Allright. I will post back again later after doing that. I also havent gotten to the ground refreshing. For the longest time now i had no idea where the dipstick tube stud was but i found an older post. http://comancheclub.com/topic/36382-...rs-renix-tips/ that had pictures! Wth cruiser?! Showin the commanche some picture love but not us xj guys? =P Literally you are on every forum ive seen though and im super glad to have found those pictures. You ought to save those pictures and add them to your renix tips for this site. For someone like me it can be very helpful. Yeah dipstick tube stud would sound real simple but ive been in that area several times and the area is so caked with oil and crud ive never noticed a stud. Should be able to find it easily now! Gonna have to mix up some degreaser and see if i can dig it out. Lol. Anywho be back later after a nap!
Thanks for the alert. Photos now attached to that post and a few more.

Good show Cruiser. =)
So i unhooked the vaccum lines from the egr. Man those suckers were on there! No chance of those lines leaking lol. Plugged htem up with screws and drove about 5 miles. Upon initial startup the idle sounded great. Put it into gear and it got a little rougher being under load. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish by ear between my cat rattling or if its the engine when going by sound but usually the jeep will noticeably shake and if the hood is open i can see the engine shimmy a little once that idle surges. I drove 5 miles out and 5 miles back shut it off and started it up twice to be sure. It did not stall on me a single time. The throttle felt more responsive in the low range. Previously it was very gutless. This time it threw me back in the seat a little bit unexpectedly. The idle still surges up and down at random but far less and not nearly as extreme in my opinion and the highlight though is no stalling under any of the previously repeatable circumstances.
