Maybe a silly question but should I have pressure in my injector line when the engine is turned off and has been sitting for however long.

Default seat removal
I have been a member for a while, but haven't been on for quite some time. I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport, the driver's seat is broken. Is it easier to take the frame and everything out to replace it, or is there an easy way to remove the seat from the rails? Thanks for any help.

Depends how long and what year... answer ranges from "yes" to "very little"

If you're not up for fixing the seat yourself, you can swap in seats from any year XJ or ZJ. Look up the ZJ leather seat swap. You just change the frame that mounts to the floor for the ZJ and 84-95 XJ seats.

1989 4.0 Cherokee ... new plugs,new dist. cap and rotor. I have done all of crusier's refresh and added all the extra grounds. When I first start the Jeep it has a slight miss, after it get's to operating temp ( 212 or so ) the miss goes away. Anyone have a clue what may be causing this problem ? Thanks

Did you do wires?

Connector/relay refreshing?

Intake manifold bolts loose?

Vacuum leaks elsewhere on the intake? Hoses/tubing/fittings?

Did you do the sensor ground test?

Best valves to go with?
Beat springs?
Rockers?

I want to squeeze as much power out of the engine as possible without building the bottom end or stroking. I already have an intake ported and polished. Looking at some header options.

Best oversized throttle body that's plug and play?

Thanks guys!
Anyone?

Check out the stroker threads in Modified Tech for cam and rocker options. I don't know much about them but those guys seem to know their stuff.
