Thanks pete, just printed it...i'll go through your checklist. -alex

Ok,. so i had a post sayin that the idle on my 87 comanche with a the 4.0 was crazy. Rpms up down up down up down. It backfires, and runs rich, very very very poor gas milage. Last night, it lost a lot of power during accel and then backfired. When it backfired, it sounded like a vacuum leak. I...

I noticed that my jeep is running really really rich and smoking some at idle and i'll smoke a little bit more when i open it up....This was not happening before the idle was super rou gh and low. -alex

10-4 bounty hunter...That seemed to be on my mind too. This fuel pump has 193,000 miles of pumping on it. I replaced its sock a couple thousand ago...damnit, i have to pull it again. If i do get between 30 and 40 on the pressure gauge...what should i do? look at the pump or a filter next? -alex

anyone ?

Ok, update on how its running. I did probably 15 on and off miles on the truck today...the result was this: It did not matter what gear it was in, park , neutral, 1st 2nd 3rd...It was still idling dangerously low and coming up maybe 100 rpms every so often. No AC running or anything. What...

Well i have a 1987 Comanche with a 4.0. The engine will start, run, drive, open up at full throttle, but has a terrible idle. It almost sounds like a poorly tuned carbed motor at start up. Best explanation for sounds be the engine firing then the rpms drop..... firing, rpms drop... It was at...

p1atinum, wheres the campout going to be? id like to make it there. Did you order the whole teraflex kit.?? im interested. Im debating between the tnt long arms or the steering first. what do you think? Dracula...i got some great deals goin on down here if your interested. 6 cyl manche, 300...

Stupid fast, we have to continue this conversation...but i am planning on driving up north in 4 or 5 months. If you want to pay for travel of a vehicle...let me know. i believe this comanche is not running...but i think it just may need change of fluids and a battery. My track bar is a...

yea believe me, i have bumpsteer...but i didnt have it before on the 30s that were on there...i highly doubt the tires are worn uneven....considering they were fine before on my other jeep....What could be the reason? I was looking at the teraflex knuckles with the 1 ton tie rod, drag link, and...

Yea, i had to deal with those mounts when i lifted it again...i hacked em...How can i make the hi steer. flip the tie rod to the other side of the knuckle and flop the drag link into the opposite side? im not familiar with high steer...

yea i just hate dickin around with shackle lifts. ive twisted em before and i dont think they can withstand much. that applies much more to front shackles though. The YJ has yet to be dropped in a 4.6 stoker from titan engines up in ocala florida, 14 bolt rear, and i have to decide on a 10 bolt...

hAHA YEAuppers, thanks I got an extra AX15 bolted to a tcase. Yea, i know...its not a big deal right now...but im waiting to find a decent long arm...looking at rockrawler. Im too busy with my YJ....this mj can wait. Thanks for the comment. What long arms should i go with... PS, someone...

Well my little side project AND daily driver while my YJ is being built back up has gotten her rear end swapped, brake lines made, and suspension finished. The 87 comanche is now currently sitting 8 inches up with 6 inch coils, 2 in spacers, spring over in the rear and 2 inch blocks. This is a...

ok, perfect...how insulated should my pliers be to be touching the wires while its running? by the way, its so weird how its so random and tempermental...last night it didnt have a problem but it was idling higher than normal.
