Looks a lot more fun than the digging around the wires with a voltmeter-bit that is my Jeep-chore of the day, this electrical stuff is just insane.

Best of luck with the build!

I would imagine, are you doing it by hand?

As for my 94; I got a new camshaft sensor and it started right up, drove it a bit and so far so good. Am still a bit worried that it won't start up when I go out there in 30 mins tho...

Also wanted to say thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated.

Haha, yup, it's an eerie feeling.

Not too familiar with the mechanics of bushings and refitting, did you work it out?

I had a similar problem, with my 96XJ dying intermittently. Check your O2 sensors, primarily the front one. Check the wires inside the loom. On mine, the wire insulation flaked off and the bare wires were shorting out, causing intermittent problems. I also replaced the camshaft position sensor since I had it already and between the two, I haven't had any problems since.

Sounds nice! Is it on the Jeep in the avatar?

Interesting! I did get an error code about the O2-sensor when I was digging around and using trial and error – I had an ugly wire which was showing naked copper. It was located close to the front of the body, on the right hand side of the engine (when facing the headlights). Not sure of the correct term or where the front sensor is. Also, the guy who owned the car before me put on a new exhaust system and maybe that screwed something up.
