well I tried the carb cleaner on all my vac line connections and there was no change in rpms. I may be missing one so these are the lines I know I checked: vac line from fuel prs regulator to intake, line from map sensor to intake, line from evap. to intake, and cruise control vac lines all the way to the bumper bottle. Missing something?

In response to the high idle issue you had mentioned you cleaned your throttle body, did you rebiuld it or just cleaned it. I'm thinking a seal or grommet may have cracked in there, maybe you could consider fully rebuilding it, I would check where your throttle cable conects to your TB as well, if your throttle cable is even a little sticky it will catch. A little wd40 on it and tap the throttle a few times.
Well I hope I helped

Ok. I put a new muffler on my xj last weekend via clamps and the little metal adapters from autozone and it worked pretty well but the whole set up was 2 or 3 inches longer than stock but still fits fine. Now the problem is that the check engine light came on for the o2 sensor. Today I went and made sure everything was tight and that the sensor just past the cat was plugged in tight. Next I went down the road and the check engine light went off then a couple minutes later I hit a bump and it came back on. What do I do now? Thanks

Default upper/lower control arm

ok so im planning on lifting my 89 xj 4 to 5 inches my question is do i need upper and lower control arms or just lowers, and if i need both why is there so many stores that feature just lower arms? and what about the control arm drop bracket, is this kind of the cheap, **** poor way of extending them, or are they decent.

thank you in advance

this is the website ive been looking at... any opinions of quality or affordability. I see they stock both the drop brackets and the control arms

ironman4x4.com has incredible arms at a reasonable price. i dont know if you need both upper and lowers, but considering its an 89... im sure they need new bushings...

just food for though.

Clean the sensor plug, sounds exactly like what my speed sensor does
I cleaned it once ams it worked great does a week bit I'm too lazy to clean it all the way.

is there a tip or secrete to putting new head lights in a ZJ? I took old ones out replaced header panel and the lower light and blinker went back in with no issues. The main headlight just wont clip back in for me. Any help would be great,
