well the renix jeeps like ours tend to be quite touchy when it comes to electronics. Take for example the ABS system. One faulty electronic ground wire sets the compressor off without letting it know that you don't need it and then you have a 15,000psi bomb sitting in your engine bay. There are many more, but thats the one i like. But it might not be a sensor, I haven;t ever had to look into starting problems besides when my NSS went out, which is not your problem. Somehow I think it could be related to fuel. Maybe the fuel cuts out when you let off of the key?

Whats the easiest way to get the new wires from the stereo to the rear soundbar? Just to take off all of the panels or is there an easier way?

measure the distance between the mounts if it lines up it may work

Run them behind the stereo down the driverside behind the panels all the way back then up, its cake

Take the rear panels out up to the headliner, the front panels you should be able to tuck the wires under

I have an 01 cherokee. AC blows cold but when the control **** is in the re-circ position the air splits between the windshield and dash vents obviously taking away from the dash velocity. Is this a "nature of the beast" problem or is there a remedy?
thanks

Nah recirc is supposed to close the vent and reuse cabin air and not fresh air. When I recirc it comes out from main vents. Curious what you issue is

I hope this isn't too god awful dumb but I didn't have time to look around. This hose is leaking BAD. More so spraying when it runs and revs. Im thinking an oil line, but not super sure. Can you confirm? THanks

Thanks

If i'm not mistaken, thats your transmission oil line going into your radiator to be cooled off. IDK for sure though, just my 2¢

I could not find anything by searching, so I'll try here.

I have a set of 14 inch wagon wheels, that appear to have 4 inch backspacing. My 98 has factory 15s, will 14 fit? How big of a tire can I get in that size?

Yes that is your trans fluid line. I would get that fixed ASAP! Its normal for these lines to be soggy, seems to be a jeep thing. But spraying out is a serious leak that needs to be fixed before you start losing gears in the tranny.

I know what a Jeep is...I dont know what a thread is...Cant seem to find the place to ask the question.The 91 Jeep is running great but too lean still..Is it possible the fuel pump is not putting out the pressure it should to lower the NOX to pass emissions and still be running that good?
