CheepComanche Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 The CTS sensor is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepComanche Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 I found if I let off the throttle so I’m engine braking then shift it doesn’t hang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepComanche Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I’ve tested TPS, MAT, CTS, and power steering switch. And replaced O2, ISA, and all the vacuum lines. I’ve removed my throttle cable and lubed it. While I was doing that I also sprayed intake cleaner around the throttle body to check for any manifold leaks. I can’t find anything wrong. Where do I go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Did you refresh the firewall ground? at the head also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepComanche Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I haven’t, but it was by the PO about two years ago. I really should do it myself so I know it’s good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Yes, you should. For some reason that particular ground is especially sensitive on the 4 bangers. I'd re-do that and all the connectors and other grounds just so you know it's done. I'd even ADD a ground there in conjunction with the crappy braided one. You've read my Tips 1 through 5 right?

CheepComanche Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Yes, I just reread tips 1 through 5. I just took a look at my truck and wow the nut for the dipstick ground is backed way off and the wires are loosely sitting on the stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hmmmmmmmmm from Tip 1: The Renix era XJs and MJs were built with an under-engineered grounding system for the engine/transmission electronics. One problem in particular involves the multiple ground connection at the engine dipstick tube stud. A poor ground here can cause a multitude of driveabililty issues, wasted time, failed emission tests, and wasted money replacing components unnecessarily. All the components listed below ground at the dipstick tube stud: Distributor Sync Sensor, TCU main ground, TCU “Shift Point Logic”, Ignition Control Module, Fuel Injectors, ECU main ground (which other engine sensors ground through, including the Oxygen sensor, Knock Sensor, Cruise Control and Transmission Sync signal. All extremely important stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You removed it from the firewall and scraped to bare paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepComanche Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 A wire brush was taken to it by the PO. It looks great and before reinstalling I cleaned all the contacts with electrical cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 OK. At the head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepComanche Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Same thing and I cleaned any grease away with electronic cleaner. While I was at it I cleaned the whole strap. Not that that would make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
