It never starts out bad. Rust sucks more than anything on earth.

I had to mutilate my last oil filter to get it off and didn't pay attention to see if the gasket on it came off.

Changing my oil now and when I got the old filter off the gasket pictured came with it...
Looks like a filter from days gone by left its O-ring on there! It's supposed to just be flat metal.

What year XJ? 97+ is supposed to beep constantly until you fix whatever it's complaining about (key in with the door open, headlights on with engine off and door open are all I encounter)

This is a 00. TB and sensors have been cleaned, not replaced.
O2s aren't brought into the equation until after the engine has warmed up. I'd *test* your MAP and TPS, check out the coolant temp sensor too.

When was the last tuneup?

CTS may be easiest to test. Unplug it and drive. If that fixes it, replace the sensor.

If those welds break JCR is getting a piece of my mind. Lol.

Default fuel pump
After my exhaust fell off just after the cat the cat fell apart or no doubt had already been destroyed. Anyhow long story short the exhaust shot a fireball at my gas tank and burnt the wiring harness and the rubber fuel lines. So I replaced the wires and the fuel lines and now I am only getting 4 volts to the fuel pump. I have tested the fuel pump and it spools right up when hooked up to the battery.

So any ideas on the reduced voltage, a bad ground maybe?

If you can get the ball and its race out without damaging the piece that it goes in (highly unlikely). Then all you need is that and u joints. I'd just get the whole new piece, I ****ed mine up trying to get the old one out, got the new SPICER replacement part for like 50 dollars from northern driveline.

Here's a pic of the damage from getting the old race out, and the part number. And the old one is a nice paper weight/conversation piece on my desk.
