    1990 xj fuel gauge works backwards

    Mine just moves around seemingly at random. It usually shows E, but it'll bounce around depending on the ambient temperature and who knows what.

    New LED headlights, one stays on dim w/ignition on

    I pulled out my stock fog light wiring and haven't had an issue with the TruckLites. Did you get those or Speaker?

    Renix Pinging, Cold start rumble, and over-all emissions maintenance

    I hate that sway bar clunk, mine was in the habit of loosening just enough after off-roading that it was a regular issue. I replaced the stock torx bolts with some brand new m10.9 hex from True Value, so now I can just use two 19mm wrenches to tighten. It hasn't loosened up again since, though.

    98 XJ Mystery Connector

    Mine has a connector like that connected to the stock fog lamp switch, and there's an additional one behind it that's disconnected.

    sensor connector replacements

    I've found that most of the original connectors in mine are weatherpack, and they've held up very well. they can be found cheap on eBay (Delphi). I like to solder all of my terminals, and assemble them with silicon dielectric grease.

    yet another high NOx smog issue

    Great to hear that you got it figured out. I'm sort of surprised that the cat made that much different. I feel like I should add a downstream o2 sensor so that I can be sure mine is working correctly. I've got a Renix system and 703 injectors, so it runs super rich for the 5-8 seconds it takes...

    Slow Cherokee

    I don't believe in Seafoam or any of those fancy little bottles. You'd think they do something since there are so many of them, but they're not subject to any regulation. You can spray water into your intake to clean it, it will vaporize and steam clean your pistons and cylinders, and it's a...

    Running lights are too bright

    It sounds like you might have bridged circuits somewhere. Do your running lights get brighter when you step on the brake? I would start by removing the rear running lamp and brake bulbs and checking for debris on the contacts. Make sure the bulbs are inserted correctly as suggested above. If...

    Testing Jeep O2, Oxygen sensors

    I just diagnosed a faulty sensor on my 1990 Renix with a 3-pin weatherpack adapter I made. It's basically about 6" of wire with male and female connectors on either side, and extra leads about 2' long crimped in for a good secure connection. I hooked up my DMM and measured the sensor heater...

    Fuel rail quick connect o-ring damaged upon rail re-installation ...

    Sorry to dig this up, but everywhere I check there are two sizes of o-ring listed. Do I need both? My supply and return lines look like they have the same (4x) size o-rings, but they're so dried up I don't think it would be worth it to measure them. Should it be 5/16-spacer-3/8 or is one...

    KJ (8.25) rear disc swap - Clearing the air (semi-writeup)

    Old thread time! My rear drums are shot, and I'm looking to upgrage to disks, currently I've got a D35 w/3.55. I found a KJ 8.25 w/4.10s for $400 in a nearby yard, is it possible to swap in the whole axle?

    New switch panel

    Ok, I thought you used a box that was shorter on one edge, I see now that you cut it down.

    Wheel is locked, key won't turn. What to try?

    It sounds like your ignition switch is the problem. Mine is located at the base of the steering column, at around the 1:30 position, but it's a 1990 so yours might be different. Mine became fused, and I had exactly the same symptoms. Don't hit the key, don't overtorque the cylinder, just remove...

    which header

    What changed for 1991 that makes the APN incompatible with my 1990?

    New switch panel

    I have a very similar set-up in my rig, but I like your project box better, it looks like a better angle. What model is it? For my connections I'm running this tefzel wire. It's stranded and has a tough jacket. I'm using the black/red wires for constant power and ground, and my sixth switch...
