I have been having multiple electrical issues lately, shorts in my injector control, o2 sensor, plus other non engine issues. This makes me want to just replace the majority of my wiring. My problem comes when I start looking for a new harness I can find a factory replacement wiring harness for every jeep model except the cherokee. Anyone know where to find one or a injector control circuit? (another thing I can't find anywhere).

help
I am having some problems with the dash lights in my 97 limited grand, they kinda flicker and when I put pressure on the light selector *** they light up but couldnt find any wires pinched and what not... Also the little screen down in front of the shifter doesnt light up at all. Thanks for any help.

I think you're trying to ask is if 31s on stock gears in a 5-speed sucks. Yes it does lol. It will be really fun to get it going into first gear from a stop... hope you have fine motor control in your left foot lol

Thanks guys you really have taught me a lot in a few post. Hoping to get my motor in by new years! Then I guess I will work some over-time and get me some auto axles and a 3 inch lift with 31's. I will post pictures I'm bringing one back from the dead.

Ok, let's try this:
My Jeep:
1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L Auto 4x4
151,000 miles
My Issues:
• CEL - Can't get free reading because of CA laws - Trying to avoid extra cost if possible
• Jeep starts right up, no hesitation, no drop in RPM from the start.
• After letting off the gas (especially in small areas like parking lots), the Jeep will drop RPM to ~300 or die but will start right back up with no problem
• Shifting is slow/hanging between all gears. For instance: Jeep will generally shift into 3rd at about 2500-2700 rpm (normal driving), but now it will just hang at that range or slightly higher unless I get up to ~50mph+
• From dead stop, there is some hesitation when accelerating.
My Plan of Attack:
• When time permits, I will remove throttle body, IAC and TPS to clean
What I'm Hoping For from members here:
• Someone with prior experience with this exact issue that can lend some experience into my troubleshooting
I have found other threads in my searching where this exact issue has been discussed, however, no one has followed up after suggestions were offered, therefore, I am still at Stage 1 (see: Plan of Attack).
Thanks guys. I'm not trying to instigate a bunch of meaningless internet flaming but I don't understand some of the quick-to-judge comments. I'm over it.
Peace.
