Maybe more than one...... -
Fuel only goes through injectors.

How long does the system hold the 40 PSI after shutoff? -

Something odd about my bored throttle body
cruiser54 replied to Knucklehead97's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
So, what's the problem at idle then? -

Have you exposed the Torx headed screw on the side? -

That's the way Jeff did them. I ended up pulling the plug from the top and using the screw on the side for idle air adjustment. There was something about the needle tip being too long and getting in the way of the butterfly. IIRC, I shortened it. -

Windshield washer problem
cruiser54 replied to watchamakalit's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
well then, we know that's not it. -
Overloaded brown wire circuit sends power to all these: "No horn, blinkers, radio, heater/ac or wipers." Wire gets hot, melts. switch fails.

Power doesn't matter if there's not a good ground on the truck. Check the resistance between the ground connection at the pump plug over to the negative battery post. Key OFF. -
I have spare covers but no clips.

CRUISER'S MOSTLY RENIX TIPS HO INTO RENIX SWAP OCTOBER 31, 2015 SALAD 56 COMMENTS This swap is easier than some will lead you to believe. And generally Pooh-poohed by those who have never done it. Those of us who have done it, like myself, will share with you the things that need to be done for a successful swap. Just think of it as swapping in a long block. XJ Cherokee and ZJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L engine blocks interchange. 2000+ TJ Wrangler and WJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L engine blocks interchange. YJ and 1997-1999 4.0L TJ blocks will interchange in XJ/ZJ XJ/ZJ blocks, and the 2000+ TJ/WJ blocks do not interchange without significant modifications. TJ/WJ 4.0L Engine blocks underwent clean sheet design changes effective in the 1999 WJ Grand and 2000 TJ Wrangler. These blocks are not interchangeable with XJ/ZJ engine blocks. The reason is motor mount bolt holes and belt driven accessory mounting bolt holes are in different locations, or not present at all, TJ/WJ vs. XJ/ZJ. Now that we know which engines we can use, let’s get down to business. The HO and Renix have some differences but none that can’t be overcome very easily. One running change was that the rear of the head was no longer drilled and tapped for the temperature gauge sender beginning in the 96 model year. The sender can be relocated to the threaded hole in the thermostat housing taken from an HO engine. You’ll have to extend the wire to that location. Some brave souls even drill and tap the HO head at the rear for the sender. You will be using the intake and exhaust manifolds from your Renix, along with all your sensors and wiring. Since the intake ports of the HO are slightly different, you use a new Renix gasket. Exhaust ports are identical. An alternative on exhaust manifolds: As far as exhaust, you can use the Renix exhaust manifold and be fine. If you want to use the HO exhaust manifold, you must go with an HO headpipe and screw your O2 sensor into that headpipe. Standard Renix harness is plenty long to do so. A bung can be welded into the HO manifold to accept the EGR tube. You will need to use your Renix distributor as it is different than the HO design. See Tips #12 – Setting Your 4.0 to #1 TDC and #13 – Distributor Indexing to be sure you get the distributor installed correctly. The flywheel or flexplate from the Renix must be used so your CPS gets the correct signals. The valve cover from the Renix allows you to keep your CCV system intact and requires no modifications. The HO block will have a plug in the coolant galley on the driver’s side of the block, closest to the front, which needs to be removed so your Coolant Temp Sensor can be installed in it’s place just as it is on the Renix. It requires a 5/16” square drive or a modified 3/8” drive that has been ground down to fit. Do this before installing the engine. As for the knock sensor, which is located just above the oil pan on the driver’s side of the engine about mid way, all the blocks I’ve seen are threaded for it. If not, I’ve heard they may be drilled but not tapped. Tap the hole if that’s the case. XJ: “Regular” (not Grand) Cherokees ’84-’01 ZJ: Grand Cherokee ’93-’98 (Gen1) WJ: Grand Cherokee ’99-’04 (Gen2) YJ: Wrangler ’87-’95 (Gen1) TJ: Wrangler ’97-’06 (Gen2)

182 horsepower in later Renix.

Rear Brake load proportioning valve
cruiser54 replied to NYJoe's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I probably have one or two valves with brackets. If it were me, I would eliminate the distribution block in front and put an adjustable prop valve in for the rear. -
What year ? It's always a good idea to do Tips 1 through 5 on any Renix Jeep.
-
It will handle it. There's plenty of headroom in the injectors. Get a 60mm bored throttle body.

MJ have a dana 35? If so, you've got rear discs for it now. If the air bag didn't deploy, save it for some afternoon fun.
