90comancheman Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Guys, I'm new to the Comanche scene as I've been an AMC (AMX and Javelin) and Jeep J-10 owner in the past but this is my first MJ. I picked up an original owner 1990 Comanche Pioneer, 2.5 automatic with 123,000 miles the other day. The truck is rust free and the older original owner did a nice job of keeping the exterior clean but he definately wasn't a mechanic. The truck ran rough so I replaced the cap, rotor, wires, plugs, air filter and cleaned the throttle body (very dirty!). My question is when I looked into the throttle body (from the passenger side) there were two tubes or wires that had what looked to be black eletrical tape or some type of wrap on them. This black tape substance appeared to be loosing its adhesiveness and was pulling away from the tube/wires. My concern is #1, is this black tape factory original?, #2, Can I remove this tape stuff and if so do I need to replace it? and if I don't is it going to cause me further issues. Any info will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Sounds weird to have tape inside a throttle body. I have a new one I could go look at if you want me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 You need to post pics........or should we just guess? If you are referring to the wires that send the pulse to the injector...? yes there is a tube around the wires, like a heat shrink tube? is this what you are talking about?

Eagle Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's a 2.5L, so it's throttle body injection. Are those the wires for the injector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
