No. Different spring perch offset, and I think also different spring width. And shock mounts.

And I got my bolt-in MJ44 for $150

Need quick answer.

Had this problem before, sprayed engine down avoiding alt, diZzy, and major electrical. Used low pressure.

Now i have extremly high idle. Like 3k+.

Iv got no vaccum leaks, unplugged the idle controle motor next to tps with out and change in idle. When open up the throttle the idle just goes higher.

I have no tools with me and im stuck at the car wash with a idle that will kill me if i try to drive it home.

Next time keep it idling cause it will let you know when you spray something you shouldn't be

Shift to Neutral to stop and back in gear to move. I had that problem after my first river crossing, and I was idling at 20mph in 4LO.

WD-40 in all your electrical connections, and then pack them with dielectric grease.

Trying to replace stock fog switch with a rugged ridge rocker switch, a little confused with what I have found via search. Stock harness has four wires, new switch has three tabs, I get the general in, out and ground wiring, but what do I do with the illumination stock wire? There's no place to put it? Should I splice it into the input tab? Or just stub it off?

Well heres the thing, this xj has had a high idle issue before. I did many walk throughs with Cruiser54 about a year ago and got it under control and fixed.

Well a few months after i got it fixed i took it for a car wash and cleaned the engine bay. Im pretty sure i had the same problem, and i think i just drove it home anyways. The next morning i went out and started it and wala! It was running fine.

Heres what i assume, since idle is controlled by the Idle air control motor and the ecu it has to be one of those. Becuase last time when cruiser helped me i was getting resistance in the 5 main sensor grounds on the renix engine, so cruiser had me solder the 5 grounds together. Once everything was put back together the idle stayed down below 5-700 rpms with every start.

So now I believe i have either a bad tps,iac, or more wireing problems. Time for the multimeter and some alone time in the next few days i guess.
