Good news, the headlights, tail lights and signals are all now working! I rewired from the front back to the switch, did the upgraded loom too, though I may have to rework it as the pass side bulb is pretty dim. I also got rid of the double "spider web" of ground wires under the D side dash...

You can get the check valve on ebay for $10 or so, just do a search for fuel line check valve. That's where I got mine. That said, this did not resolve my issue which was long cranking times, which as it turns out is normal for my Renix system...though my pressure still drops immediately! (No...

Sorry, it's a '90 Laredo no ABS. Got electrical issue at 90% repaired after 15 hours Monday and 19 Tuesday/Wednesday just in time for my kid to drive me to surgery. Will be starting on the brake issue come next week. Ordered new MC and booster, though think booster is ok as usually they get hard...

I will start with an apology for a long winded post regarding 1st an electrical nightmare and second a bizarre brake problem: Electrical: A couple months ago my left turn signal stopped flashing, had to manually move the lever, but still lit so I just dealt with it. Then at the beginning of...

The timing is spot on now, there was an initial issue with it, but I've centerlined the cam now, which is a foolproof way to set a cam when done correctly, that I should have done the first time instead of using the timing "dots" on the sprockets.... The distributor has been indexed and double...

Yes, spark is constant Yes, tested with noid lights New battery installed now Entire vacuum harness has been replaced, including the MAP line. Tomorrow (Wednesday), I will be retesting all the above after I install the new sensors I ordered (O2, CTS, IAT) weather permitting. Going to the...

I snatched a truckload of Mil-Spec 2-8 ga copper cabling from an older M728 CEV and used a bunch of it to replace my ground connections on all my vehicles, it was free lol So on passenger side of the block, at dipstick bracket: I acid cleaned the block; installed a new 2ga ground cable from the...

That was some time ago, but yeah I put one in when my pump wasn't holding any pressure. it was determined it was bleeding back into the tank & that the integral check on the pump was faulty. The check was a cheap alternative to a new pump is all, nothing more. IIRC, I installed it in the line...

I was being too general, sorry. I indexed the distributor a few times now it seems, turn oil pump to 11 o'clock, point rotor at 4, drop dizzy in rotor scoots to 5o'clock tighten down so the rotor electrode has just passed #1 and centerline pointing at approximately 5 o'clock position. fired it...

I have a set of Champion, NGK, the old ones and the E3. I have swapped plugs in & out during this endeavor due to fuel on plugs. I take a set out, put them in my plug cleaner and another set in. That said, the E3 set has been in there over a year and when they replaced the original Champion set...

yes, actually I went out just a couple hours ago, it fired right up and idled for about 10 minutes then stumbled, petered out & died but there is definitely fuel getting to the injectors. I tried to restart it but no dice. The battery is now too weak to turn it over, need to pick up a charger...

Well it's been almost 3 weeks now and it finally started yesterday. Here's what has happened ( sorry for the drawn out post): I was driving it on first cold morning of the season and all was good, noticed a "ticking" but figured it was just lifter tick due to cold and no warm up, something...

Thanks Joe! I'll need it I think! I pulled the cover today, after setting to TDC and my cam sprocket was off maybe 20º! WTF? so my cohort and I futzed with that thing for 7 hours and still it runs like crap! I have no idea what the issue is but when I set for TDC on the compression & install the...

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the help and I've found that sadly it is my timing chain...ugh

Okay at a loss. Started fine this morning but had a slight miss which was new but nothing terrible. Took kid to school, went for coffee started again got home killed it checked plug wires and restarted...all good. Went in & futzed around for the day, 6 hours later wont start! WTF? Has spark...

Thanks for all the ideas fellas. I will post as I get to this and see what we have. Its been a hellish week!

Let me begin with an apology for a long post and a small bit ofn history...Ok this is my first XJ and 4.0, It was my old mans since new, and having been a lifelong YJ, all 2.5 swapped for small blocks, owner (I just gave my owned since new '92 to my 18 year old & '93 to my 16 yr old, I'll have...
