Default I've never cleaned my grounds...

It's very embarrassing, but true. I've had my 94 Cherokee (with the 4.0 and aw4) for 8 or 9 years. My dad had it before me and the grounds have never been cleaned or refreshed.

I plan on going through them one by one this weekend and refreshing everything perfectly.
My question is, what should I expect after the cleaning? The jeep runs ok just little more sluggish than it was 8 years ago, and my mileage is down a little. Will it run like new again after cleaning my grounds?

All my major and minor tune up items have been taken care of within the last year or two (plugs, wires, dizzy cap, fuel filter, 703 injectors, fresh filters and fluids throughout, new apn header). I could go on but you get the idea.

So, what should I expect with the ground refresh? Thanks in advance!

it won't improve anything, but will keep you from having any electrical problems in the future from a wire not getting a connection
