True. I don't even have the parts yet. But thought I'd look for something I'd need while there. Lol. You basically cut back the cable and clamp it to the parking brake lever thing on the backing plate right?

Oooh. Forgot about that. I'll see if one's there. I'll just grab it all from the libby.

 

Just did that and topped of the oil. I'm gonna buy several oil filters next time so I have my own supply.

Ran Great Yesterday After Cap And Plug Replacement. Now fuel pump won't prime nor will gaugeS fluctuate. cranks over fine but doesnt start. battery and fuel gauge sit flat with key on. I jumped the relays and then even swap them out, fuses look good still no luck
any ideas?
thanks guys

excuse the terrible capitalization stupid phones!

 

The in-dash voltmeter doesn't show anything when you turn the key?

 

Nope. Nada. Just TheOil Pressure gage moves a little. all the other stay flat

 

i Unplugged plug the CPS. and the gauges came back to life. so cPS is bad?

 

So is a side gear/spider gear swap pretty simple?

 

In my mind yes.

 

The spiders fall out when you aren't looking if you've got the center pin out. I imagine the side gears are pressed into something... maybe they fall out too

 

All sorts of **** falls out. Easy

 

I believe this is related to a ground fault. Your CPS may be dead and you may have a ground issue. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

At the least you can always do a ground freshening. If it doesn't solve your issue it's certainly good maintenance.

 

CPS is probably at fault.

 

88 xj. Any way to bypass defroster vent in dash?

 

I'd need a diagram to tell you for sure. What are you trying to do?

 

Directing more airflow towards his flux capacitor.
