Knew a gal once that had a W tattooed on each cheek of her butt. No big deal at first, but when she bent over, WOW!

I have used other injectors, and then used 746s. They work great. Come out of 5 cylinder Volvos..... Are you on cherokee forum at all?

Maybe. But remember the dizzy is driven off the oil pump gear, not the other way around. So, is the rotor loose on the shaft, or is the shaft loose in the oil pump? Remove the rotor and see which it is. While you're going to all this trouble, why not check the indexing?

What's "a little"? Just a bit of looseness? Kinda like rattling back and forth?

No. Rotor stays still as it's engaged into the oil pump gear via the shaft. The housing and cap rotate together as a unit to get the proper spec on rotor to cap terminal placement.

Good. Much more accurate. Keep us posted please.

Actually, it should be .020" PAST the dizzy cap terminal. That's why you need to use an old cap that's been cut up. Way more accurate. Oldseddie's was not far off and he had issues with it....Just sayin...

It does.

What's idling "fast for a while"? You MAY be able to use a meter and get an RPM reading from 2 pins in the diagnostic connector....

Eddie, thanks for the encouraging words. I automatically do the indexing on any Renix Jeep I work on. Definitely worthwhile.

Yup.

And the dog has been euthanized and is buried under home plate!!!!

And hopefully the cat got the key to the city!!

Good to know. I'll sleep better tonight as a result. LOL.

A concern: See post 6 in my Tips. The joining of those 2 ground clusters is included in my post 27, C101 elimination. How did you address those notoriously poor splices?

Process of elimination. Things wear. Yes, tabs must be removed. What about this? What if somebody already performed the indexing as it was a factory fix, and it has somehow moved?

Check your distributor indexing. Post 13.

If you're gonna replace the CPS, get a quality one and modify it per post 7 in my Tips. Of my Tips, which have you performed? I would recommend #1,3, and 4 right out of the chute.

Renault was better? :-) The MJ/XJ is a child of the Renault era. Renix = Renault-Bendix. The Daimler era was arguably a little better but still.... In the last 35 years Jeep has been owned by one European company or another for much of it. Compared to Renault even Fiat doesn't look too bad IMHO. Agreed.

Correct.

Who? 85% of JK / JKU sales are to buyers who could care less about performance, i.e. off-road, because it doesn't happen with them. It's an image thing they buy. And the more creature comforts available, the more they will sell. This equals more overall corporate profit. With profit, maybe then all the mouth-watering Jeep concepts we see and want every year might become a reality because they can risk that gamble economically and take a chance and actually produce it. But performance Jeep buyers are the minority, and always will be. Well stated and very true.

What Fiat?

I think so.

The Goodyear ones at Costco for $18.

It's fine from the JY..
