Whew! That's somewhat of a relief. Thanks, thatdude.

So here's my dilemma now. The check engine bulb is good, but it doesn't come on when I turn on the key.

Anybody have an idea of where/what I should be checking to get it to work again?

there's a wire bolted on the block, right on where the oil dipstick is at. That's the ground location for the OBDII.

If u have obd I then I dunno. Lol

Ya bent yer gerd dang tie rid?

But really, it's that simple. I'd suggest a pickle fork. Just try and find one with good ends, and replace the boots after you rip them with the pickle fork.

Also and alignment afterwards would be a good idea.

Edit: Make sure it's a v8 zj! You can tell by boat anchor 318 in the engine bay

I just unscrew the castle nut until its flush with the top of the threads and whack it with a hammer. Don't forget to check your toe, mine was like a half inch out after the swap. Pro tip: stick a screwdriver in the slit in the adjusting sleeve once you loosen the bolts to adjust the length easily.

90 doesn't have a "check engine" light function.

Only an emissions timer.
