I now own my first Jeep, an '89 XJ with approx 178,000 miles (XJ was towed behind a motor home, not sure of actual driven miles) and I am only the second owner. As I posted before, I corrected the high idle by tightening the manifold and adjusting the throttle plate (after spending over $150.00 in parts). So now I am on to fixing a minor (I hope) problem. The stock tachometer is erratic. When it does work, it is all over the map. I managed to clean most of the obvious grounds (another Renix issue I found), but no luck. As a side note, the cruise control is also non functional. The XJ is mechanically sound. I have some experience with older vehicles (my other ride is an '88 Mercury Grand Marquis) but this is my first Jeep (which I already LOVE). Could I be missing a ground or another connection not immediately obvious? She is a 4.0L auto with the Selec-trac X-fer case. Thanks.
