    1990 Wrangler YJ 2.5 idles smoothly at 1100 RPM but stumbles just off-idle when moving out from a stop

    Found the issue - the vacuum hose leading to the MAP was old and torn. For now I cut an inch off it and reattached. Idle speed now down to 950 or so when warmed up and the stumble is gone, yay! I think I’ve also confirmed that my IAC is working properly. When I started the Jeep after...

    1990 Wrangler YJ 2.5 idles smoothly at 1100 RPM but stumbles just off-idle when moving out from a stop

    I put new plugs, cap, rotor and wires on it 10/16/2019. Driven it maybe 5500 miles since then. Just cleaned the throttle body with carb cleaner and I also cleaned the reusable conical air filter when I did this. How should the springs be attached?

The “red” cable they offer is for the rightmost of the two sliders viewed from the top of the control box when you slide it out. The “blue” cable is...

    YJ Heating System Explained

    Right, this one did not come with that option. I just took another look at the system. Both of the control cables are detached from the top of the control box and their mounting tabs are broken. Wonder if I can source new cables and a new box with the silders? Also…looking for those two...

    YJ Heating System Explained

    Good write up! For my 1990 it’s heat and vent only, no a/c. Although my HVAC sliders move the full range, the heat control does nothing. Therefore, I’ve learned to push on the plate on the side of the plenum where that cable is supposed to move it. I go full stop to either direction to cut...
