Haha! That cup is awesome!

 

I really DO have a Snap-On box filled with tools along with my trusty cup!!

I'm sure you'll keep us in the loop as to your progress.

 

Yeah buddy! Of course I'll keep you in the loop. Gotta have somebody to blame if it doesn't pass next time. HA HA! Actually Cruiser, this XJ came from right up by you. I'm in Phoenix, but bought it in Cordes Lakes. Get this, the reason the kid was selling it? He wanted a Honda because it was costing him too much to drive all the way from Cordes Junction to Prescott Valley to go camping... whaaat...

 

Key word: Cordes......

 

[QUOTE=BeardedOneder;2815700]Really?!?! Running water through the air intake is a good idea? Sorry to doubt, it just didn't seem like a real thing. /QUOTE] EDIT!!! A LITTLE SPRAY NEEDS TO BE DONE RIGHT, AND CAREFULLY, GOOGLE IT!

Yea. Actually I saw that coming. You are new, and some "guys" are telling you to run a hose in your intake. Btw You can always trust Radi. Cruiser does OK though. (he straightens me out when I'm wrong)

Pretty unlikely high combustion pressure due to carbon deposits it causing your high NOx, just seems a free and easy thing to work out. Likewise it's unlikely the 02 sensor. I'd snug the manifold bolts, find that evap leak, make sure the grounds are good and punch her through. I get it that the high NOx isn't directly dealt with, (unless you do eliminate a vacuum leak). It's sooo close. with a little help and no " evap leak" ..

 

Looks like the negative battery cable is actually attached to the same oil dipstick stud as the other ground. I can see the bolt hole in the block for the neg cable, but there is no bolt. Cleaned up both terminals and reattached them to the freshly cleaned dipstick stud. Should I find a matching bolt and move the neg cable back to its original home?

 

Leave it right there.

 

That was my feeling exactly. What's the best way to get at the vacuum reservoir in the bumper? If I remove the bumper end cap can I slide it out after removing the vac res bolts on the front?

 

Turn the wheels to the left. Poke your noggin in behind the passenger side turn signal. Finnagle that folded up piece of who knows what out da way and you can see the rezzy. The photo/diagram is wrong. The bolts are in the BOTTOM of the bumper. Not the front.

Are you done yet?

 

That makes a LOT more sense. I'll get cracking on it either late late tonight or after work tomorrow. Taking off early at 4 today to head to my boy's kindergarten for some event they are doing, and then immediately heading out to the other side of town for a family get together. Even had to turn down a guy who wanted to come take a look at my YJ this evening. HA HA!

 

Don't let me rush you. I'm just bustin yer chops!! Have fun tonight.

 

You kiddin? Im the one rushing me. Gotta pass that emissions test before my wife kills me! Haha!

 

You'll get it.

Might have to drive up to Prescott to get it scanned.....

 

Scanned in Prescott? But, I thought you guys in yavapai didnt have to have them emissions tested? I bought it in yavapai and when I tried to register it here in Maricopa county is when I found out I meeds to have it tested to register it here.

 

I meant hook it up to my DRB.
