Hey All:
I am pretty sure I have narrowed the problem down to a few loose wires right at the ECU connectors. I pulled the ECU down from under the dash and wiggled the wires right at the connectors - the Jeep started right up. When I move the ECU around or wiggle the wires again - the Jeep dies.
Last night, I pulled each wire, one at a time, and tried "squeezing" the connectors tighter. It seemed to work, until I was out test-running it and died on the side of the road.
I've had it with this Jeep. On top of this, I've had a intermitent charging problem that seems to be the alternator connector as well.
This Jeep needs to be reliable, so I am thinking at this point of just swapping out the entire engine wiring harness for a new one.
Anyone out there done this?
Any tips or pointers for me?
What did the harness cost you?
Thanks,
Chris
