Re: Guess what? I have a RENIX XJ with a rough idle and misfires!
OK. I got the new FPR on and it made a definite improvement. Still doesn't like to hold a steady idle... up and down about 500rpm, but it doesn't stall when coming to a stop or idling any more.
Pulled a plug and it looks OK, a bit of grey ash. They're crappy Autolites, so I think the next step is to throw some Champion coppers in and see if that helps. I also have this new O2 sensor I might as well throw on.
Either way, I'm happy enough with the engine (it's driveable) now, so I'm moving on to the bumper and hitch and then calling it quits for a while. Gotta let the wallet recover a bit.
Thanks for the help guys!

PS: bails85: the Rock Auto part numbers for my vacuum harnesses were DORMAN 46004 and 46003.
