What is "seems fine"? You've checked all pins for continuity to ground, measured voltages, and tested for shorts?

Fuel mix is set by TPS, O2, MAP, IAT, and ECT sensors. Good grounds are essential as are no vacuum leaks and clean sensors (buildup messes with IAT and ECT). If your O2s are original just change them, they're only good for around 80k miles. New NTK sensors are pretty cheap online.

^ MAP sensor.

Here's instructions on how to test the MAP sensor. It's from a '94 XJ FSM so I don't if it pertains to the '91 or not. Make sure you check the vacuum tubing to the MAP sensor as well.

Hey yall, I am installing some train horns. I tried to wire them up to my horns and they worked for a bit and then they stopped. Now when I press my horn there is a click that is coming from the glove box area or passenger side dashboard area. All of the fuses internal and external are fine so I am lost as to what this is. Is it a compressor? A bad connection? Thanks yall.

Because the exact length bolts are no easily available and also studs would make install of the housing with gasket onto the head without all the cawkeyed guess work.

Relay? What kind of horns? Actual train horns? Real train horns will have a compressor, usually a small air tank, a bunch of valving, and the electronics. Much more involved than just hooking it up to existing wiring. Double check your work, and any relays and go from there. Best I got with limited info...

This and OP you blew the fuse probably. Hook the horn feed to a 40a relay and then run a fused wire from battery to what your controlling

I think mattphillips did a write up. He didn't use tj lights but it's all the same. It's really simple actually, the hardest part is getting everything to look right afterwards.
