I did a little searching before posting this, but I didn't find a whole lot. When I start it in the morning, the idle lopes like the engine's cammed (it sounds awesome, but I know it's not right lol). After warming up, the idle is low and occasionally pics up to 700-800rpm and dives off again to 500ish. I checked the fuel pressure, and it's good (31psi, 39psi with the vac tube off the regulator).

I'm heading out to clean all the electrical connections, I'm just seeing if any of you guys have had this issue and how you fixed it. Thanks.

I cleaned up all the sensor connections and put a dab of dielectric grease to keep them clean. The idle became worse for a few minites, but it smoothed out and ran just fine. The jeep still seems to have all of its power. It's running rich, the exhaust burned my nose when I smelled it. I'll be doing some more searching on that, but I'm still looking for ideas on a fix.

I'll have to take that tube off and check it. I've never messed with it on this jeep. Do part store sell this tube, or would I have to make a new one?

Not ava new nowhere. Common break place is at throttle body. It can be spliced with vacuum line if needed. Sse if its brooke first.
