When I am coming to a stop, the Jeep idle stumbles. Also there seems to be no bottom to the brake pedal. Brake pedal isn't really spongy but feels softer than what feels right. Brakes themselves are fairly new, front and rear, no leaks. Maybe the under hood something is going?

The way I understand it, the old fluid had the broken down clutch material in it. Even though it was in particulate form, it still helped the transmission function.

With the 95 model fuel regulator in the rail, does the vacuum connection increase fuel pressure under vacuum?
Could you theoretically disconnect the vacuum line to reduce the fuel pressure in an attempt to reduce fuel usage?

I'm gonna waterproof my wiring under the hood this weekend. I'm gonna get some contact cleaner and clean inside all the terminals. When I dielectric, should I also put some inside of the connectors and around the base where the wiring enters or just where the wiring enters. Thanks in advance

Cool. I always hear different things about putting them in the contacts. Figured, I've put it off long enough and now that I have the hood vents, rather not take chance lol
I believe the concern is with using it in high voltage environments, not so much low voltage ones.

Recently installed a new stereo in my XJ and i have to turn the volume up quite high for it to be loud enough to hear (30-40). Any idea if i can get the radio to come on at a lower volume setting? i cant even hear it until around 15-20.
I have the Pioneer DEH 150
