thing on my 90. I haven't figured out what it is. Have you tried opening the air bleed on the throttle body a bit?

    Avoiding sidewalk cracks is reputed to bring good luck (or ward off bad luck), too ... Yes. and it's as effective as resetting a Renix eCU.
  14. cruiser54
    The procedure is wrong for Renix. Just get a set of Volvo 746 injectors and put them in. If you decide the procedure for resetting is for you, follow up by walking down the sidewalk and not stepping on any cracks.
  15. cruiser54
    No. You may have more than one issue. The ECM is also clueless as to whether you just filled the tank.
  16. cruiser54
    Probably caused from long term ethanol rot. I don't think so. The terminal at the fuel pump flange was burned looking and wasn't tight. Definitely a thermal issue. Ran great as long as fuel wasn't sloshing against the wire. All this said, no better time to perform the fuel pump ground wire upgrade in the link below: http://cruiser54.com/?p=249
  17. cruiser54
    I bet I know what the problem is. Happened on my wife's xJ. When the fuel level gets high, it sloshes against the ground wire from the fuel pump to the mounting plate of the fuel sender. The ground wire goes all intermittent and quits grounding the fuel pump. The photo shows the ground wire all melted on the XJ.

    That could be a faulty ignition switch.....
  19. cruiser54
    Jiggle the connections then. Did you solder them?
  20. cruiser54
    Let me put it this way. I have only found them faulty with a factory scanner, and only when searching for a driveability problem that turned out to be something else.

    What's the AMC project? Welcome
  22. cruiser54
    I recently made a tool for this purpose. Haven't used it in a real life situation yet, but mailed it to a buddy on another forum to try out. It's made of another old Jeep part. Guess the part.
  23. cruiser54
    Wiggle the C101 while cranking.
  24. cruiser54
    And you don't even need the sync generator. Unplug it and go for a ride......
  25. cruiser54
    I want a radio delete plate.
