rustybottoms88 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 yeehaw lol always fun. mine was doing tht a bit. turned out to be the idle air valve Glad to hear you got yours running. The IAC valve was one of the first things I replaced and as you have seen its been one think after another. I drive it a hundred miles or so and its something else. I hope my problem was just a loose connection but I am afraid it maybe a weak coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiscoXJ Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 maybe you need a driver mod? :yes: lol just kidding. id bite the bullet and just replace whats left. if that doesn't solve it could be a bad computer or harness. where do you work that your calibrating sprayers?

Thats what I am thinking, I priced a new coil on Orielly's if the wife and I use this think for some over night trips kinda like "overlanding" type trips I want it to be RELIABLE. I saw in the classifieds that a guy has a reworked harness. I think I am going to have to sell my project Powerstroke in order to do get this thing done before this coming winter. I work for the Cooperative Extension service as a Agriculture agent for my county. Its hard to explain so here is a video. lol https://youtu.be/94IA5mJCUOQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybottoms88 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I actually think we have a few agent job openings in Arkansas. Not the best paying job in the world but its fun. My tow/DD is a 2005 but the one I was calling my project Powerstroke is a 1996 F350 4x4 single cab Flatbed. I got it from the original owner. 307K miles on the clock. Drove the comanche yesterday and today so far so good.....I even ran the a/c some today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybottoms88 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Oh I am pretty darn happy! I drove it to Fayetteville and back Sunday with no problems. I have also been driving it all this week. It will run alittle rich every now and then but for the most part it will get me where I need to go. I am going to order a new coil from Rockauto. Should I replace the Coil connecter while I am at it? Is it common to replace them in pairs? See coil connector below: WiscoXJ you better get your A/C going soon its warming up!

I never gets hotter than 80-90 here but its humid as hell I should of been buying some of these parts from Rock Auto. I got the better Standard brand coil and the connector for $25 shipped. Orielllys wants $50 just for the coil. I had stopped buying from Rock Auto awhile back because the shipping from multiple locations for multiple parts was killing the deal but i guess they have improved on that.

WiscoXJ Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I always buy from them and I work at a dealership. my discounted prices here and at our stores we buy from are still more than RA prices with shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybottoms88 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I got the coil in yesterday and installed it. The coil connector must not be for my model jeep because I could not see where it would go?? Anyways its running good and the A/C is blowing cold. I am beginning to think about dragging the amc20 up to the house and begin working on it, I have had it stored in the barn. Hope I don't jenix myself with such thoughts.

rustybottoms88 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Ok When I bought that coil connector really what I wanted was this: The ignition control module. I think I will replace the the connector that go into it first. It died again this morning as I came down my dirt road, actually I was going across the cattle guard and thats where it would usually die before. I am guessing the extra shaking of goung across the cattle guard makes the ICM connector wiggle and lose connection for a moment. Once I got to work I popped the hood and touched the ICM connector and again as before it instantly stalled. Anyone know a part number for the Ignition Control Module connectors? Edit: I just reread Crusiers tip #4 and I should check to make sure the pin in the connecter is not retracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i bought the last CPS I went by my Mopar parts dept and they did not have it and was not sure if they could get it. They suggested ebay.......Standard products seems to make a good one. I have the ACDELCO CPS in my tool box as a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybottoms88 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I get standard auto parts all the time from rock auto and never have had an issue I believe 99.9% of the replacement components I have put on the MJ at this point are standard brand. I like em. Some I got from local parts store some from Rock Auto. Speaking of Standard Auto Parts: BAM! Double BAM! Got my ICM in and was glad to see made in the USA on the bottom. I got it in lastnight and so we will see if that takes care of the loose connection problem. I checked my mileage this morning and for the 2nd take in a row my mileage figures out to 18mpg! Actually this last tank was 18.5 mpg. Sounds good to me! Kinda hate to kill the milage with a 4x4 swap.......ahhh who cares, Thats what the VW is for!

rustybottoms88 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Loving all the resto type work man. My build is in a similar place, I should be doing more little things like this to stay motivated on the big picture. Thanks! The main thing is I want this thing to be as reliable as it possibly can be and basically all of the electronics had reached the end of its usable life. Sitting for 4-5 years did not help. haha Good luck with your build. nice! how many cars do you have!? TDI vw? I have more vehicles then I can pay to own. haha If I could receive government assistance for car ownership I would be at my limit. I have the 1989 MJ, the 2005 Powerstroke, the 1996 Powerstroke, 1973 CJ5 and a 2004 VW Passat. The Passat is not a TDI although I wish it was, but it has the 1.8T which I like performance wise but I hate working on. I also have a 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster Sports Coupe that is in need of a resto-mod and lets not forget the 1987 parts truck that hopefully will be going to a new home by next weekend. BTW do I need to keep the seat out of the 87? It has the indention in the middle of the bench to clear the auto shifter on the floor. The 89 has the shifter on the steering column but will I need the indention in the seat for to clear the tcase shifter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybottoms88 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I need a mini console. My OBS has 307K miles on it. It needs some work but it is good enough to check cows with for now. You all are gonna call me a liar but last fill up the MJ got 20 mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
