So Rambo came over this weekend to wrench and have a few brews, basically have fun! Well, I finally solved my overheating issue it seems. There was a short in the electric fan wiring, 1/8 inch up or down and no voltage. So we just bypassed it and (for now) the fan is on whenever the engine is....I'll probably toggle-switch it this week.
I asked Rambo to pop his hood and start his Jeep so I could check something out, and the second he turned the key fuel was shooting about 3 feet in the air from one of his injector lines! I told him I wouldn't let him drive it that way (there is a rumor going around that fuel in the engine compartment can cause minor issues) so we hit the local parts house. This is what we found, and let me tell you, it WORKS!

We wrapped it up with that tape, let it sit a bit and boom, no more leak! We were VERY impressed, and for 10.00, I would suggest every NAXJA member have some of this on hand!! Too many uses to even name, it's just pretty good stuff!
