Drink.

Or do you mean on the XJ? Haha

I've got a never ending list, some maintenance, some upgrading, but time, real knowledge, and money sometimes aren't there.

For example, I have a JCR 1 ton OTK steering kit sitting in the garage. Never done an OTK swap, and I don't have a good reemer or welder so those just sit.

I have my new motor mounts from Iron Man 4x4 on their way, finally, and once those get here I have an engine hoist, so they'll actually get installed. Then I can install my 3 core radiator and replace the rest of the cooling system without fear of tbe fan hitting the rad.

So thats the next project, maybe for next weekend?

Verified fuel pressure, 31psi.

Realized I have no idea what a good electronics cleaner is or where to get it. So I got lazy and didn't do much more.

Tell me about it. I have a new rear bumper that's been sitting for 2 years, old one got creased pretty good. I go out, look at the rusted bolts holding it on, then go back inside where the A/C is. I'm gonna go with "winter project".

Its either coil or crank sensor.

Can anyone post links to test both? Coil preferred, as CPS testing can be shotty.

Went ti start it today and got nothing.

Going to grab CPS and coil.

These seem to work OK. For a while anyway!

http://www.harborfreight.com/7-funct...ter-98025.html

Only does tenths of a volt AC, but say a low .3 like .32 might flash a .2 now and then. When my CPS got there is when I got the echlin #css980.

Congrads on the house!
