wanting to do a tune up
Neewbie wanting to do a tune up on my 92 xj 4.0 was hoping you guys could give me a good parts list,plugs,wires,etc...if you could include brands of parts you have had good luck with that would be very helpful.

Stay with Champion copper plugs gaped at .035. The E3 and any of those fancy plugs are garbage and a waist of money for the 4.0. As for the cap and rotor make sure to get something with the brass contacts.

x2 on the champion coppers they run smooth, i also have a coil too instead of wires, but it wouldnt hurt to get new wires and filter too

Accel has a kit with plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. It is a good quality kit. I did not use the plugs though, I got the Champion plugs. The kit is available through Quadratec and Summit Racing. I can't remember the part number off of the top of my head though.

I'm a little biased since I work part-time at NAPA, but I would use Belden lifetime wires, Echlin cap & rotor, Champion plugs, and NAPA Gold/Wix filters.

Get the PREMIUM cap and rotor with brass contacts. Don't forget to get a new fuel filter and air filter too!

How many miles on your Jeep? if its over 100k and the o2 sensor has never been done... I would do that also it will give you a lot better gas mileage
and i agree Brass tune parts are a must...
