So like the title says I was forced to sell my xj 3 years ago after parking it due to unibody issues. I have always wanted a mj but just never got around to buying one. So about two weeks ago I found one for the right price. 88 swb 2.5tbi auto 4x4. Guy I bought it from said he was the original owner and that it had lostspar k. T hat threw an instant red flag. Keeping that in mind I talked him down some and we agreed on 450. I towed it home and had it running in about an hour. It still needs a lot of work. I have never owned a renix. Its far from running good. I can drive it around the yard only in 4lo tho. All of the vacuum lines are junk either missing or cracked. Is there some place online I can order a complete set. Also a schematic would help so I can get all of the lines routed correctly and hopefully simplify it some. I'm sure I will have more questions but would like to get the vacuum system worked out first. I have big dreams for this rig. Current plans include getting it running correctly and streetable. Future plans include a 98 up swap. 30 non disconnect 8.8 gears locked and loaded. Longarmed and armored to hell. Pics coming soon.

a 2.5 TBI isn't a Renix, its a TBI.

First thing you need to get is a shop manual--not a cr*p manual like Chilton or Haynes--http://www.autobooksbishko.com/ they sell LEGAL reprints and CD versions of Jeep manuals. On CD it will set you back about $37 plus s/h.

Actually, the 86 TBI is Renix.

There have been several posters that reported stalling when backing up, going forward was OK--turned out to be loose bellhousing bolts.
