I believe it was brand new. I will see my son tomorrow, and ask him. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

When I first attempted the procedure, I removed the two-conductor plug from the original, still-installed coil. I found which one was the ground, and which one has 12V. I was told to supply an extra ground, so we stripped a tiny bit of insulation from the ground wire, and using an alligator clip...

The problem arose because he tried to start the engine with a coil that was not grounded to the engine by itd mounting bracket, but merely hanging on the wires. I had out the wires back on the original, installed coil, but, apparently, ehr damage was done. Yes, I got mu timing light to confirm...

Is anyone here familiar with Ground Reference? My son was teasing a coil on my old '92, as a possible reason why his '93 wouldn't start. He left the coil on the '92, and merely unplugged the two feed wires, and the high tension lead, and plugged them into the other coil. He proceeded to crank...

I haven't been on this site for a while, and no longer have my '96 (still have my original, a '92, though), but I went through many of the ailments this thread is full of. The stalling, unintended acceleration, transmission shifting funky, torque converter randomly locking and unlocking. All due...

Sounds like a classic case of Throttle Position Sensor, or TPS. Been there, done that on my '96. Be warned, however, the ones that I bought at the auto parts store were, in my experience, crap. I cross referenced the part, '91 to early '96, XJ and ZJ were compatible, so I went to a local...

...when you think you're in need of a wheel balance, and find out the front pads have dug divots in the mounting surfaces on the knuckles. Then you fix them, and viola, no need for a wheel balance. But your pads are shot and the rotor is blue, because the brake pads have been dragging...

I noticed a similar thing on my '96. The motor mount ear on the right side of the block has some real goobers of weld around it where it meets the block. And the radiator had an impression in it as though the engine had fallen down and forward, and the fan was pushed into it. And the shroud was...

I just bit the bullet and went to the local NAPA store. I was asked about the length of the wires, which I didn't know, so I asked for the longer one. I had the same problem with the front, and ended up with a coil of extra, 'cause I needed the short. I paid double buying it locally, figuring I...

Johnnie, I had Rock open on one screen, Summit on the other. Each had a variety of choices. I'm figuring that the rear one is rather generic, but the text describing them is confusing. I guess it's tough to write a sexy description for an O2 sensor, but I wouldn't mind some facts. Now I gotta go...

I'm replacing the cat and the rest of the exhaust system in my '96. It's been rattling for a while, but now it's broken and leaking, and throwing a code. I've got a new Walker cat, but before I tear the exhuast system apart, I need to order a new O2 sensor to install into it. Looking at a few...

Oddly enough, I've fixed a few, and I use ours weekly...Very weakly! I was going to say Caddy skirts, as more Caddys came with them than any other car, all the way up to the end of the '76 model year. '59 Caddy has to be the pinnacle of '50s excess. Please, pictures soon!...Ray

Uh, fender skirts! What do I win?

You're correct. And they like to weep...

Gates or Goodyear Gatorback belts. The way it was explained to me is that many discount auto store brand belts have the wrong shape little 'v's', and the belts ride high on the grooved pulleys, never quite meshing. Makes sense, so after my XJs chirping at various times through their careers, we...
