High Idle
I had a similar problem with my 89. After it was warmed up it would idle at around 1500 rpm. I fixed every vaccum leak and replaced every sensor as well as the EGR. I finally took it to a shop where I knew they could diagnose it. Turns out the TPS needed adjusting, the butterfly valve in the intake needed to be cleaned and they also adjusted the throttle stop screw. Idles perfectly now. This was my issue but after spending about 6 months trying to figure it out I learned it could have been several other things. Vaccum leaks, TPS and the IAC valve. If this just started happening it could also be carbon build up in the intake where the IAC valve goes in. Good luck.

Went wheeling today, hit a good dip got some air and hit pretty hard. Blew out a pro comp mono tube driver side shock and the back windshield is busted. As far as I know I don't see anything obviously messed up. I know I need to check the axels and the unibody and make sure they are straight, I just don't understand how I am to do so.
I know I need to get parked level and get a level but what do I measure? From where? And with the shock being out wont it make it unlevel when I try to measure it?

Quick question people. My main leaf sucks and is level. Wanna add a leaf under it for some support however don't have no pick n pulls here so I'm stuck getting full packs. My question is what a decent AAL for around 2yr use and is cheap in price. Id rather not use an AAL but chances are I'm not gonna get a hand on 2 extra mains to cut the eyes off
Edit: oh and I'm currently at a 2" budget boost and got longer shackles in the rear. I'm wiling to go up another inch or so in the rear but don't wanna worry about SyE etc yet. Thanks again

How much is a wilderness Garvin swing away tire carrier bumper with a brand new 33" tire on a d-Window wheel, with some surface rust be worth?

Finally got my jeep on the road, it's a 91 4x4 sport with the AW4. I was on my way home and gave a little more gas than I thought and the tires just spun like I was on sand. They have good tread. I was doing 25 or so through my neighborhood and stomped the pedal and the tires spun and chirped. So my question is, how do I tell if the tow package is after market or if it's regeared?
