Well if you want to be technical about it, the internet is just a bunch of networked computers. All of which do have screws

I have upgraded that old cone to a real K&N 3" cone and that home made C.A.I works cuz my IAT temps where -0

Sorry, I didn't click the link. I meant to point out that putting a cone filter in place of the factory airbox just brings in the same warm air.

Default idle issues

So ive dont the wires plugs rotor and dist cap. Also oil change fuel and air filter. Ive cleaned out throttle body and the IAC. still have a rough idle. Ive got 2 codes. 42 and 51. 51 says something about bad O2 sensor. Said that would cause rought idle when hot and bad drop in MPG. Any ideas?

Buy a 470ohm resistor from radioshack. Get the jeep to operating temp and shut it off. While the jeep is off unplug the coolant sensor on the thermostat housing. Plug the resistor in the connector end, not the sensor. Make sure the both ends of the resistor are touching a terminal. Then turn the ignition on. Your temp guage should read roughly 235 deg and the aux fan should run.... By doing this your testing the fans whole circuit relay and all. If the fan comes on you know everything is good.
I like your test for the elec fan and will keep your procedure in mind if I ever have problems. But wanted to toss out this idea. My elec fan comes on when I turn on the A/C, usually about a second after I turn the ****; and stays on the entire time the a/c is selected. Does everybody's?
That would surly test the workings of the fan itself and that power is going to it. Now to test if higher coolant temps trips the fan on I would use your procedure. Just tossing out ideas.
