Had to go to work last night, and I don't have his number. My order of attempts today was gonna be GarrettFab, Chris, and then Green2000 due to distance, but I'm going to bed. I couldn't sleep, so the truck will wait. It's supposed to hit mid-60s this week, anyway, so I'm not too worried about getting salt on the car.

Got the power steering pulley tightened with the new Gatorback, FINALLY! Jeep was down forever. Also replaced spark plugs and cleaned IAC (thanks 96xjclassic). Still misses and runs a little rough under light acceleration around 30-35mph, but it idles smoother and runs 10x better than before. It's running super rich, though, so I won't throw more money at it until the PCM adjusts.

Added my lights for the season. I last year they went on my XJ Dec 1-25, but I'm late this year cause I had to get her running.

Also drove it around the area about 150 miles in the last two days trying to get lost and clear my head. Didn't work, but I passed 155k at some point.

Same stumbling and hesitation, but she's a dream in the right RPM range.

I don't remember, but it certainly won't hurt to plug the disco'd lines.
