After my 1998 classic sits for 2 or more hours it takes a bit of time to start up. The PO thought it was the the fuel sending unit or regulator in the fuel pump not keeping pressure in the lines. My boss at work (I work at an auto shop) believes its the CPS. He says they're common to go out on the I6's..

So which do you guys think it is? Also if it's the CPS where's a good place to find them and how hard is it to replace?

Sounds like battery to me, one cell losing a charge. CPS is indeed common to go out but usually you get other symptoms as well.

I had an issue that was similar, the previous owner of my jeep broke the bracket/clip that held the wires to the cps away from the intake mani and exhaust mani and the cps wires melted and are bare. So now everytime i have the issue i pop he hood jiggle the wires and she fires right up.


BUT.....if you think it has to do with fuel, you can check the pressure from the fuel rail with a gauge. Also could try removing the hose to the fuel filter and try running the pump while you have the hose in a container to make sure it doesnt seem to fluctuate in speed or pressure. But id assume its not fuel related.

Just my .02, good luck.

How do I stop the condensation leak into the passenger compartment?
Also my my Fm radio started making a lot of static and the sound went faint shortly after I was performed the blow motor resistor change. I checked the antenna cable connection next to the glove box dis-conneted and re-connected and nothing changed. AM and the cassette working okay. Anyone know what I may have disrupted?

Brand new ZJ tie rod + TREs etc for only $60? Man I want to shop where you shop.

You can buy HD replacements from shops like Rusty's but it's like $100 per item, though they do have a kit: http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-st...onversion.html. Next step up from that is an OTK style setup or one-ton style for megabucks
