What are some common electrical problems that are in the rear hatch?
My parking lights fuse keep blowing every time I leave one bullet connector plugged in.

hi my names john i have a 1990 jeep cherokee. so its not a h.o. i have replace almost everything on my jeep. so im not a newby. i know most of my stuff. anyways, i start it and its good running, but after i run it for an hour then shut it off. then start it a minute later it revs to about about 1800 - 2000 rpms then drops down to about 200rpms and feels like its about to die. then i put my foot on the gas just making it up to 800rpms then let go and it levels back off. i was thinking fuel pressure regulator. but i dont really think thats it.

Mine did the same till I cleaned it up and now it works just fine.

So i was trying to remove my steering wheel today w a puller. One of the bolts sheaared off in the steering wheel. Tried an easy out. Snapped it too. Anyone have a good solution? Different kind of puller? I can just drill and retap, but would like to avoid that so i can get bolt out of og hole later on.

This may have been covered in this thread somewhere but I don't really feel like going through 489 pages just to hopefully find an answer. I want to repaint my rig but I what to know exactly how to do it. I got the jist of it. Sand it down, tape it off, prime it, and then paint it. I want to do flat black or OD Green. I don't have a air compressor. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Could I use a multimeter to see if my coil pack is going bad?
As in if a take the CP off put the plugs in it and attach the meter to a plug and have someone turn the motor, could I tell if it was bad or going bad?
Thanks,
Jon

HELP!!! I've got an '86 XJ that I've rebuilt the drivers side floor from firewall to back seat partition, because when I bought the Jeep the floor seemed a little saggy. After removing the carpet I realized there was no floor, and you could "read thru" about 5" of the sub-frame due to massive amounts of rust. The drivers side was replaced with a 3/16" thick side wall from a small dump truck, and I used the structural beam thru the middle to 'mend' the frame and left the steel plate to rebuild the area between the door jam and tranny tunnel, welded and pop riveted everything together and it's lasted for 3 years! But... took my son out trail riding and found a washed out part of the trail leading up a hill, and seen fairly good sized holes near the top. After 2 attempts to get the Jeep over the top in 2WD, I backed up, locked in the 4WD and hit it again, and with Hells' fury it launched in and out of the holes with a vengence, getting air as it exited. Unfortunately now the shackle block that hold the driver side leaf spring has ripped from the what remained of the sub-frame and floor, jacking the axle back about 1.5". I've used a come-alone to pull it back in place, but is it possible to rebuild this again? I plan to get a 5' piece of thick walled square tubing (2x4) and weld it to the front of the shackle block frame mount, and then weld it to the outside of what remains of the sub-frame. Any thoughts??

Injectors?
So I have a set of six injectors from a 98 mustang with a v6, they have four holes and an ev1 connector. Obviously they wont work on my jeep but is there a chance they would work on the pre 99 models? Is there anyone out there running them already? They are the f1ze-b4c.
