Default 2001 ABS light and Airbag light

Well I jacked her up last night and checked ABS sensors. They looked good. Checked lines...Good. I am really starting to believe that when they pulled the dash/column they didn't replace the Clock spring. My only concern is that since the horn and cruise still work that it may not be the problem. Stealership wants $95 dollars an hour to diagnose. No thanks.

Luckily I live 20 minutes from summit racing and they have a new clock spring in stock for 50 bucks. May as well throw a new one in...

Anyone ever have a bad clock spring pop the ABS light?

Just wondering if Compass wheels will fit my Jeep? I am looking for summer driving wheels, and I dont off road that much. I have those tires on my stock wheels.

I have a 2 door, 4x4.

Default No toe in?

I just took a look in my FSM for my 90. No toe-in? That sounds goofy to me. I've seen toe-out on a front wheel drive...anyway, any comment's on that? Thanks, Don

Part of me wants bigger rubbers. I'm currently at a 4" lift sitting on 31s and have not cut the fenders. How big can I go without upgrading the axel?

Thanks much Dan^. Jrock, the longer you wait, the longer you will have to endure the "under-sized" ones.

Your opinion between these two:

Hella 500 ff's (6" @ 55w) $64
HELLA 005750981 500FF Series 12V/55W Clear Halogen Fog Lamp Kit:Amazon:Automotive HELLA 005750981 500FF Series 12V/55W Clear Halogen Fog Lamp Kit:Amazon:Automotive

Or automats lights (7" @ 100w) $55
http://www.automatcentral.com/7-inch-offroad-lamps

I have seen pics of the automats light. They have a very low, flat profile. Hella's not sure. But hellas come w everything, i can get brush guards for the hellas, and could wire them up to the factory wiring and use the wiring that comes w/ the kit to wire my new reverse lights that im gonna turn my existing fogs into.

Yup. Electronically, the TPS is similar to a volume **** you'd find on the stereo. Basically bolt your throttle plate to one of those ***** and rotate it, and that's how the computer knows how much gas it should dump in. More "volume" = more air going into the engine and hence more fuel should be supplied. If the computer thinks that all of a sudden the throttle is at MAX, it's going to dump in so much fuel that it'll stall out. This would be similar to a bad volume **** that crackles when you touch it.

As for warming up, since the intake manifold sits directly above the exhaust any heat is going to wind up in that area. As the metals warm up their resistance and shape can change... also whatever goo might be in the way could get warm enough to not interfere as much.
